  1. Fifth Test recap (part four)

    However, from 92-0 (and 109-1 at lunch), it's all gone a bit pear-shaped for England.

    They lost six wickets in the afternoon session and are now 242-8, leading by 18 runs. And remember, Chris Woakes has been ruled out of this match with a shoulder injury.

    Here's the first four England wickets.

    Deep dismisses Duckett for 43 after reverse sweep attempt is edged behind to Jurel

    England lose review as Siraj dismisses Root lbw for 29

  2. Fifth Test recap (part three)

    With India all out for 224, England came out flying, with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett piling 92 runs in just 12.5 overs for the first wicket.

    Instead, they lost four wickets inside the opening 30 minutes of day two.

    Gus Atkinson finished with 5-33.

    Tongue dismisses Nair lbw for 57

    Atkinson finishes with figures of 5-33 in India's first innings

    It's quite gloomy out there and I think India will be quite happy with this because the forecast tomorrow is a lot better.

    They need one more wicket, I can't imagine Chris Woakes will come out and bat. If they can be in for the majority of tomorrow when it's nice and sunny, it could be a better day for batting.

  6. Why isn't cricket played in the rain?

    Ask Me Anything

    We've watched rather a lot of rain over the past two days. It's the fourth time I've seen the covers come on and the third time play has been brought to a halt.

    But why isn't cricket played in the rain? Well, BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team has the answer.

    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    Where has that come from? I don't think it's raining very hard.

    Raining now.

    England lead by 18 runs

    Harry Brook takes a single off the penultimate ball of the over and Josh Tongue safely defends the last.

    Brook will be on strike for the next over BUT some light drizzle has arrived, so the players are leaving the field.

    It's getting very dark. Rain is due.

    Harry Brook ended up flat on his back and sweeps Mohammed Siraj well into the stand.

    Siraj is not happy with that. That's a phenomenal shot.

    A tumbling Harry Brook has swept Mohammed Siraj deep into the stands for six. Shot of the day?

    Prasidh Krishna has bowled nicely and quickly. That was onto Gus Atkinson a bit quicker than he expected.

    What an afternoon India are having here.

    Gus Atkinson's flurry comes to an end. He's played a couple of lovely shots and perhaps that was rather overambitious.

    He was lured into that by Prasidh Krishna.

    A Brook 70 here would be more valuable than the Bazball hundreds we all love.

    That's a useful boundary from Gus Atkinson. The home crowd enjoy that.
