  1. 50 runs

    50 for Rishabh Pant

    Ind 192-3

    'He's having a terrific game!' - Pant brings up half-century

    Rishabh Pant has had some good fortune in this innings - and gets some more here.

    Another edge off Josh Tongue and this one goes through the second/third slip area - again at a catchable height - for four.

    That takes him to 49 and a clip to leg brings him two to bring up his 16th Test half-century.

    The left-hander follows that up by flaying Tongue through the covers for four.

    In Bashir's defence, Jadeja also didn't threaten much. Not sure any spinner would be dominating here.

    Look at that take off! We have seen a couple of them today but that is definitely something to do with the pitch.

  4. Ind 179-3

    Lead by 185

    Where did that come from?

    Josh Tongue gets one to jump from a length and rap KL Rahul on the gloves.

    Good signs for England's bowlers - the batters might be less thrilled to see it as they look ahead to the chase.

  5. Cheteshwar Pujara
    India batter on BBC Test Match Special

    This will be for the English bowlers because they know this is the main partnership.

  6. Ind 179-3

    Lead by 185

    Change of angle from Shoaib Bashir as he moves to round the wicket to the right-handed KL Rahul.

    After five singles, the experienced opener pushes a single into the gap at point. Bashir has bowled reasonably well, pretty tight, but there hasn't been a huge amount threat.

    Just don’t understand how Bashir gets into this side. There’s a player there, but he can’t get a game for a Division 1 county side and not looked particularly threatening.

    I'm hoping this brings about a flurry of wickets, but neither Rahul or Pant look even vaguely threatened by Bashir...

    Pant had been playing quite carefully since lunch. There is also the Pant factor, if he is there after tea he can go.

  9. Ind 179-3

    Lead by 185

    The runs are just starting to come a little more easily for India as Rishabh Pant just opens the face a fraction and guides the ball down to deep third for four.

    All very controlled.

    Not so much later in the over. Josh Tongue gets one to leap from back of a length and beat Pant's bat as he tries to cut.

    England, please note. It is good to be circumspect, even cautious if the situation demands it whilst batting. India have flair batsmen who can rein it in sensibly if there is a need. England tend to bat furiously at all times, no matter what the circumstances. A Test match tests much more than a rapid runs per over ratio

    Nicely balanced sweep shot from Rahul.

  12. Ind 175-3

    Lead by 181

    Rahul sweeps Bashir delivery towards deep backward square leg for four

    Strong sweep shot from KL Rahul to start Shoaib Bashir's over.

    The India opener hammers it away behind square, giving the fielder in the deep no chance.

  13. Ind 171-3

    Rahul 79, Pant 41

    Horrible swipe across the line from Rishabh Pant to a length delivery from Josh Tongue.

    He's relieved to see it bounce over the stumps and India even sneak a bye as the bobbling ball gets away from Jamie Smith.

    4hr flight ahead, please can we have bowled India out when I land please.

    It's sedate progress for India so far after lunch. It's just little runs here and there.

  16. Ind 168-3

    Lead by 174

    Big turn for Shoaib Bashir as he bowls from round the wicket to the left-handed Rishabh Pant.

    That one clips the edge of the foot mark and Pant leaves it well alone.

    Just a pair of singles from the over.

    Re Cones, "drive with care"

    A constructive dismissal?

    A cone-tingency plan?

    Average turn by English spinners on Day 4 in England (since 2006)

    • 4.2° - Moeen Ali
    • 3.8° - Joe Root
    • 3.6° - Jack Leach

  19. Ind 166-3

    Lead by 172

    A first slip does go in after those two boundaries but it feels like the horse has already bolted.

    A single ends the over and keeps Rishabh Pant on strike.

    How will he approach it against the off-spin of Shoaib Bashir?

  20. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    There is a bit of science, in sometimes what looks like a bit of madness.
