  1. Ind 153-3

    Lead by 159

    Will India be more aggressive after lunch?

    Based on Rishabh Pant's shot first ball, I'd say so!

    There's definitely some more uneven bounce out there. I think England will be disappointed that they couldn't take another wicket before lunch.

  3. An inconvenience of traffic cones? A tailback?

    Anyway, the players are making their way back out to the middle at Headingley and the start of the afternoon session is mere moments away.

    Wickets are the order of the day for England with India's lead currently at 159.

  5. KL Rahul continued to bat with great composure throughout the morning, bringing up his half-century, but he also had a life when Harry Brook dropped a sharp chance at gully off Josh Tongue.

    The India opener will hope to really punish that error this afternoon...

    England's bowling has been the thing to talk about this morning. They've been disciplined, played good lengths and made it move a little bit.

  7. England continued to bowl well but without reward.

    They came close on a few occasions - or certainly felt like a wicket was close - as Rishabh Pant made a frenetic start to his innings.

    Some unusual shots and without the same level of execution as we have sometimes seen from him. But he survived and calmed down as the session progressed.

  8. Back to the action that we saw on the fourth morning at Headingley and England made a great start.

    Brydon Carse produced a very good spell in which he got Shubman Gill to drag on with a ball that nipped back.

    The unusualness of a bowler makes it harder.

    As a batter, I have a fair few trigger movements, and the first time you face him, it's when do you start your movements - so you don't get any rhythm for him.

    Bumrah - and Malinga is in the same class - you're struggling for clues to pick up. There are no clues from his run-up.

    Always hard to compare generations but I think in today’s game where pitches are flatter than ever, fast outfields, small boundaries, big bats, bowling analysis, not to mention not being able to use spit to shine, Bumrah doing what he is in all formats of the game is amazing. Also the excitement he brings is far more than a couple of 6s flying into the stands, maybe cricket needs a rethink into balancing the game a bit more?

    Bumrah is a good and very unique bowler, but what about Curtly Ambrose? 405 wickets at an average of 20.99 is phenomenal. Accuracy, consistency, pace, movement and bounce. Terrifying.

    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The headline was that he's the most complete fast bowler. You cannot compare eras, its almost impossible. Malcolm Marshall and Curtly Ambrose would have found a way to survive in modern cricket.

    But it's across those three formats and all the facets that make Bumrah what he is.

    I do not see a weakness.

    During lunch, TMS are discussing Jasprit Bumrah - listen on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds - after former England quick Steven Finn wrote a column last night calling him the "most complete fast bowler ever".

    How do you feel about that? Steven makes a compelling argument - take a read.

    We've been getting your opinions on that all morning so keep them coming, along with your alternative shouts.

    The India seamer took 5-83 in England's first innings, including the final wicket of Josh Tongue.

  13. WinViz has India as clear favourites at this stage, followed by England and then the draw.

    If the forecast for tomorrow is to believed, I think the draw might end up being far more likely than the 14% it's at right now.

    WinViz gives England 32% chance of victory, India 54% and the draw 14%CricViz

  14. Thanks, Mike.

    Yep, India scored just 63 runs in the session but should they go on to win this Test, they might see it as one of the most important of the match.

    England started very well with Brydon Carse, who removed Shubman Gill, particularly impressive and Chris Woakes bowling nicely, too.

    As the ball has got that bit older and softer, there has been less lateral movement but the hosts have remained disciplined.

    India on top but a couple of quick wickets after lunch and that might soon change...

  15. Mike Peter
    BBC Sport journalist

    India didn't score swiftly, but the fact they've only lost one wicket will please them immensely, especially with England's bowlers looking threatening in the first hour.

    They lead by 159, if this pair can steadily take them to around 250 then they'll be firm favourites.

    England will be rueing Harry Brook dropping KL Rahul on 58 - the India opener is now on 72, while Risbabh Pant has 31.

    Still, a couple of wickets after lunch and it's all to play for.

    To see how it plays out, here's Sam Drury.

    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    KL Rahul has played very calmy and just eased the pressure down. He's gone about his business nicely and just ticked up the runs.

  17. Lunch - Ind 153-3

    Lead by 159

    Rishabh Pant sends Bashir's third ball out to third for two, bringing up India's 150.

    Three singles follow and that's lunch.

    India have scored 63 runs this morning and lost one wicket, that of Shubman Gill.

  18. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    In more recent years, Indian batters haven't coped well against spin bowlers.

    We haven't seen the ball turn sharply yet but Shoaib Bashir has been bowling some good lengths, just tempting the batters.

  19. Ind 148-3

    Maiden over for Ben Stokes, bowling to KL Rahul.

    The India batter edges Stokes' penultimate delivery onto a part of the body where one might not wish to land a cricket ball, and he drops to the ground again briefly at the end of the over.

    We'll have six balls from Shoaib Bashir before lunch.

  20. How's stat?!
