    There was a gap, Stokes is left with his hand on his hips.

  2. Ind 165-3published at 50.2 overs

    Lead by 171

    Big drive from Rishabh Pant, edged... straight through a vacant first slip region at a catchable height. Four.

    Frustration for Josh Tongue and that's added to when Pant advances and slaps the next ball through cover for another boundary.

    Traffic cones in slip cordon = a lay-bye

  4. Ind 157-3published at 50 overs

    Lead by 163

    Tossed up by Shoaib Bashir and KL Rahul drives nicely through the covers for the first runs of the afternoon.

    Four of them.

    That boundary is surrounded by dot balls as Bashir continues to plug away with little assistance from the surface, certainly when bowling to the right-handers.

    Ben Stokes will be delighted with the way England have bowled so far.

  6. Ind 153-3published at 49 overs

    Lead by 159

    Maiden over to start the session from Josh Tongue. Good set from the England seamer.

    Rishabh Pant did pull back a little after that loose shot first ball.

    Shoaib Bashir will continue from the other end.

    India came out and batted with a great amount of discipline, it wasn't flamboyant, but it was sensible.

    And for England it was the best we have seen of Chris Woakes.

    Lead by 159

    Will India be more aggressive after lunch?

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

    Width on offer from Josh Tongue and the left-hander throws his bat at it but can't make contact.

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

    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.

    What do you call a group of traffic cones fielding in the slips?

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Jay, Bucks

    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.

    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.

    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.
