    I'd love to know what the conversation is out there. You've got a traditionalist at one end and an extraordinary player at the other.

    KL Rahul is playing more orthodox Test cricket out there.

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

    I think the pitch has played quicker this morning than it has in the other days. It's going through to the keeper at waist height every time.

    This is the best I've seen Chris Woakes. Today he's beaten the outside edge of KL Rahul quite a few times.

  5. Ind 112-3

    Lead by 118

    For the third time this morning, KL Rahul faces a maiden but this time to Chris Woakes.

    Somehow I feel like Rishabh Pant isn't going to play out a scoreless over to Brydon Carse.

    Here goes...

    You just can't keep your eyes off Rishabh Pant, he's probably thinking to play it with the wind.

    When KL Rahul is batting it's a different conversation to when Rishabh Pant is batting, you can relax a little bit.

  7. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Well, the excitement continues.

  8. Not out

    Ind 112-3

    Big inside edge as he fell over.

    Pant survives, he's on 15 from 23 balls.

  9. England review

    Well.

    Rishabh Pant goes for this game's signature shot of the roly-poly ramp and Carse's ball thumps into his back leg.

    Ben Stokes is going to take a look.

  10. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Again it was a cross batted hike, top edged it. Rishabh Pant is playing very dangerously.

  11. Ind 112-3

    Lands... safe.

    Rishabh Pant goes for another cross-batted shot, top-edges and balloons the ball up over the keeper and towards the boundary.

    The ball beats the two chasing fielders and crosses the ropes for four.

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

    This is the best combination of bowlers that I've seen throughout the whole game. They've come out with positivity, you can see it out there.

    It's the kind of pitch now where you've just got to hit it at a decent length and it will nip back.

  13. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The game is on edge right now. If India lose two wickets, England can run away with it, but if KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant can build up a partnership, then India will have a real chance.

    With a bowling average of seven, surely Sir Alastair Cook is up there?

    Re Robin's comment: No-one who understands cricket, would ever overlook the great Sir Richard. More legend than a great - the perfect action and runs too.

    Jeff, Carlisle

    Re: Jim, Cornwall. Anderson in the same bracket as Curtley and Glenn is a very bad take.

    Sam, Birmingham

  15. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The ball that got Shubman Gill out nipped back a little bit. The ball is bouncing a little bit more and moving just enough, it's better conditions than the first few days where you had no margin of error.

  16. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That was a tennis forehand. Rishabh Pant, there's never a shortage of entertainment when he's on the crease. You might see something terrible but you could see something brilliant.

  17. Ind 107-3

    Smashed.

    Rishabh Pant advances down the pitch and cracks Chris Woakes down the ground for four.

    The one scoring shot of the over, with Pant elaborately leaving the final ball with a big stride.

    India have scored 17 runs from 8.1 overs this morning, with two boundaries - both Pant's.

  18. Conspiracy, Daniel!

    Let's take another look...

    I am not convinced that the first wicket of the day actually hit the stumps. It appeared to me that the ball hit the ground to the left of the base of off stump rather than the stump itself.

    Daniel, Northwich.

  20. How's stat?!

    Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Brydon Carse has hit a good line and length with 50% of his deliveries this morning, his highest rate for any of his spells in this Test match.
