  1. Ind 351-9

    Lead by 357

    Two solid blocks from Prasidh Krishna so on we go.

    If a wicket falls now, England will have a little under 45 minutes to bat this evening.

    It's unclear what India's thinking is here. The players in the dressing room all have their whites on, ready to go but, at the same time, Ravindra Jadeja isn't really going into all-out attack mode to try and score a few quick runs.

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

    If India get bowled out, it will favour them more than England. 357 will be hard to chase.

    I think India missed a trick here. After tea they should've just dropped and ran or hit it big with them bowling against England tonight in mind. I just don't think they've played with that much intent this evening.

  3. Ind 351-9

    Lead by 357

    Thanks, Mike. This is all set up for a very exciting finale, isn't it?

    After turning down singles in the first half of the over, Ravindra Jadeja takes one to deep third fourth ball.

    Josh Tongue will have two balls at Prasidh Krishna.

    BBC Sport journalist

    It's a lovely sunny evening at Headingley, I'm going to hand you over to Sam Drury for the what should be a fascinating final hour or so.

  5. Ind 350-9

    Lead by 356

    Ravindra Jadeja takes a single off the fourth ball of Chris Woakes' over, taking India to 350 and leaving Prasidh Krishna two deliveries to survive.

    The first of those flies just past the edge of the tail-ender's bat.

    Totally agree with Luke 17:03. This has been a fantastic match, centuries, a five-fer, dropped catches, the lot. Big ask, but if England go all out it could be an all-time classic. India must dread leaving a chase that’s too low for the potential this England team have to run down a score

    Josh Tongue single handedly solving England's 'can't remove the tail' problem.

    John, Bath

    England will really fancy this.

    Will, Crete

    Have England finally found someone who can bowl at the tail?

  9. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman

    In Josh Tongue's last Test, which was against Australia, he had five wickets, all of whom were top-order batters.

  10. Ind 349-9

    Triple wicket-maiden for Josh Tongue as Prasidh Krishna blocks out the last two balls of the over.

    The physio immediately has to come out for Krishna, who clipped Tongue's final delivery into an unprotected part of his leg.

    That's not a great shot when you've got Ravindra Jadeja at the other end. This is great for the game but India would like at least 20 or 30 more on the board.

  12. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Josh Tongue has splattered the stumps. India are falling away here. England are going to be batting before you know it.

    WICKET

    Bumrah b Tongue 0 (Ind 349-9)

    But he takes a wicket with his next delivery!

    A third wicket in the over for Josh Tongue, bowling Jasprit Bumrah as the tailender takes an ugly swipe towards the leg side.

    A poor shot in any circumstances.

  14. Ind 349-8

    Blocks out the hat-trick ball!

    A yorker from Josh Tongue and Jasprit Bumrah jams his bat down to fend it into the leg side.

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

    Good bouncer from Josh Tongue, nice simple one for Jamie Smith. He's a really awkward bowler to go against, he's tall, he's quick, it's not easy to face that on your first ball.

  16. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Josh Tongue has got another! Will he clean up?

    WICKET

    Siraj c Smith b Tongue 0 (Ind 349-8)

    Back-to-back wickets - Josh Tongue is on a hat-trick!

    A short ball from the England seamer and Mohammed Siraj can only cuff it down the leg side, where a diving Jamie Smith collects.

    Siraj walks off shaking his hand, while Jasprit Bumrah comes out to face the hat-trick ball.

  18. How's stat?!

    That was Joe Root's 210th catch, which ties him with Rahul Dravid for the most Test catches by a non-wicketkeeper.

  19. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    A bit of bounce from Josh Tongue, good length but good catch from Joe Root.

    Will Josh Tongue clean up again?

    WICKET

    Thakur c Root b Tongue 4 (Ind 349-7)

    Josh Tongue has another wicket in the tail!

    Shardul Thakur slashes at a full delivery from the England seamer and sends a thick edge to Joe Root at first slip.

    The players will take drinks now.
