    Ravindra Jadeja has been involved in nine Test run-outs, eight of which have resulted in his team-mate's dismissal.

  2. Ind 349-6

    A maiden for Chris Woakes, bowling to Jadeja.

    The India batter hurries down the track to opening delivery after pushing into the covers, but is sent back by his batting partner.

    Regardless of the final score, whoever wins etc. This match is a great advert for five-day Test cricket. Two teams, going at it, players playing their game and adapting it to the conditions and context. Long live Test cricket. There's nothing I'd rather be watching instead of working.

    Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur are both natural stroke players. Any time there's a chance to take a swing at it, they will.

  5. Ind 349-6

    Josh Tongue replaces Brydon Carse - he cleaned up the tail in the first innings, when India lost 7-41.

    Jadeja lashes his third ball for four though long-off.

    England have dropped some gilt-edged chances, but you can’t help to feel that once Pant got out then India have dropped momentum and it’s allowed England back in this game!

    I haven't seen a change of pace from India this innings that looks like they would declare but it might happen naturally anyway.

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

    You can just see that India are chipping away, sometimes in Test cricket you don't see the fight. Rishabh Pant just read what was happening and played his shots. KL Rahul really put on a masterclass.

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    There's been some positive running from India.

  10. Ind 344-6

    Lead by 350

    Shardul Thakur leaves Chris Woakes' first delivery, seeing the ball whistle just past his stumps.

    The all-rounder nearly loses his wicket again later in the over as Jadeja hurries through a single to mid-wicket and Shoaib Bashir runs round and shies at the stumps - just a tad wide, but he only had one stump to aim at.

    A further Jadeja single into the leg side takes India's lead to 350.

    So much negativity from England fans? It's two great red ball teams, posting pretty equal scores! The pitch isn't going to change that much overnight, and there is no shame in a draw against this India side. We could get bowled out for 200 and then I will allow TMS to mock me. But I think it's a draw.

    India have been fantastic here today. Hung in there in the morning and have accelerated a bit in the afternoon. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant really put in a shift.

    I don't think it's a bad thing if India get bowled out. They can make use of Jasprit Bumrah.

  13. Ind 340-6

    Shardul Thakur is the new batter, coming out to join Ravindra Jadeja, who's on one.

    The pair work four singles off Brydon Carse's over, while the England seamer's no ball adds to India's total.

  14. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Chester-le-Street

    Not much to get excited about in Jofra Archer's third and probably final spell of the day up in Chester-le-Street. There was an edge short of the keeper but Archer looked a little down on pace as he bowled four overs for nine runs and no wickets.

    His figures for the day sit at 14 overs 1-28. He's currently fielding with his jumper tied around his waist and that might be that until tomorrow.

    Durham are 179-4 on a slow pitch.

  15. KL Rahul walked off the field with 137 - that's 79 more runs than if Harry Brook had held onto this chance.

    But as I've said before, had India held their catches then England's total would have been considerably lower.

  16. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Prakash said earlier that Karun Nair didn't look very committed to his shots and that was his downfall there, just a little poke.

    If England can keep this up, they'll have an hour out there with the bat.

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    Karun Nair is standing there as if he can't believe it. That was all very anti-climactic, he's hit it straight back at Chris Woakes.

    WICKET

    Nair c & b Woakes 20 (Ind 335-6)

    And now Karun Nair goes!

    The middle-order batter drives the last delivery of the over straight back at Chris Woakes and the England seamer takes the catch with relative ease.

    Nair can't believe it, he stares incredulously at the pitch.
