    India batting strangely in my opinion. No intent to get this win knowing that there is a lot of rain forecasted tomorrow.

    Shoaib Bashir is getting a little bit more turn out there today.

  5. Ind 303-4published at 78 overs

    There have been five centuries in this game from India, it's the sixth time in Test history that a team has done so. It's the second time that a team has done so in England, the other being by England in 2007 against West Indies at Lord's.

  7. Ind 301-4published at 77 overs

    Stokes also resumes at the other end, and KL Rahul brings up India's 300 from his second delivery, pushing into the covers.

    Karun Nair then gets his first run of the session, sending the final ball of the over into the leg side to retain the strike.

    What Shoaib Bashir has done very well is vary his paces.

    Karun Nair has waited a long time to get this opportunity. He'll make the most of this.

  10. Ind 299-4published at 76 overs

    One run from the first over after tea, with KL Rahul taking a single from the opening delivery.

    Shoaib Bashir strikes Karun Nair on the pads and goes up with a big appeal, but that's obviously outside the line and England don't review.

    There may be tricky phase coming up with the new ball.

    WinViz currently gives England a 15% chance of victory.

    But... he did score quite a few runs before he got out.

    He's some of the best shots from his 118 from 140 balls.

    Let's grasp at a few of our remaining straws, shall we?

    Rishabh Pant won't be re-emerging from the pavilion, he was out shortly before tea.

    Here's how he was finally out.

    Thanks Sam.

    I had a wicket in the first full over of my first stint - I'd take that again after tea.

    On that cheery note, Mark, it's time for me hand over to Mike Peter.

    He's been rather disparaging about my failure to deliver wickets for England in that afternoon session so, with that kind of talk, I'm fully expecting a flurry of wickets immediately after tea.

    Today started with such promise, now it’s just the same old English despair.

  18. Tea - Ind 298-4published at 75 overs

    Lead by 304

    That's tea. A session that belongs to India and Rishabh Pant.

    The left-hander's magnificent century - his second of the match - has put the tourists in a very strong position in this first Test.

    They lead England by 304 with four sessions left in the match. How best to turn that advantage into a Test victory is what they will be discussing during the break.

  19. Ind 297-4published at 74 overs

    Lead by 303

    Not today he won't, Gavin.

    Last ball of Shoaib Bashir's over and Karun Nair confidently pulls out the reverse paddle-sweep.

    Four runs to get off the pair. Time for one more over before tea.

    A 'Karun Nair' would be top cockney rhyming slang if India's number six does bag a pair today
