Summary

    CricViz analyst

    We’ve had more swing this session than in any other of the match so far.

    India have found 1.1° of swing in with their new ball, nearly double what England found in the first hour with either of theirs previously.

  2. Eng 55-3published at 13 overs

    Now this was a little bit daft, Harry.

    A delivery angled into Brook by Akash Deep to finish the over and he opens the face, attempting to guide it, despite there being three slips in place.

    Thankfully, he misses.

    Whether they're 50-3 or 500-3, Harry Brook doesn't mind. He will stand tall and smoke it through the off side.

    Even if Harry Brook makes 60 doing this it does nothing for England. England at this point in the game need to bat for as long as possible. Brook going death or glory does nothing for our chances to win the game or series.

    Harry Brook with some more conventional strokeplay, elegantly flicking Akash Deep square for four.

    Hopefully that orthodoxy more to people's tastes.

    It's a nice session for India here. They know they can relax and get a decent bowling spell.

    Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep have bowled six overs apiece already. There's time to apply pressure to the batters.

  7. Eng 50-3published at 12 overs

    The way England play these days, Glen.

    Harry Brook attempts to back away to the final ball of Mohammed Siraj's over and slap him through the covers but is unable to connect.

    I said it in the last Test, and I'll say it again... what on earth is Harry Brook doing?

    Harry Brook clears his front leg and goes over where mid-off would be. That is just white ball T20 cricket.

    Eng 50-3published at 11.3 overs

    Harry Brook continues to think attack here.

    He dances down the pitch to Mohammed Siraj and goes inside out to launch him over the boundary rope wide of long-off.

    Some shot, given the circumstances.

    Argh I see it now; Bumrah was the problem.

  12. Eng 43-3published at 11 overs

    Akash Deep surrenders four leg-byes in the first over after drinks, while Joe Root and Harry Brook run well between the wickets to turn over the strike.

    In case you missed them, here's the three wickets to fall so far in in England's innings. India have bowled well, but there's some tired shots in there as well.

    Mohammed Siraj and Harry Brook are two big characters within their teams and both will want to win this battle; emphasised by Brook's skittish start to his innings. This is only the second Test innings they have locked horns, with Siraj never before getting the Yorkshireman out and Brook scoring 43 at more than a run a ball against the India pacer. Who will blink first...

    It's almost like England are going on the counter-attack and trying to go back at the bowler but at this moment it feels like Harry Brook could get out any minute.

    An engrossing hour of cricket, albeit not what England fans were hoping for.

    I think the lack of timing on that shot shows where Harry Brook is at in the middle It's just trickled to the boundary.

  17. Eng 33-3published at 10 overs

    A bit of a counter-attack from Harry Brook who backs away to leg a touch and biffs Mohammed Siraj's third ball through mid-off for four. It was not the cleanest of strikes but it brings Brook his first boundary.

    Looks like my wish for Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett to score freely has gone down the pan so quickly. Hopefully Joe Root and Harry Brook can last the evening session and come back tomorrow and put on a partnership like they did against Pakistan during the winter. An ever hopeful.

    There was a lot of talk of England getting umpire's calls not go their way yesterday and now India have one. It's the correct decision.

  20. Brook survivespublished at 9.1 overs

    Closer than it looked.

    Angled in from Mohammed Siraj, Harry Brook was caught deep in the crease but with the ball deemed to have been clipping the bail of leg stump the original decision of not out stands.
