Summary

  1. Ind 496-6published at 125 overs

    Harry Brook's medium pace is no match for Shubman Gill.

    After two sighters, he cuts him for four with a small smile. The next ball is hammered down the ground for four. As is the fifth ball of the over.

    12 from it. Oops.

    Harry Brook bowls off the wrong foot, doesn't he? Let's give him time.

    The crowd are excited by Harry Brook's arrival into the attack.

    He was first change here vs Steve Smith two years ago in the Ashes.

    What's this?!?

    Harry Brook is preparing to bowl. This could be fun.

  5. Ind 484-6published at 124 overs

    Ben Stokes finally makes a bowling change, with Brydon Carse replacing Josh Tongue.

    The jumper-clad Washington Sundar narrowly avoids playing onto his stumps. Carse frowns.

    India add two singles to their total.

    Shubman Gill is only the seventh Test captain to score a double century in England.

  7. Ind 482-6published at 123 overs

    Shubman Gill's timing is exquisite.

    Back-to-back fours to finish the 123rd over, including a sumptuous reverse sweep.

    India are racing towards 500.

    Since he has passed 100, Shubman Gill’s increased intent and scoring rate has been noticeable, and whilst his false shot percentage has increased in his second hundred runs, it is still remarkably low.

    • 0-100 runs: 199 balls, 24% attacking shots, 3.5% false shots
    • 101-200 runs: 112 balls, 30% attacking shots, 8% false shots
  9. Ind 472-6published at 122 overs

    Shubman Gill's single is the only run off the over as Josh Tongue tests out his variations on Washington Sundar. Shorter, wider, slower - dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.

    Has Gill really given England a sniff during his innings?

    Off comes Shubman Gill's helmet and his bat is raised.

    Under pressure after that defeat at Headingley, he's come in after Ben Stokes made the decision for him to bat and he's made a double century.

    The prince of Indian cricket takes a bow.

  11. 200 runs

    200 for Shubman Gillpublished at 121.1 overs

    Shubman Gill pulls Josh Tongue fine, runs a single, rips off his helmet and delivers his trademark bow.

    200 for the India captain from 311 balls. He's been excellent.

    Maiden for Shoaib Bashir as Washington Sundar blocks out the over.

    It's 17 balls since Shubman Gill has been on strike.

    Will today’s innings teach Stokes that he can’t keep getting away with putting sides in on flat tracks with this attack? We can name a dozen potential England seamers, but take out Archer due to ongoing injuries and do we have a single genuine Test class bowler?

    Washington Sundar knows it's a short ball and you see this in the IPL, with the player flicking it over fine leg. That's gone halfway up the stand.

  15. Ind 471-6published at 120 overs

    Washington Sundar flicks the ball off his hip and a sprawling Shoaib Bashir can't stop it from finding the rope. Josh Tongue and Ben Stokes grimace.

    Next ball, he heaves a short ball deep into the stands for six. One presumes there were more grimaces from the England camp.

    A bit of gusto from Washington. Shubman Gill is still on 199 as his partner hogs the strike.

    With a flicked four and a single to retain the strike, Washington Sundar has moved into double figures.

    Shubman Gill, meanwhile, has 199.

    India's run-rate is hovering around 3.8.

    India know that if England get one it could all happen quite quickly because of how the tail fell at Headingley.

  18. Ind 454-6published at 118 overs

    An expensive over from Josh Tongue as Shubman Gill dispatches him for 11 runs, including two fours, to move to 198.

    In an attempt to save the second boundary, Joe Root and Zak Crawley, sliding towards each other, collided on the rope. Both players are ok.

    450 up for India.

    A very part-time bowler Ian Bell got Pakistan legend Mohammad Yousuf out c&b as his only Test wicket.

    Steve, Vale of Glamorgan

    An excellent selection Steve.

    Briefly back to Dane Vilas - I'd completely forgotten that he played Allan Donald in the film Hansie...

  20. Ind 443-6published at 117 overs

    Shubman Gill takes a single off the penultimate ball to keep the strike.

    How long before Ben Stokes makes a change to the bowling attack?
