The pressure is on India to get wickets without Jasprit Bumrah. If England bat 140-150 overs they will be in front, with very little time to win the game for India. This pitch is doing nothing.

Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope race off.
10 minutes to get yourself ready and then off you go.
Good luck, lads.

Jamie Smith whips off the bails and India's innings is finally over.
Siraj st Smith b Bashir 8 (Ind 587 all out)
Mohammed Siraj can resist no longer.
He dances down the pitch to Shoaib Bashir and throws the kitchen sink at the final ball of the England off-spinner's over but cannot make contact.
Quick as you like, Jamie Smith gathers the ball and whips the bails off. Siraj attempts to get his bat back behind the line but it's a forlorn cause.
Siraj is stumped by Smith as India are bowled out for 587

Shame there’s not a cricketer with the initials LBW.
James in Ealing
That's the spirit, Liam.
More floaty stuff from Shoaib Bashir, hanging it above the eyeline, but Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna show remarkable powers of resistance.
Perhaps India psychologically fancy passing 600.

Image source, ReutersEngland could have 600 by close tomorrow on this deck. They could also get bowled out, follow on, and still win. What a time to be an England fan!
Liam in Bristol
Josh Tongue finds the shoulder of Prasidh Krishna's bat with a delivery which climbs into the India batter but the ball drops short of the fielder at point.
India's players watching from the balcony looking very relaxed.
England tick round to the 150th over of the game.

Re Matt, Bristol, 16:23, if there was a cricketer called Harry Lime, he could be caught at third man!
Anon
There was a bloke called John Gully who played first-class cricket in NZ in 82/83.
Steve from Malaga
Shoaib Bashir giving the ball plenty of air, dangling the carrot to Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna. No real bites in that over, though.
Mohammed Siraj picks up a single off the final ball of Josh Tongue's over. On we go.

Re: Matt 16:23. Wasn't there an A. Fielder (Arthur perhaps?).
Tony in Herne Hill
Perhaps Ben Duckett could be caught at short leg?
Jon
I'm certain Brian Close was caught close to the wicket many times
Chris in Newfoundland
Good question, by the way, Matt.
Australia's Matthew Short caught at short leg, perhaps? Welcome any other suggestions.
Deep is caught by Duckett off the bowling of Bashir
This feels like a premeditated ploy from India's for the last wicket.
Rather than playing with wanton abandon there's an emphasis on blocking and waiting for a hittable delivery - Mohammed Siraj duly stays patient before drilling Shoaib Bashir's penultimate delivery down the ground for four.

With Deep caught in the deep, are there many other batters who have been caught in a position they share a name with? Anyone ever take a spectacular catch at silly mid-off to dismiss S.M. Off for example?
Matt in Bristol
Eke, by 'eck.
Prasidh Krishna digs out a 90mph yorker from Josh Tongue off the penultimate ball of the over which almost spins back on to this stumps.
Maiden from Tongue.
Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
It feels as though the game might keep moving forward at a quicker pace now. It's felt rather sedate until now.
The pitch looks dry but the score India have made have puts them in a great position in this game.
Prasidh Krishna joins Mohammed Siraj at the crease. Will India's final pair look to eke out runs, or play some shots?
Tail-end polisher Josh Tongue continues.

That’s the best thing that could happen to India. Get England in and try to get a few wickets.

If England can get this tail wrapped up pressure is on India to get wickets without Bumrah - If England bat 140-150 overs they will be in front, with very little time to win the game for India - this pitch is doing nothing
