  1. Ind 526-6

    Boom. Shubman Gill dances down and clobbers Shoaib Bashir into the stands.

    He's moved into the 240s.

    Gill hits Bashir for another six

  2. Ind 518-6

    The scoreboard keeps ticking. Three more for Washington Sundar.

    Can England grab a wicket late in the session as they did just before lunch? Ravindra Jadeja's exit came out of nowhere.

    Alice (14:58), if this carries on you could be calling your first child Shubman Washington…

  4. Ind 515-6

    Another five added to India's total.

  5. Shoaib Bashir is back to bowl the 130th over, replacing Brydon Carse.

    India will declare at tea, and then scuttle a few tired England wickets.

  7. Ind 510-6

    Another Harry Brook over. His run-up yo-yoes from short to long but it seems to be working. After being struck for three fours in his first over, his next two have brought just five runs.

    During a brief pause in proceedings, Shubman Gill removes his helmet. The grin on his face is growing with every passing over.

    When Gill was on 158, I agreed with my partner to naming our first child Shubman if he got to 300 runs. Getting nervous…

    From Alice, sitting in The Hollies

    Alice, I am so excited to see how this pans out.

  9. Ind 508-6

    Brydon Carse sends down another short ball. Shubman Gill isn't interested but it bounces in front of wicketkeeper Jamie Smith and away for four byes.

    That just about sums up England's afternoon.

    Shubman Gill is playing around with the field. He knows where the gaps are. Brydon Carse is not at his best today.

  11. 500 for India

    Shubman Gill effortlessly swats Brydon Carse for four. 500 up for India.

    If India wants to avoid the draw, when should they declare? It's a road and we love a chase so what number of runs would they consider 'safe'?

    Mark, Leicester

    Hello Mark. I've surveyed the room.

    Tim, whose words you all enjoyed this morning, and boss Higgy say India should keep out England out there as long as possible. No declaration today.

    Huzzy and I wouldn't even think about declaring until 650.

  13. Ind 499-6

    Just the three runs from Harry Brook's second over. That was a bit anti-climactic.

  14. Sorry Aggers... we will get a second Harry Brook over.

    Shubman Gill is on strike.

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

    The way Shubman Gill quietly dismantled Harry Brook there, I'm not sure we're going to see him again.

  16. While the players take a breather, here are the highlights from Shubman Gill's innings so far.

    He's not out on 222 from 323 balls. Washington Sundar, meanwhile, has 23 (72).

    We've not had anything official but it sounds like Brydon Carse is struggling with those toes which he had severe cuts and blisters on during the winter.

  18. Drinks - Ind 496-6

    A maiden from Brydon Carse before drinks are brought out.

    He's targeting Washington Sundar with short balls. I bet he wishes he'd been on strike for Harry Brook's over instead.

    Gill could be batting for 5 days at this rate. Toothless from England.

    As a batter when you're on a double century and Harry Brook comes on to bowl, you shouldn't get out to him and you should get a couple every over.
