Crawley, Duckett & Root fall cheaply after England set improbable 608 - report
Pant, dropped on 10 by Crawley, hits entertaining 65

Second Test, day four, Edgbaston, England lead series 1-0
Boundaries, flying bats and dropped catches - Pant's 'box office' innings
Another wee tickle down to fine leg, this time from Joe Root who works Mohammed Siraj off his pads through fine leg.
Although he has the wicket of Zak Crawley, Siraj has yet to really get the bit between his teeth so far.

Crawley dismissed for a duck as he is caught by Sudharsan
Out of the 102 innings Zak Crawley has played, he has recorded 42 single-digit scores - the most for a batter since his debut in Test cricket, including 10 ducks.

Ollie Pope when he comes out and plays like this is so edgy and so nervy. He needs to realize that Akash Deep is coming in wide of the crease and wants him to play across the line which is what he has done. He just needs to stay up right and play as straight as he can.
Akash Deep arrows his third ball in to Ollie Pope's toes and the England batter gets away with one. Pope attempts to work the ball into the on side and an edge flies down between gully and point for four.
Pope appears to be overbalancing when he plays that shot. A bit of a technical issue he needs to iron out.
Pope picks up another boundary with a leg glance for four off the final delivery of the over.

Can India ask for the extra half hour if England lose a few more?

England like to be trailblazers. Can we just declare and get this over with?

Ollie Pope is circumspect. Watchful. He's digging in here.
England are going to need some guts if they are to get themselves out of this one.
Those two wickets have shifted the dial on WinViz...

The Hollies is singing "if you still believe stand up" again.
Not as many are doing so as before Ben Duckett's dismissal.

On the basis Ollie Pope is, in effect, playing as an opener, why not put him up the order and bring Jacob Bethell into number three. Give Zak Crawley a rest to go back to his county and get some runs under his belt.

Can Bethell open?

I don't like it when Joe Root looks angry. He's not an angry type, he's not a Virat Kohli-type player. I think he's better when he's calm and assured.
Joe Root joins Ollie Pope out in the middle. The ball is only five overs old.
England's hopes of drawing this match could largely rest of Root's shoulders.

Are we allowed to say that England have got to stop obsessing about chasing yet? Especially with this woeful bowling attack? Or has the Bazball police still banned any slight negativity?

Can't see England making it to tea tomorrow I'm afraid.

Image source, Getty ImagesAkash Deep is a quality player, we've been talking about Jasprit Bumrah at the start of the Test but we should have been talking about him. Four wickets in the first innings and now the key wicket of Ben Duckett.
Duckett b Akash Deep 25 (Eng 30-2)
Deep dismisses Duckett for 25 as England fall to 30-2
Bang, bang. Just what India wanted with this new ball.
Ben Duckett had made a confident start but England have both openers back in the hutch and are teetering after Akash Deep, round the wicket, delivers a stump-shattering delivery.
Deep nips the ball on to the left-hander's defensive prod and Duckett inside edges it on to the top of middle.
This could get ugly pretty quickly for England.
CricViz supply us with a captaincy grid which suggests which bowler a captain should match up with each batter. Green indicates the perfect match, red is one to avoid. Akash Deep is green for both England openers. He's got one, can he get the other before the close?

Last week was the best I had seen Zak Crawley align a right-arm over bowler. This week and his guard has been off stump and his feet have been an inch outside off stump. So why has he changed his stance?
Mohammed Siraj gives Nitish Kumar Reddy a glare after Ben Duckett opens the face and guides the penultimate ball of the over through the cordon for four. Siraj chunters to himself at the end of the over.

Someone like Ben Duckett is such a good player, it is important that he plays his normal game.
Mohammed Siraj is bounding in with a thirst for the edge of Ben Duckett's bat.
However, the England left-handed opener uppishly slaps a wide one for four through point.

When you are a bowler who knows that they are only going to bowl six overs today and get some rest over night then they will charge in every time.
Ollie Pope managed to get off a king pair in the previous over and picks up two more with a cljp off his toes from the final ball of Akash Deep's second over.
