Re cricket hills @ 13:46. Surely the Lord’s slope is the most famous hill of all…

I'm just seeing a few hands on hips, just wondering what more they need to do. Heads are dropping a little bit for England, they need a breakthrough.

Test Match Special statistician
Rishabh Pant has now scored more runs than any wicketkeeper in a series against England.

Re Ant @ 13:43: Waiting for confirmation from Dec.

A bizarre moment when Jofra Archer bowls a full toss and Rishabh Pant cloths it straight in the air but too straight for either mid-off or mid-on.
He hobbles a single.
Stephan Shemilt
BBC Sport chief cricket reporter at Old Trafford
England have been spooked by the idea of what a one-legged Pant could do, rather than what he has done. Keep the field up. Let him try to play shots. It's much harder on one leg. He doesn't look too troubled hobbling singles at the moment.

Gallagher Hill, Henman Hill, Murray Mount etc. Any famous cricketing hills?
Rishabh Pant hobbles a leg bye after he's hit on the heel by Ben Stokes. A couple of balls later and Washington Sundar edges a drive over the head of third slip much to the England skipper's frustration.

Currently 10 miles north of Old Trafford (near the now famous Gallagher Hill), which is the direction the weather is coming from. The sun is well and truly out and it's heading your way!

Ben Stokes fires one down the leg side and Rishabh Pant has had a one-handed swish.
Jamie Smith dives but is unable to prevent four byes.

England have had no luck with the ball - you are not getting to get any closer than that.
India's Washington deemed not out
The ball-tracking technology shows it was crashing into the stumps...but the impact on the pad of Washington Sundar is deemed umpires call so no dice for England.
Jofra Archer throws his hands up in frustration.
England retain the review.
No bat involved.
Prakash Wakankar
BBC Test Match Special commentator
If it's missing, it's not by much.
Jofra Archer angles one into Washington Sundar from round the wicket and the ball straightens. It's followed by a passionate appeal. However, Ben Stokes declines to send it upstairs.
Next ball Washington is hit on the back leg by a delivery from Archer. This time England do review.

Image source, Getty ImagesBen Stokes just had a word with Rishabh Pant - he was probably saying: "Are you still here? I thought we'd done for you."
Washington Sundar nudges a single off the final ball of the over from Ben Stokes to keep the strike. He has ground his way to 21 off 78 balls

Sundar has dropped anchor, he's done very well.
Washington Sundar content to defend and leave the first three deliveries from Ben Stokes after lunch as he settles back in.
Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on Test Match Special
It just keeps getting better and better this series. We all thought Rishabh Pant was done - he probably is for the next match - but here is is. This is the series that keeps on giving.
Right, the players are back out there.
Ben Stokes has ball in hand and Washington Sundar has marked his guard.
