  1. Ind 65-1

    Lead by 71

    Good running from India as KL Rahul drops the ball into the leg side and calls Sai Sudharsan through for a quick single.

    It's the only run from the Josh Tongue over but this has been an impressive partnership in tricky conditions and it's now worth 49.

  2. How stat?!

    Despite losing a wicket and scoring at a far quicker rate than in the first innings (4.08 runs per over v 3.00 runs per over), India’s batters are doing so with far more control.

    India after 12 overs:

    • 1st inns - 36-0 - 26% false shots
    • 2nd inns - 49-1 - 15% false shots

    England have been playing positive cricket. Ben Stokes looked dangerous with his first over so it will be a good battle in this next hour.

    I feel like India have better top order batters but England have more in the tail, leads to an interesting balance. Advantage England if they can get a few more today I feel.

    Sacha

  5. Weather-permitting, we could have another hour and 10 minutes before stumps.

    That includes the extra half hour because, once again, they're not going to get through the allotted overs for the day.

    Ben Stokes has swung it more than any of the England bowlers. With the lights on, he may be able to get something out of this pitch.

    This partnership is proving to be important after that first early wicket. India will be putting down a massive marker if they manage to come away from this game with a win.

  8. Drinks - Ind 64-1

    England had Sai Sudharsan caught behind down the leg side in the first innings as part of a very deliberate plan.

    It looks like Ben Stokes is going to try the same again and that leads to three balls in a row going harmlessly down leg.

    When he changes it up, angling the ball across the left-hander, Sudharsan drives nicely through backward point for four.

    Time for drinks with the rain still light enough for play to go on.

    The rain has stopped. Jofra Archer is about to take part in a first-class match for the first time in 1,498 days.

    15.1 overs remain in the day. He could bowl tonight after this bat.

  10. Only one over from Shoaib Bashir. It's Ben Stokes time.

  11. Cheteshwar Pujara
    India batter on BBC Test Match Special

    India should be looking to bat normally and should be aiming for 350 and above. Sometimes this little bit of drizzle can disrupt your concentration however, you would rather it rain completely or not at all.

  12. Ind 59-1

    Sudharsan 17, Rahul 36

    Umpire Chris Gaffaney has just had a glance up at the dark clouds gathering over Headingley.

    It looks like there are a few drops of rain now but it's not heavy enough to force them off... yet.

    Yep, umbrellas are up. Can England take one with them before this possible rain delay?

  13. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The wind is really blustering the trousers of the players at the moment. It is also getting a little bit dark here at Headingley.

  14. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Chester-le-Street

    Archer got 10 paces inside the boundary but is told not to bother because it's raining.

    He shares a laugh with England team-mate Matthew Potts.

  15. Cheteshwar Pujara
    India batter on BBC Test Match Special

    The first 13 overs have been exciting. There has been a good partnership and Sai Sudharsan is doing well on his Test debut. He is defending close to the body and looks a very solid player.

  16. Ind 57-1

    Lead by 63

    The wind has picked up again at Headingley, which won't help the bowlers.

    Not sure Shoaib Bashir can use it as an excuse for the long hop he serves up second ball, though.

    Pulled away for four with ease by KL Rahul. This partnership is now up to 41 for India.

  17. Cheteshwar Pujara
    India batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Anything can happen from this stage. This is proper Test cricket.

    The third innings has so much pressure because if you don't bat well, you lose the match. On this pitch, you are not sure when to declare it so there is pressure as a batting unit.

  18. Ind 49-1

    Lead by 55

    Too full, too wide and driven dismissively through the covers by KL Rahul.

    Those are the only runs from Tongue's first over of the innings.

    And it it will be a double change. Not Ben Stokes - although he did seem to be warming up - but Shoaib Bashir.

  19. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Chester-le-Street

    Jofra update.

    Sussex are eight down. It's dark. The floodlights are on.

    Archer is coming out to bat but you wouldn't want to face him in this.

  20. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    This is unusual from Ben Stokes, it's the sixth over of Chris Woakes. Usually he is chopping and changing his bowlers and his field a lot more, but he has been quite passive.
