  1. Jasprit Bumrah is rummaging around in the box of balls.

    Who will England send out to bat?

  2. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Lord’s

    It looks like Dhruv Jurel is padded up to keep for India. Rishabh Pant was fit enough to bat but will not take the gloves after his finger issue.

    Guess this is the definition of a par score...

    Alex from Basingstoke

    Have teams ever been tied at the exact halfway point of a Test series before?

    Richard, Oxford

    That's it then. Basically a two-day match. 90 overs each. The best team wins.

    Ben, Leicester

  4. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Lord’s

    England will face six minutes tonight. Two overs, max.

    Nighthawk, anyone?

    WICKET & END OF INNINGS

    Washington c Brook b Archer 23 (Ind 387-10)

    Sundar caught off Archer to leave scores tied

    Washington Sundar sends the ball high into the sky and it drops into the waiting hands of Harry Brook at long stop. Jofra Archer looks a little embarrassed.

    The scores are level and England will bat tonight. What fun.

    India 7 run lead, England 28-1 at stumps. Crawley out, bowled Bumrah.

    Tom from Hertfordshire

  7. Ind 387-9

    Mohammed Siraj defends the remaining two deliveries.

    A reminder - the scores are level and we're into the final 20 minutes of the day.

  8. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Beautiful delivery from Chis Woakes. Lovely swinging delivery, provoking Bumrah to come forward and have a play at it. The ball has woken up, because I don't know where this has come from.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Bumrah c Smith b Woakes 0 (Ind 387-8)

    Bumrah removed by Woakes after edging behind

    Washington Sundar levels the scores with a single.

    Next ball, Jasprit Bumrah is on his way, edging through to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith. Chris Woakes is getting the ball to move late in the day.

  10. Ind 386-8

    India trail by one run

    Jofra Archer is bowling with two slips and a leg slip.

    Washington Sundar takes a single which is cheered enthusiastically.

  11. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Lord’s

    I wonder what Zak Crawley is thinking right now.

    Does he really want to bat tonight?

  12. Ind 385-8

    Jasprit Bumrah faces five balls from Brydon Carse and defends them all.

  13. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Lord’s

    The atmosphere feels very pro India now despite the wickets.

    “Boom-Boom, Bum-rah!” is the chant as India’s superstar emerges.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Deep c Brook b Carse 7 (Ind 385-8)

    'It's a brilliant catch!' - Deep caught brilliantly by Brook at slip

    Akash Deep edges into the slips and Harry Brook takes a fine one-handed catch, diving away to his right.

    India still trail by two runs.

  15. Ind 385-7

    Jofra Archer puts his hands on his hips and looks down at the ground. He responded to being hit for six by Akash Deep by beating Washington Sundar's bat a couple of times.

  16. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    If they can get 30-40 run lead, it could be very meaningful for India.

  17. 6 runs

    Ind 384-7

    'That's a terrific shot!' - Deep flicks Archer away for six

    Who saw that coming?

    Jofra Archer charges in to Akash Deep and is flicked high into the stands for six.

  18. How's stat?!

    Ashwanth R Kavuluri
    Cricviz analyst

    The average speed for Ben Stokes in this innings has been 85 mph, matching his fastest for an innings since the start of 2021, which was against the West Indies in 2024 at Birmingham. A truly remarkable effort by the England skipper in these tough conditions.

  19. Ind 378-7

    India trail by nine runs

    With a single apiece for Washington Sundar and Akash Deep, England's lead falls into single figures.

    India trail by nine runs with three wickets in hand.

    Is it just me or are these umpires really poor? For instance - giving a four when it was six, allowing endless breaks, Gill getting treatment on the pitch etc
