It's one of those where your eyes light up because it's one that you could easily hit. As a bowler you want to make the batter have to play at you, Chris Woakes didn't need to hit that. Karun Nair took it easily and Akash Deep picks up another.
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Caught at first slip, the new ball has picked up another wicket. Regulation catch, Akash Deep has now taken four-fer.
Chris Woakes does love a cover drive but it worked against him.

The new ball has done stuff throughout the series but it goes soft relatively quickly.
With three singles, England inch ever closer to 400.
There has been a wicket this session with Akash Deep bowling Harry Brook for 158. And it was a beauty of a delivery.

Chris Woakes is a good batter. Just as you might think that we're getting into the tail-end, he could come out and put up a big score.
Prakash Wakankar
BBC Test Match Special commentator
Firm stroke from Chris Woakes to get off the mark. He's come in with some intent. If it's there, it's going.
With a single from Jamie Smith, India's lead falls below 200. The follow-on has been avoided.
Chris Woakes celebrates with a four through the covers. He's off the mark.

We know the new ball is tough, as we saw yesterday. The good thing is that the ball goes soft quite quickly, they just need to get through this passage of play.

England avoid losing back-to-back wickets for a third time in the match. Akash Deep bowls down the leg-side to Chris Woakes and Rishabh Pant has to pull out an acrobatic dive to prevent the extras.
England trail by 200 runs.

Fabulous ball. Akash Deep with the new ball in hand. We knew it would be hard to face but what a brilliant innings from Harry Brook. Fantastic innings from him but it was a brilliant delivery. Pitches outside off stump, jagged back and he's gone.
After his shaky start yesterday, Harry Brook has managed to keep England in the game today.

Akash Deep strikes as he so often does with the new ball. That mammoth performance from Harry Brook has been broken. India can now take a breath.

A wicket! Akash Deep breaks the partnership.
The ball nips back and rattles Harry Brook's stumps.
He walks off to rapturous applause. Chris Woakes walks out whirling his arm around. He's had his pads on for a long time.
