    Akash Deep is going to be fired up - he just scored his top score in Test cricket. A chance for him to do what he does. Get through and get that ball moving early.

    Right, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett are out in the middle. Akash Deep will open the bowling for India.

    England need 374 to win.

    Thanks Matt. This could be fun.

    WinViz is backing India but it's worth remembering that Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley smacked 92 runs off 12.5 overs in England's first innings.

    First of all, that took some catching. With the way England have caught through this innings, your heart was in your mouth and the crowd was nervous as Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley collided.

    I do feel India's bowling attack, out of the two, has been a bit more consistent.

    England will fancy their chances with the way they go about their approach. They will not be fearful of this score.

  7. Postpublished at 17:47 BST 2 August

    Play can go until 19:00 BST tonight. England will have more than an hour to face with the bat.

    Will they dig in and cautiously play their way through? Pffft. I doubt it.

    I hope it doesn't go to a super over...

    India have hit 470 boundaries in this series - the most by any side in any series ever.

  10. Postpublished at 17:45 BST 2 August

    If England are going to win this they will have to make their second-highest chase in Test history.

    The good omen? Their best two chases have been made against India in the past three years.

    WICKETpublished at 88 overs

    Washington c Crawley b Tongue (Ind 396 all out)

    Josh Tongue can do one better than denying Washington Sundar the strike. He can dismiss him. Sundar skies a catch into the leg side where Zak Crawley clings on, despite colliding with Ollie Pope as he takes it.

    Josh Tongue finishes with five wickets. England will need 374 to win the series.

  12. Ind 396-9published at 87.5 overs

    One ball is left in the over. Can Josh Tongue deny Washington Sundar the strike?

    The one positive for England is the second new ball looks quite nice to hit.

  14. Postpublished at 17:40 BST 2 August

    Each of these sixes will feel like a haymaker to the stomach of England's players...

  16. Ind 396-9published at 87 overs

    Lead by 373

    Washington Sundar can do no wrong right now. As England bring the field up, he heaves another and it plugs in the outfield. That means he can stroll one and keep the strike to go again in the over.

    These two have put on 39 in 3.1 overs. England will now need more than they managed at Headingley.

    England are bowling into Washington Sundar's arc.

    The problem England are going to have is they're going to have a tricky hour or so batting.

  18. Postpublished at 17:36 BST 2 August

    Washington Sundar has scored 35 runs from the past 12 balls. He has bashed the ball out of shape so we're going to have a break.

    Washington Sundar punishes England, again.

    Wonderful batting from Washington Sundar.

    What a knock.

  20. 6 runs

    50 for Washington Sundarpublished at 86.5 overs

    This is sensational. Washington Sundar goes to fifty from just 39 balls with his fourth six in three overs.

    He punches the air to celebrate. India are pumped.
