Of course this is now the partnership that England were unable to break at Manchester. England have had more than their fill of Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja in the past fortnight.

Washington ducks to evade a 89mph Overton bouncer.

Washington Sundar is probably the world's best number nine. There is still work for England to do.

There will be three overs after this one before the new ball becomes available.

That was a very good delivery.

You could see the seam was meant to be swinging the ball away.

There's no edge.

It's out if there's no edge.

The commentator's curse!

This must be out. Dhruv Jurel reviews after being given out lbw.

The highest chase at The Oval in Test history is 263, although there have been many higher scores made in the fourth innings in defeat.

Dhruv Jurel, who I rate very highly, continues to look as solid as The Rock.

So far, absolutely no sign of turn from Joe Root or Jacob Bethell.

That's better from Jamie Overton, who thuds one down at 89mph after the frustration of that top-edge. Overton has been better today.

PitchViz for this afternoon's session was 2.9/10, the lowest for any in the Test - i.e. the best for batting.

Suggestions that this lively pitch may be flattening out

They've been and got the red-shirted man a grey Surrey top from the club shop! Remarkable.

Now the crowd is sarcastically cheering as the man gets it over his head.

Ravindra Jadeja gives a thumbs up and then top-edges over the keeper for four.

The suited man is indeed speaking to the spectator in a red polo shirt. He's not moving and is shaking his head.

Helpfully, a young lad in an even redder jumper has taken his seat in the row in front.

A serious-looking man in a suit is now getting involved.

Ravindra Jadeja is complaining about something behind the bowler's arm.

There's a chap down there in a bright red t-shirt below the sightscreen. I hope they're not going to ask him to take it off.

PitchViz this Test (out of 10, higher is harder for batting):

• Day one morning - 6.9
• Day one afternoon - 8.6
• Day one evening - 6.6
• Day two morning - 5.9
• Day two afternoon - 3.5
• Day two evening - 4.7
• Day three morning - 3.1
• Day three afternoon - 2.9

WinViz has India as strong favourites as the evening session gets under way.

This is only Jacob Bethell's second over of the day but these 12 deliveries have given a hint at why England are wary about using him as a frontline spinner. He has a tendency to bowl too straight and down the leg side.

I would like to believe India would need a few more runs to win the Test match.

Jacob Bethell is going to bowl the first over after tea.
