    The pace is still good from Atkinson for a guy in his 22nd over.

  2. Ind 276-6

    Dhruv Jurel was desperate to get off the mark.

    Third ball of the over, he sets off for a single but is sent back by Ravindra Jadeja as Ben Duckett swarms the ball. Duckett's throw misses and Jurel, with a well-executed dive, would have been safe. He gets his run off the next ball.

    Three singles, three dots in total.

  3. Ind 273-6

    India lead by 250 runs

    India's lead is up to 250 and despite being six down, they've still got Washington Sundar to come.

    Jaiswal acknowledges the crowd as he walks off after making 118Getty Images

    It is a poor shot. Jaiswal is in disgust that he has hit the only man there.

    He has played brilliantly for his 118.

    Just when you felt like the next 15 overs were India's opportunity, England have picked up a wicket. The lead is a good one but it is not match-winning.

    Jamie Overton celebrates after catching JaiswalGetty Images

    England have caught one.

    Jaiswal's series with the bat is over but he has done some damage.

    WICKET

    Jaiswal c Overton b Tongue 118 (Ind 273-6)

    'England have caught one!' - Jaiswal removed for 118 by Tongue

    Yashasvi Jaiswal targets the boundary but picks out Jamie Overton at backward point to bring his excellent knock to an end. It's a good catch from the fielder, getting down low.

    England have clung onto one and have a breakthrough with a little over half an hour to go before tea.

  7. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Anything over 300 would require a great chase. The Headingley pitch, where England chased 371 in the first Test, was flatter than this one.

  8. Ind 272-5

    Yashasvi Jaiswal goes after Joe Root and absolutely hammers the ball into the covers. However, it goes straight to a fielder.

    A single for Ravindra Jadeja is the only scoring shot of the over.

  9. Ind 271-5

    Yashasvi Jaiswal attempts another uppercut but Josh Tongue's short ball is too high. He's not had much success with that shot since lunch.

    India extend their lead by three.

  10. Ind 268-5

    Joe Root starts with a maiden.

    Ollie Pope is sticking with Josh Tongue from the opposite end.

  11. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    England had to bowl spin at some stage. To be fair the seamers have run in unbelievably hard. How long can Jaiswal not be tempted by Root?

  12. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    If Joe Root doesn't get hit out of the attack he might be on for 10 overs.

    Will England be made to pay for six dropped catches in India's second innings?

    The last time England dropped six catches in an innings in a home Test was all the way back in 2006 against Pakistan, coincidentally also at the Oval.

  14. Ind 268-5

    All but one of the 61 overs in India's second innings have been bowled by England's three-man pace attack...

    Ollie Pope has pre-empted my point. Here comes the spin of Joe Root.

  15. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I think that would have been too high for a second slip.

  16. Ind 263-5

    India lead by 240 runs

    Two boundaries for Ravindra Jadeja off Jamie Overton.

    The first is lucky, a big edge flying high over the head of lone slip Joe Root. The second is well-timed through point.

    India's lead is creeping up towards 250.

  17. Ind 255-5

    A quieter over from Josh Tongue. One run added.

    Brook drops Jaiswal at second slip as ball runs away for four

    I've only got space for one more dropped catch on my scorecard.

    I suspect if Mark (14:26) was an Aussie fan he'd be finding reasons to be negative with them too. England have 8 wins and only 2 losses from our last 13 series, whilst (mostly) playing cricket you actually want to watch. Obviously lots of room for improvement but seems a cheap day to doommonger by ignoring the great cricket that both sides have played this series and place emphasis on a day where England are toiling with a diminished and rotated bowling attack (and might still win!)

  20. Ind 254-5

    Well, the first over after lunch brought the wicket of Shubman Gill.

    The first over after drinks, bowled by Jamie Overton, brought a dropped catch and eight runs.
