    We may be witnessing a new, improved version of the Bazball era today. Positive and controlled batting, without the unnecessary and reckless shots we've seen so often in the past. Long may this continue.

    Ruth Brooksbank, day out cancelled to follow this.

    Having watched us crumble in Tests for 25+ years, it’s great to have an England team that really can chase down 400 in a fourth innings. Win, lose or draw, this team deserves so much credit.

  2. Eng 107-0

    Target 371

    I don't want to put this all on Tuffers but from the moment he said England's openers haven't taken any risks, it feels like they've gone out of their way to prove him wrong!

    It's Ben Duckett this time, trying to reverse sweep a ball that was heading down leg and ends up plinking it into the off side.

  3. Eng 106-0

    Crawley 42, Duckett 57

    Here come the risks... Careful now!

    After missing with a pull shot, Zak Crawley goes again and completely mistimes it.

    The ball goes a long way up but lands in the gap between the fielders on the leg side.

    A bit more fortune to end the over as the right-hander stretches to drive and sends a thick edge wide of gully for two more.

  4. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    These two have cruised there. They're going at a canter at the moment and no real risks taken.

    Ben Duckett really is some player.

  5. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Crawley just lent onto that and it has flown for four to bring up the 100 partnership.

    'It flies for four!' - Crawley brings up century partnership with Duckett

    Crunching drive from Zak Crawley to bring up the hundred partnership with Ben Duckett.

    Hit at the top of the bounce, through the covers for four.

    Superb stuff from the England openers both last evening and this morning.

  7. Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Crawley and Duckett have surpassed 2,000 runs as an opening partnership, currently average 44 per partnership. It's the first time an English pair has surpassed this milestone since Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss.

  8. Cheteshwar Pujara
    India batter on BBC Test Match Special

    I am not happy with this field. Shubman has to bring mid-on up. Jadeja is a quality spinner and he should be inviting Crawley to go there.

  9. Eng 96-0

    Target 371

    Nothing rash from Crawley and Duckett as they have a little look at Ravindra Jadeja.

    Four singles from the over, the last of them courtesy of a strong reverse sweep from Duckett.

  10. Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Ben Duckett reached fifty off 66 balls - his fifth slowest in Tests.

    His first-innings fifty took 68 balls - his third slowest.

  11. Time for some spin. Ravindra Jadeja is coming on for his first bowl of the day. What will be in this surface for him?

  12. Eng 92-0

    Target 371

    The odd one is going to jump out of this surface, we saw it when England were bowling yesterday, and Prasidh Krishna proves it with an 89mph delivery that rises past Ben Duckett.

    That aside, the England left-hander takes a pair of twos to deep mid-wicket in the over.

    The home side's run-rate is now up to exactly four an over.

    Positive cricket is certainly the way to go in fourth innings chases. The trick is not to get carried away.

    Kislay in Delhi, hoping England do get carried away!

  14. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    There are one or two warning lights flashing for India now as these two look very steady. They need Ravindra Jadeja on.

  15. Eng 87-0

    Target 371

    Lovely drive through the covers from Zak Crawley.

    He's had to wait to get one of those through this morning but he does so superbly this time. All along the deck and comfortably beats the fielder in the race to the fence.

    Either side of that boundary, India try to get the ball changed again. They think it's out of shape but the umpires are having none of it.

  16. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Headingley

    It's not a big crowd but I'd say their majority have risen to their feet to applaud Ben Duckett's fifty.

    The Great Escape theme tune follows from the trumpeter.

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    Ben Duckett does it again. He is so consistent these days.

    Eng 82-0

    Duckett reaches half-century as England start run chase strongly

    Ben Duckett raises his bat to the crowd after working a single off his hip to bring up his 15th Test fifty from 66 balls.

    Good knock so far but plenty of work still to be done for the England opener.

    I love Duckett and Crawley, such a reliable opening partnership and one that can't be overstated after some of our recent struggles at the top of the order.

    Peter, Durham

    Crawley will know what a huge innings this is for him. He has started well and needs to get to lunch before attacking this afternoon.

    What's Duckett doing there? That all went wrong, I'm not sure why he did that.

    He has hurt himself there.
