    Ex-England captain on Test Match Special

    Even though India have gotten two quick wickets, it is still hard to stop this England side from scoring.

  2. Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Harry Brook is the fifth batter and first Englishman to make 99 and 0 in a Test.

    Pakistan's Babar Azam was the last - against Australia in Abu Dhabi 2018.

    The arrogance of Brook. A youngster with huge talent but knowing only the 'Bazball' culture. Drop him until he's grown up enough to be a team player.

    Jeff, Brighton

    After all the hard work from Duckett and Crawley adjusting to the scenario, Brook has completely let the side down there. Could easily have gone for two ducks, needs to show he has the ability to show restraint.

    Harry Brook. A professional and a captain. Give your head wobble. What on earth was that shot!? Precarious game state just needing sensible play. Just when I think England have got some sense to balance the heave-ho with proper cricket.

    Ben Duckett now averages 44.98 as a Test opener, edging ahead of Sir Alastair Cook's 44.86 average in that position.

  5. Eng 263-4

    Ben Stokes attempts a cover drive but edges Shardul Thakur through gully for four.

    That's the only scoring shot of the over.

  6. Eng 259-4

    Reverse sweeping contest.

    Root gets a single before Stokes misses one and sees the ball pop over his stumps and wallop Rishabh Pant.

    The England captain then plays the shot again to get a single through point.

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

    The problem with being a new captain is everyone thinks they are helping you by telling you what they think happened. Short leg was convinced.

    Sometimes you have to trust your players, sometimes it's your own instinct.

  8. Not out

    Eng 256-4

    No, it came off the upper arm, just above the elbow.

    Nervy times for England players and fans alike.

  9. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Will India check this? It was a really confident appeal for the catch.

  10. India review

    And another?

    Ben Stokes attempts a reverse sweep and Jadeja's delivery pops up to be taken at short leg.

    A massive appeal but then a bit of a conference - Shubman Gill is going to take a look, how could he not?

    I'm absolutely blaming Rob in Guildford (15:44) for that wicket. That kind of hubris doesn't go unpunished.

    Tom, Falmouth

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

    I wonder if Ben Stokes had his kit on ready or not? But if there is one man you want walking out there, it's him.

  13. Eng 256-4

    No hat-trick for Shardul Thakur as Ben Stokes cracks the seamer through mid-wicket for three.

    Root then fails to score off the final ball of the over.

  14. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A tickle by Brook and India are swamping each other! Talk about a twist.

    WICKET

    Brook c Pant b Thakur 0 (Eng 253-4)

    'Talk about a twist!' - Brook out for golden duck after being caught behind by Pant

    Harry Brook goes first ball - the game is taking a turn!

    The England white-ball captain advances down the pitch trying to whip Shardul Thakur towards mid-wicket and manages to tickle to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who takes the ball down the leg side.

    Thakur, who has barely bowled in this match, has taken two crucial wickets and is now on a hat-trick.

    Out comes England captain Ben Stokes to face it.

  16. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    He has been caught, can you believe it? He's gone for 149. Has that just burst the game open?

    WICKET

    Duckett c sub b Thakur 149 (Eng 253-3)

    'Can you believe it?!' - Kumar Reddy takes 'fabulous' catch to dismiss Duckett on 149

    Drives uppishly into the covers... and caught!

    Ben Duckett falls just short of his 150, lifting the ball to substitute Nitish Kumar Reddy who takes the ball on the tumble.

    The opener's superb innings comes to an end.

  18. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Ravindra Jadeja has been firing it in, I wonder if he can bowl it a little bit slower to get some more flight.

  19. Eng 253-2

    250 up for England as Ben Duckett gets down low and reverse sweeps Jadeja through third for four, beating the fielder on the ropes.

    The England opener takes a single to retain the strike, moving to 149.

  20. Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Since 2006 there have only been nine instances of a batter reverse sweeping a spinner for six in Test cricket - Ben Duckett has done it twice, both times off Ravindra Jadeja.
