'Ollie looks happy!' - Pope review pays off as Jaiswal dismissed lbw for two
Yashasvi Jaiswal against pacers - this series:
Chris Woakes throws his hands in the air after chasing the ball through the outfield and slipping as water flicks from his heels.
The ball is getting wet too.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special
Josh Tongue's last three deliveries were a lot nicer, especially that last one.
That's better.
Josh Tongue may have had that sickly feeling in his stomach but he reboots the radar to complete the over in more accurate fashion. It seems he was actually slipping as he landed.
12 runs from a nine-ball over.
A first over to forget for Tongue
This is getting ugly now.
Josh Tongue hurls the ball a mile down the leg side again. Five wides again.
Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special
Image source, PA MediaIt looks to me as though Josh Tongue has forgotten his radar. He's a bit all over the place so far.
Eeeek.
A no-ball from Josh Tongue, another down the leg side and now a wide that almost misses the strip.
I've hinted Chris Woakes has not quite been on it and Ollie Pope makes an early change. Josh Tongue is on...
And he starts with one a mile down the leg side! Five wides. That was a Harmison.

I have no advice here, David. Keep your head down.

I’m sat in an office near Pimlico station and my boss has gone into labour early. She’s currently refusing to leave until she finishes some work. TMS is a gentle distraction from a quite stressful atmosphere.

Look how happy Ollie Pope was to get a review right...
'Ollie looks happy!' - Pope review pays off as Jaiswal dismissed lbw for two
Rahul 8, Sudharsan 5
Chris Woakes holds his hands over his mouth as if India have got away with one but in truth this is a poor ball from England's experienced seamer. It's on Sai Sudharsan's hip and the left-hander flicks the ball way out of the reach of leg slip for four.

Phil Tufnell: "Usually about an inch-and-a-half, aren't they?"
The skies seem to brighten a little through this third Gus Atkinson over. It's a maiden but England's quick will want to reach up and drag those clouds back down.

Chris Woakes is only the fifth England bowler and just the second pace bowler, to bowl more than 1,000 deliveries in a Test series during the Bazball era.
Rahul 8, Sudharsan 1
Image source, PA MediaChris Woakes has not been quite so metronomic as he can be so far. One on the hip. Another wide of Sai Sudharsan's off stump.
It's two years to the day since he helped England win the fifth Ashes Test of 2023 and draw the series on that dramatic final day.
Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on Test Match Special
It's one of those pitches where you've got to hold your length as a seam bowler. You get the feeling there's that little bit of nibble on the fuller length.
Image source, Getty ImagesThis toss is the 15th India have lost in a row in all formats. That's a record.
It's a one in 32,768 chance.
Gus Atkinson keeps India's number three Sai Sudharsan on nought throughout the rest of his over. There's nibble around. This will be tough for India.
