Stokes played well last night too in an understated way. The innings had stalled but he gave the Indian players a little reminder of what might be to come when he strolled down the wicket and hit a six.

England have already scored more than they did in Bangladesh, having failed to reach 300 in any of the four innings during that fascinating series.

England will be very unhappy if they didn't get beyond 450, but in the modern era that doesn't guarantee you won't get beaten.

It has happened so quickly, but Moeen is now one of England's experienced men who people look to when they need control. He did that very well yesterday.
