    If India bat well enough, they could be up to England's score by lunch on day four. Sometimes, in the third innings, people have collapsed and there is enough time to win the game.

    (Re 48 overs) We asked Chris, working nights in Amsterdam, what sort of work he was involved in.

    Pujara has been the best player - a touch player in control. Just at the end, Rashid caused a little difficulty. Vijay has not picked the googly. Ansari bowled steady. There's nothing in the pitch. The odd ball turns but, the rest of the time, it's flat. All of the India team are queuing up for a bat.

  5. Morning session summarypublished at 06:15 Greenwich Mean Time 11 November 2016

    So India resumed on 63-0 and lost Gautam Gambir to the first ball of the second over as Stuart Broad struck in his 100th Test.

    Since then Cheteshwar Pujara has played a series of stylish strokes, hitting 12 boundaries, although he has been hit three times by bouncers from Chris Woakes.

    Pujara and Murali Vijay have both passed fifty, Vijay launching Zafar Ansari for two sixes, and their partnership has extended to 94, with India now 375 runs behind England's first innings total of 537.

    Geoffrey has expressed his surprise at Pujara being hit three times by Woakes, who he describes as "fast medium". I'd have thought a bouncer at 87mph was fast enough but I didn't have to face Michael Holding I suppose. Who have been your favourite fast bowlers of recent years?

    Waqar Younis in full flow was a wonderful sight, those devastating inswinging yorkers. I also loved watching Curtly Ambrose, and will never forget the sight of him and Courtney Walsh striding round the boundary at Arundel Castle. I had never seen two people that tall. Send in your favourite paceman to #bbccricket throughout the morning.

    I thought it was a good start by England, they haven't done anything wrong throughout the morning. The ball that got Gambhir was straight and nothing else happened for the seamers, even though it was odd to see Woakes hit Pujara three times.

    That's not the worst shout. Cook isn't happy with it. Whatever Bairstow said to him, the skipper wasn't convinced. Well done, captain. 

  12. Lunch - Ind 162-1published at 50 overs

    Rashid wants a review after a googly traps Vijay in front. England have both of theirs left but captain Cook decides against and he is proved correct as the replays show the ball bouncing over. The session ends, with India adding 99 for the loss of just that one early wicket.

    Only three teams have made a higher total than 537 in the first innings and lost a Test. England famously lost to Australia after declaring in Adelaide in 2006 and Australia lost to India on the same ground three years earlier. The highest first-innings total made to lose a Test is 586 by Australia against England at Sydney in 1896.

    Vijay 57, Pujara 61

    No success for Stokes in his final over before lunch, clipped away for singles nonchalantly by the well-set India duo.

    England turn to Adil Rashid, the third spinner to be tried this morning. He tries a couple of googlies but nothing to overly concern the batsmen.

    What sort of night shift work is it in Amsterdam Chris? Great picture. I was there last year for a family wedding. There were no stories. I enjoyed the architecture but I actually preferred Alkmaar. Incredible Beatles museum there, the largest in the world apparently.

    We can't say that Ben Stokes played a flawless innings and this of Pujara's is no different. When the ball moves around and gets up at him, it's a different game.

    Pujara reaches his half century in style too with a cover drive to the boundary. It his 11th Test fifty and it has come from 74 balls. After seeing his son struck three times by short deliveries, dad looks a lot happier now watching on in his blue and white hooped polo shirt. Two more boundaries follow in an expensive Stokes over.

    He's played nicely. He's defended nicely and has played the ball into the gaps. On these pitches, India's batsmen are pretty good.
