Bairstow's going to bat. He's hobbling - no runners allowed, either - but he's going to join Stokes at the crease. If this start is an omen for the rest of the day...

Ah. Jonny Bairstow has come out to bat with Ben Stokes, and has injured himself walking out to bat! I think he's tripped over his ankle. The physio and the doctor have come racing out.

Clayton Hodges: Eyes are starting to fail, but how can one sleep when England have such a huge session coming up... And I'm at work
A good effort that, Clayton. My housemate was returning from a night out as I left to come to Salford this morning.

However, at the opposite end, there's plenty on both sides of the wicket. I've got a bit of bad news for the left-hander - there's plenty of rough outside the off stump at both ends.

End of twitter postEngland 'batted like idiots'published at 03:51 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2016
Geoffrey Boycott was off his long run yesterday, describing England's batsmen as "idiots."
"It's pressure, pressure, pressure. It's a little bit about technique but it's a mental game," he said on TMS.
"It's not a raging turner, let's be honest. There's been some sloppy, poor batting."
There's more from Geoffrey - and believe me, it's well worth a read - here.

It wasn't the most pleasant experience, watching England bat yesterday.
After bowling India out for 455, they ended the day on 103-5 after losing four wickets for 29 runs.
The ball is keeping low and Ravichandran Ashwin and Jayant Yadav are getting some turn, but England handled the game poorly with a run out, a horrible hoick and poor techniques on show.
You can read the day two report here.

Ey up, and welcome to today's live text for the third day of the second India v England Test.
Grab a blanket, a coffee and get ready for England batting against spin on a pitch that's gonna turn. It'll be an interesting one.
