    The umpires are back out, followed by KL Rahul and Murali Vijay. England come stomping out behind them, looking purposeful. We've got roughly two hours to go.

    Cheers, Steph. As everything I've said so far has jinxed something, I'm going to say I'm expecting a quiet, meandering session with no drama whatsoever. I live in hope.

    Right, the final session could well be a long one for England and their fans. I suspect Amy Lofthouse will do her best to talk about anything other than the cricket...

    Once dreamt that I was fielding in the slips and took a blinder of a diving one-handed catch. I was quickly woken up by my rather shocked wife, who I had grabbed by the throat! Lucky for her I didn't throw the ball up in celebration.

    If Michael Vaughan is right, and England are given four and a half sessions to bat, that means India won't declare until after lunch tomorrow. That's a depressing thought, isn't it?

    If England had got 350 and taken more time out of the game, I could see a way out for them. But India are too far ahead now. England will have to bat four and a half sessions to avoid going 1-0 down in the series - on a pitch that won't get any better.

    That's tea, a glorious 20 minutes of respite for England before they must reappear to confront the full horror of the situation they find themselves in. A long evening awaits.

    Had thought my wife was sleeping while I listened to Sir Geoffrey's commentary. This illusion was shattered at Anderson's dismissal when a very loud and extended "No-o-o-o-o!!!" came from her side of the bed - she had been surreptitiously listening with her headphones on.

    Not only are India batting, they look intent on batting for quite some time. There's no suggestion that they will be doing anything other than getting to tea unscathed, with the wait for the break prolonged by a speedy, on-the-mark over from James Anderson. Adil Rashid is going to bowl the final over before the interval.

    Mark Buddle: Good thing about watching the cricket in this bar is that no matter how bad England are doing, there's an Aussie sat next to me.

    England might do their best to make sure this Broad over is the penultimate one before tea. The bowler, blond hair and stubbly face fuzz, stalks around, pretty hacked off that's he's bowling again with an injured wheel. Outside the off stump, left alone by KL Rahul.

    Ashley Parker: England need a cricketing miracle to happen to even get a draw out of this Test now.

    The ground is surrounded by incredibly scenic hills. At the moment, England are at the bottom and India are having a picnic at the top. Anderson produces a trimmer that comes back into Vijay and cuts the right-hander in two. There's an appeal, but there's not much going for it. Jimmy is touching 90mph. I'm not sure he's bowled that quickly since Tony Blair was the PM.

    Broad looked to be really struggling by the end. He got a little pat off Jonny Bairstow, as if to say "my ankle hurts too". I'm losing track of the injuries out there.

    Stuart Broad, who had a scan on his foot this morning, shares the new ball (when did people stop having X-rays? Everyone has a scan now, don't they?). There doesn't look to be anything wrong with the tall pacer, who is generating good pace and some iffy bounce. If he isn't fully fit, he probably won't bowl many overs and will let the spinners do the work.

    India will play the rest of the day out. They'll score, because that's the nature of their play, then they'll put the accelerator on in the morning if they have to.

    I'm trying to think of a more demoralising scenario in all of sport than being told to field again when you're 200 behind. It's like going out after half-time in a football match when you're 15-0 down, or being asked to watch a whole Formula 1 Grand Prix. James Anderson, grumpy even when he's happy, looks murderous, a mood not improved when a leggy delivery runs off Murali Vijay's thigh pad for four.
