Left-hander Ansari is being crowded by India fielders. Slip, gully, short leg, silly point and short cover. Keeper and bowler mean there are seven men on top of the Surrey man. It's like having to go through the tunnel in a playground game of Killer Ball. Still, not stuck in the headlights, Ansari uses his feet to hit a full toss for four.

Stokes' wicket was also Ashwin's 50th of the year, making him the second bowler to reach that target behind Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath.

The game has changed with Stokes' departure. All of a sudden, it feels like every delivery could bring a wicket. After this pair, England only have Stuart Broad and James Anderson to come. Jadeja is over the wicket to Rashid, who defends six balls more by luck than judgement. Ansari, potentially with a dodgy tummy, has to run the Ashwin gauntlet.

I worry a bit for umpire Dharmasena, if I'm honest with you. If they have to review that, his confidence must have taken a real hit.

It's an odd one. Ashwin is quite an excitable cricketer. It's the most ridiculous appeal of all time.

One replay is all we need. Definite bounce straight after contact with the bat.

Another? Zafar Ansari's second ball is driven straight to short cover. India think it's on the full, but it looks bump ball.

It was a terrific innings from Stokes. He showed immense patience, not the sort of virtues we associate with him necessarily, although we're beginning to. He won't like that end because it was a passive end. He battled so hard for so long and then one little error of judgement. It's reminiscent of Tony Greig.

It looks as if he's hit it. That was my first reaction.

Pad, then back of bat?

Stokes prodded forward and the ball popped up to silly point. The umpire has two options here - caught or lbw - but I'm pretty sure he's got an inside edge on that.

Ben Stokes has to review this, but it's surely more out of hope than expectation. He looks stone dead lbw to Ravichandran Ashwin. If he's hit it, it was caught at silly point. Double jeopardy...

Stokes has been coached by Graham Thorpe and he reminds you of him when he bats sometimes now. 

Clear blue again in Vizag. We're still on for a cloudless series. Stokes, arms inked like a darts player, is troubled by a few that Jadeja gets to bite from outside off stump. His response? To fetch a sweep shot that batters the square leg fence. He'd waltz into a Tattooed XI, right?

It hit low, I think it might be outside the line. I think Saha decided it was not coming in sufficiently to hit off stump.

In the least predictable bit of captaincy you will ever see, Kohli replaces Umesh with R Ashwin. Noise levels crank up as Ashwin gets into his double-jointed action. Slip, gully and short leg for Rashid, who is hit on the pad and is the subject of an appeal. Well outside the line, I fancy.   

Richard Parfitt: Adil 'boom boom' Rashid showing the middle order how it's done.

Kohli's had enough of his pacemen, who have been sent away in disgrace. Ravi Jadeja, a man incapable of removing his shades, is back with his left-arm tweakers. It's tidy, but Rashid is starting to look set, even if one leave gets too close to off stump for comfort. There are two kinds of leave - good ones and bad ones. This was a good one, but only just.

Rashid has hit four boundaries in the last seven balls he's faced from Umesh Yadav.
