Target 405 - highest Test chase in India
Cook lbw for 54 (188) in final over
Hameed makes 25 off 144 balls
Kohli 81; Broad 4-33, Rashid 4-82
2nd Test, Visakhapatnam; series 0-0
Target 405
Umesh Yadav will bowl the first over at tea, facing a steely eyed Alastair Cook. Every ball he's wandering away to short leg, having a little mutter to himself. Yadav goes straight, trying to get a low one to snaffle through. Cook meets it with his bat, protecting his stumps. Maiden.
Cheers Steph. I own two Natalie Imbruglia albums, which makes me overqualified, if anything, to play for Australia. Keep sending the tenuous links our way.
Anyway, Alastair Cook and Haseeb Hameed have made their way out to the middle, followed by a ponderous Virat Kohli and his team.
I'm off to book a flight to Adelaide. Here's Amy Lofthouse.

Richard: I met Tug from Home and Away once in a hotel bar in London, surely that gets me a call up as vice captain.
Iain Chambers: My wife dropped a glass of Wolfbass on the carpet last night. I gladly nominate her for 1st slip...

India made it comfortable in that session. I think Kohli has missed a couple of tricks. I'm sure India will have more fielders in threatening positions to try and get wickets after tea. There's been nothing on the stumps whatsoever and they're not taking advantage of the pitch.

I'm trying to think if I have any claim to play for the Aussies. I once saw Karl Kennedy from Neighbours play a gig at Walkabout in Manchester, so I think that's probably enough. Then again, would I want to play for Australia???

It's been a terrific session from England - and a good day. Cook's mental resilience is transferring to Hameed and it's great to see from a 19-year-old. However, in Dhaka, England were 101-0 chasing 260 and within an hour we'd lost the game, so there's no getting ahead of ourselves. If Cook is still there at the close of play then England will start to believe.

Rich: My Grandma is from Austria. Sounds a bit similar and I would be happy to field silly-mid on. Strewth!
James Abell: Apart from the U,T,R, I & A my name contains all the letters in Australia. AND I have an Ayers Rock paperweight. Captain please.

The first session is chalked off . Four more to go...
Target 405
That couldn't have gone much better for England, could it? They have got through the first of five sessions without losing a wicket. Alastair Cook and Haseeb Hameed head off, smiling. Feed them more.

My grandma once had a friend called Sheila, I think. I also still have some old zinc face block somewhere in the loft, left over from a skiing holiday a few years back. Waiting on that call from the selectors...

My cat is called Ozzie. Can I open the bowling?

Finally! I knew if we had enough of this Aussie banter that someone would take the bait. Thanks to Steven, for providing the first bite of the day. Final over before tea coming up...

Bit rich about the Aussies when you consider all you had to do to get a game for England a while back was to be South African.

The first milestone for England is getting to tea. One thing Bairstow couldn't do yesterday was get to lunch before getting out and that turned out to be a big blow for England.
Finally Kohli goes back to pace, employing Umesh Yadav from the end where Stuart Broad got the ball to play tricks this morning. Immediately there's a scuttler which Cook almost inside-edges on to the stumps, then the skipper is poking at one that goes past the inside edge. It looks a different game with pace on the ball.

Charlie Wetton: I took Queensland to the Aus domestic title 3 times in a row on Cricket Captain 2016, ready for the head coach role if needed
Arron Storey: I sat next to an Aussie on the tube last week and he sneezed. I own a pair of gloves- surely I could keep wicket?!
