Just waking up? Why? It's Sunday. If you must, England are chasing 405 or, more realistically, have to bat five sessions to save the game. Oh, and Australia have picked a batsman from Middlesbrough. Mohammed Shami doesn't look like a fast bowler, in fact he's blowing like a bagpiper, but he's getting the ball down in the high 80s. The line has gone, mind. 

It's not a surprise to see India turn to Ravichandran Ashwin this early, but Umesh was getting the ball to spit like a cobra. Ashwin is on a hat-trick after taking two in two yesterday, but Cook defends with nonchalance. Nice drive from Hameed for a single. England riding the early storm.

If India get Cook driving then it'll cause problems. He's great off his hip and when he's cutting the ball so they need to get him on the front foot. All you've got to do as a captain is watch how he plays - do your homework.

I'm with Mike Selvey. If you've ever played cricket, even if it's only in the back garden, start searching your family tree for Aussie roots. You could be playing in next year's Ashes. Hameed took a blow to the hand in the first over and is checked over by the England physio. He's OK, though, flicking a leggy delivery from Shami fine for four.

Haseeb Hameed is wearing a chestguard that increases the size of his chest two or threefold. He's so scrawny, you feel like one blow could crack half a dozen ribs. Umesh gets one to fly, bringing whoop whoops from the India fielders. It's like a game of Pop Up Pirates. You just don't know which one will jump up and which one will keep low.

Bairstow, with six catches and a stumping, is only the second England wicketkeeper to take at least seven dismissals in a Test in India. Bob Taylor managed 10 in 1980 and seven in 1982, both in Mumbai.

Batsmen will be inclined to feel like any delivery could have their name on it (which makes me think of the Blackadder sketch when Baldrick carves his name in a bullet), but those thoughts must be pushed to the back of the mind. The circular stands and baying crowd are enough to make touring batters feel like they have been fed to the lions. Shami comes round to Cook, hunting the stumps, but the skipper is able to repel a lifter.

Rachel T: We need the entire team, not just Hameed, to channel their inner Geoffrey Boycott today.

Umesh Yadav shares the new ball as Steve Smith calls Stuart Law and begs him to come out of retirement. It's rowdy in Vizag, the biggest crowd of the match. Two slips and a gully, a short leg, bounce about as trustworthy as a watch purchased from Del Trotter. Hameed rides some, wears some and ducks some.

The highest successful fourth-innings chases in Tests in India:

• 387-4: India v England, Chennai, 2008
• 276-5: West Indies v India, Delhi, 1987
• 276-5: India v West Indies, Delhi, 2011

Apart from the 276 by West Indies in 1987, the only other visiting team to chase 200-plus in India is 208-4 by England in Delhi in 1972.

Cook gets a taste of the five-session struggle ahead of his team as Mohammed Shami gets two balls to shoot through past the off stump. If they are on the timbers, it's curtains. Don't think everything will keep low, mind. Haseeb Hameed gets in a tangle and wears one on the gloves. Meanwhile, Australia's selectors wait at Sydney airport for any foreigner they can naturalise into a Baggy Green.

History is there to be made. Somebody is going to do it some time - there's always a first time. A chance is better than no chance.

Cheers, Amy. I suppose the question is whether or not England can survive long enough to force us into another early wake-up tomorrow. I'm not exactly sure what I'd prefer. Alastair Cook and Haseeb Hameed are in the middle...

That's it from me for a bit. I'll leave it to Stephan Shemlit to talk you through England's reply

MH: Aussies and SA lost 4-0 and 3-0 respectively on their last tour to India. If inexperienced ENG win a test they've done okay

And in case you missed it, Zimbabwe and West Indies tied a thrilling one-day international in the tri-series in Bulawayo yesterday.

Chasing 258, West Indies appeared nailed on for victory when they needed four off the final over with five wickets in hand.

But Donald Tiripano removed Craig Brathwaite with the second ball, Ashley Nurse was run out of the third and, with the scores level, Jonathan Carter was also run out off the final delivery chasing a bye to the wicketkeeper.

To have three debutants in the Australia top six hasn't happened since the 1970s. It's a very young, very green squad. The selectors have drawn a line in the sand after their recent collapses.

Matt Renshaw, would you believe, models himself on Alastair Cook. He's very patient and tends to cash in when he gets in. Australia would kill for some of the youngsters in the England squad at the moment.
