Having said that, here comes Mohammed Shami, bustling in for his 19th over of the day. That new ball is glistening temptingly by Rashid's off stump, but he leaves it alone. He doesn't deal as well with a straight one, coming perilously close to replicating Hameed's dismissal, but there's enough bat on it to drop it down to safety.

Peter Eastwood: Jonny Bairstow is a national treasure.

Decent pace from Umesh but a little off line, as he spears one across Woakes' attempted pull and down the leg side. Officially we've got three overs left but I wouldn't be surprised if the Indian spinners hustle through the next few to get a bit of extra time to bowl at England.

I think India will be looking to wrap up the England innings before the end of the day's play. They are taking the second new ball now and this is a good move because if England do resist this evening it will still be hard in the morning.

Here we go, Kohli's attempt to snaffle another wicket before the close. He takes the new ball, leaving it in Umesh Yadav's capable hands.

About the half the pitch is in shadow now, with Jayant tiptoeing out of the shade to bowl to Rashid. Rashid, looking to get England through to stumps without any further losses, pats everything back to him.

Jonny Bairstow faced 177 balls in 261 mins and hit six fours - and an England wicketkeeper has still yet to make a Test century in Asia.

Ashwin continues and Woakes comes dancing down the pitch to him, lofting him away for an easy single. Ashwin is furiously muttering to himself at the top of his mark, spinning the ball from hand to hand. He'll have better days than today.

What a wonderful innings from Jonny Bairstow. He deserved a hundred but he shouldn't be cross with himself, he did nothing wrong. The ball hasn't been turning but that one did. 

Jayant greets Rashid with one that just turns past the outside edge. He's bowled well again today, currently sitting pretty with figures of 2-49 from 14 overs.

Bairstow's out! Jayant's snaffled it! He's reviewed it - he's on 89, of course you'd review it - but that looked out...

For anyone under 30... a 1980s/early-90s BBC detective series in which Jim Bergerac solved crimes in Jersey while tootling around in classic cars. Not convinced Vic has ever done that.

Ashwin first ball is misguided, to say the least. Genuine rubbish that goes sailing down leg side, straight through keeper and backward short leg, and away for four byes. Bairstow nabs a single before Woakes hammers a short ball away to the boundary. An expensive over, by today's standards.

That was Bairstow's first boundary since the one that took him to his fifty. He went 96 balls without a boundary, easily the longest he has gone without one in a Test innings.

A four! Bairstow's first one for some time, as he sweeps Jayant emphatically away to the boundary. Absolutely no danger to that shot, the ball merrily rolling along the ground and into the ropes. He edges ever closer to three figures, trading another single to leave Woakes to see out the over.

Looks terrible there, Joanne... I thought India had taken the new ball, judging by the way Kohli and Ashwin were talking, but no, he'll continue with the old ball. Bairstow works an easy single from his second ball and Woakes sees out the rest of the over with no drama.

Ooh, is that a miss? Bairstow tries to fine tickle Jayant past leg slip and a leaping Pujara can't cut him off. The replay shows that it dropped just short of Pujara's outstretched mitts, and that two moves Bairstow into the eighties.
