    England are in tatters here - four good batsmen gone and one potentially injured.

    Stokes lbw Ashwin 5 (Eng 78-4)

    Out. That's hitting his stumps. Off you go, Ben. It's struck him on the back pad and there's no arguing with that. Kohli sees him off the field by putting his finger to his lips, mimicking Stokes when he dismissed Kohli yesterday.

    The ball has hit his back pad...

  4. India review

    Hello, here's Ashwin. And there's a huge lbw shout against Stokes first up. Kohli thinks, thinks a bit more and then makes the signal. This is India's last review. 

  5. Eng 78-3

    One good thing for England is that Root is reading Jadeja much better. At the start of his innings he was playing him too deep in his crease. Now he's coming forward, bat just slightly in front of pad, able to defend him away into the field.

    Stokes 5, Root 36

    Stokes is hammering his bat like a bird trying to tempt a worm to the surface. Jayant gets him driving but it bounces into the ground before popping up to the fielder. Mohali's resident trombonium breaks into a mournful tune, which seems oddly fitting when you look at Moeen's face in the dressing room.

    Jadeja will replace Mohammed Shami, who has been off the pace. England are looking to block him, and that's it. Root takes a single and Stokes does just that. The two meet in the middle, punch gloves, have a brief conversation about field settings before returning to their marks.

    Jayant whips through another over, with England defending or working a single. Just another 15 minutes or so for England to see through, then it's back to the hotel, readjust and then do it all over again. Except do it slightly better than they have done today.

    It's not an easy wicket to bat on because the odd ball is keeping low, it's turning. You need application.

  14. Eng 75-3

    Lovely from Stokes. A roll of the wrist to flick the ball off his pads and away to the boundary for four runs. If England could just do repeat that shot for the next day and a bit, they'll be in fine shape. Shami continues with that short line but it's not working. Stokes can either leave it or play it off the back foot.

    Before criticising England’s batting, just ask which idiot arranged this schedule. We have now played five Tests in six weeks in difficult conditions, with two still to come. They look shattered. Madness.

    Really was a fantastic take from Parthiv, taking the catch very low down. Ben Stokes has joined Root at the crease. If he was grumpy earlier when England dropped two catches off his bowling, I can only imagine how thrilled he is now he's had to go out and bat. Still no sign of Hameed.

  17. Sunil Gavaskar

    That is a big wicket. He batted well at Rajkot, he batted well at Visakhapatnam and he got runs in the first innings here. It was a fine catch, almost near his bootlaces - Parthiv Patel has done that brilliantly.

    Bairstow c Parthiv b Jayant 15 (Eng 70-3)

    Gone! That's a lovely take by the keeper to dismiss Bairstow. He's right up to the stumps and Jayant got the ball to straighten and just flick the outside edge of Bairstow's bat. A tiny nick, but it's well held by Parthiv. England's form man goes trudging off, bat under his arm.

    Clearly it was going down the leg side, and it hit him above the knee roll.

    Trail by 66

    Shami is up to 89mph, the ball bashing into Root's bat as he pushes forward. There's a huge yell against Root, but what are they appealing for? Shami seems to be asking for an lbw, behind the wicket has gone up for a catch at slip. The umpire says no to all of them, and the replay shows that Root didn't hit it. A bit of rubbish down the leg side adds four byes to the total.
