    He gets done in the flight, but what kind of shot is that? Did I just say he was one of the better players of spin in this side? I take that back. You can't be doing that.

    Steven Finn has arrived with some drinks. Root takes it, presumably keen to forget that shot from Moeen. Just awful. Mid-on barely had to move. He went with the shot too early but that was daft cricket.

    That is a really, really ugly way to get out. He's walking off very slowly.

    Moeen c Jayant b Ashwin 5 (Eng 39-2)

    Oh, Moeen. That is dreadful. A truly horrible way to get yourself out. Down the pitch to Ashwin, skews his shot up into the air and it went straight up and down to Jayant Yadav at mid-on. He wasn't dropping that. A look at Trevor Bayliss up in the dressing room shows the face of a very unimpressed man.

    That was an absolute grubber - it went underneath Moeen's bat.

    Ooft! Ooh that kept low! Jadeja bowls a grubber that sneaks underneath Moeen's push forward and rolls past the stumps. Parthiv takes it down by his toes, before there's an almighty yell for lbw to the final ball of the over. Kohli has a look, decides its going down, and opts not to review.

    Moeen 3, Root 19

    Cook did make a century just two Tests ago. Admittedly this inninsg was deeply unpleasant to watch but the interminable wait for the first review wouldn't have helped his mind set, on top of a long day in the field. Who opens if Cook quits? Who captains? Give us your thoughts. Root and Moeen see out an Ashwin over with no danger.

    Glen Meskell: I've said it before and I'll say it again. Cook is a liability as an opener. No form, no leadership and not enough runs.

    Jon Hare: If opening for England was just all talk and no action, the selectors would have to look no further than Twitter.

    It might be a sparse crowd but they're making plenty of noise. Jadeja beats Moeen's outside edge then turns one into his pads. He pleads with Umpire Erasmus, who shakes his head. Going down leg. Moeen uses the outside edge to his advantage, running the ball away for a couple to keep the score ticking over.

    Moeen has now batted in the top nine positions for England in Tests. Only two other players have done so: Trevor Bailey (below) batted from one to nine, and Wilfred Rhodes batted in every position from 1 to 11.

    Moeen 1, Root 17

    Moeen is indeed the man at number three. He's down the pitch to Ashwin straight away, a nice little skip, but he defends the ball away into the covers. Ashwin, not a fan of someone charging him, responds with a delivery that clatters into Moeen's pads, but was sliding down leg. Moeen checks himself then heads down the pitch for a chat with Root.

    There was a time when Cook went into bat and you wondered how big a century he was going to make. Now it's whether he will reach double figures.

    During that over, Ashwin was unhappy with Root, who was standing very straight at the non striker's end. His shadow was falling onto the pitch, which Ashwin was claiming was distracting. Root was doing it to help Cook judge any lbw decisions. Root's face, while everyone was debating where he was stood, was the picture of innocence. Jadeja responds with one that spits out of the rough and turns.

    It was a slower off-break, tossed high in the air. You wouldn't think that there was a gap there, but that went through the gate. It didn't spin but the stumps are gone. Cook looks a bit tired at the moment. There's no sense of the usual Cook security.

    Cook b Ashwin 12 (Eng 27-1)

    Bowled 'im! Through the gate! Oh that was an unhappy innings from Cook. He's survived two reviews, countless yells for lbw, and Ashwin's settled the matter by bowling him. It was nicely flighted and Cook left a big enough gap for the ball to sneak through and send the bails flying.

    It's Root's turn now to be unsettled as he comes down the pitch and Jadeja strikes him on the pad, but he was a long way down. Umpire Erasmus shakes his head, a wry grin on his face. This will be the test now. Can they keep their cool with all the chatter and noise around the bat, knowing that every time they hit the pads, there will be an appeal?

    Cook is clinging on at the moment.

  20. Eng 25-0published at 12 overs

    Two slips and a short leg in for Cook. It's quite tense out there, Cook not looking at his most secure. He's playing with his bat and pad very close together. Ashwin then beats him with a beauty, a ball that goes through the gate and somehow misses the stumps. The keeper puts his hands on his heads while Cook exhales in relief.
