    This is Virat Kohli's third double century of 2016. Only four other players have managed three or more in a calendar year:

    • 4: Michael Clarke (Aus) in 2012
    • 3: Donald Bradman (Aus) in 1930, Ricky Ponting (Aus) in 2003, Brendon McCullum (NZ) in 2014, Virat Kohli (Ind) in 2016
  2. Ind 562-7published at 166 overs

    Jayant 85, Kohli 203

    OK, Alastair, what now? He sticks with Stokes but even the Durham all-rounder looks jaded now. Kohli works the ball off his pads for two more before Jayant drives a single. The way this is going, India will be able to chose when they end their innings.

    Kohli's 200 came from 302 deliveries, with 23 boundaries in 450 minutes. It is the fourth double hundred to be made at this stadium.

    This is a very special innings. Any double century is but this, particularly so. It's been a brilliant innings on a pitch which will show later just how difficult it is. My word, this innings is very special.

    Ind 558-7

    For one second, everyone in the ground thinks Kohli has just swept the ball off the returning Rashid straight to Stokes at short fine leg, but the India skipper had hit it into the ground and greets the moment with a big grin.

    He won't be denied any longer, though, as a flick to leg for a single brings up a remarkable double century. A great innings from a player who is now out on his own in terms of batsmen currently playing their trade.

    The crowd cannot contain themselves. Chants of "Kohli, Kohli," the drums are going like the clappers.

  8. Ind 557-7published at 164 overs

    Kohli 199, Jayant 84

    Ben Stokes comes on and is roared to the crease for every delivery, not in encouragement for him but for the man who awaits at the striker's end. Kohli is 198 but can only move one run closer with a single off the last ball. He has kept the strike, though. Surely, it will now come this over?

    Moeen is into his 53rd over, which is the most he's bowled in a Test match. The four seamers have bowled 54 overs collectively. 

  10. Ind 553-7published at 163 overs

    The camera phones are out, the volume is up, the crowd are ready for Kohli's 200. They don't see it this over, though. He moves to 198 not out with three of the five runs to come off a very tired looking Moeen. Looking at England, you'd think this was deep in the final session, not the first.

    Anderson bowled a very good over there and it went for eight. That's the story of the morning.

  12. Ind 548-7published at 162 overs

    India lead by 148 runs

    The respite didn't last long. Kohli is quickly on to a full Anderson ball on his pads and finds the gap behind backward square. Stokes dives (never anything but 100%) but he can't stop it.

    Anderson then prompts what is, in the context of this session, a chance as Kohli flicks the ball powerfully back at the bowler, but at shin height and such a pace that all he can do is stick out a leg to stop it.

    Normal service is resumed with a boundary off the last ball courtesy of a cute little dab to third man.

  13. Ind 540-7published at 161 overs

    Just the one run off Moeen. A little lull in runs, the smallest of respites for this battered and bruised England.

    Just looking at the body language now, England are starting to look a little forlorn. It's hard not to.

  15. Ind 539-7published at 160 overs

    Jimmy Anderson is muttering to himself as well, seeking for some kind of solution to this situation. His only course of action is to keep it tight, bowl for maidens, try and create pressure. Unfortunately, the pitch is benign to seam and these two are seeing it like a beach ball.

    Jayant Yadav's highest first-class score is the same as Virat Kohli's. Kohli made 211 against New Zealand in October, while Yadav made the same for Haryana against Karnataka in 2012.

    Kohli 184, Jayant 78

    Ben Stokes is chuntering himself like a chastised Muttley. This won't sit nicely with his competitive constitution. Jayant continues to batter the England attack, flicking the ball fine for two before launching over mid-on for four.

    This will go down in the history books as one of the great innings from Kohli. People will be talking about it for long years to come.

  19. drinks break

    Ind 529-7published at 158 overs

    Ravi Ashwin is having a good old chuckle with his team-mate up on the India balcony. I'm not surprised. He'll already be envisaging the damage he is going to do to this broken and demoralised England side.

    Just a single off Anderson's latest over. And that's drinks. England could probably do with a stiff whiskey.
