    Russell Anderson: The bowling simply isn't good enough. Selectors to blame. Calling up Dawson and not Leach is a joke. They all need sacking.

  2. Ind 481-7published at 148 overs

    Lead by 81 runs

    Rashid is rightly taken out the attack and replaced by Moeen Ali, who is much more economical and draws a huge appeal from Jonny Bairstow with a full ball that Jayant middles. He then nips one past the outside edge. That's a big improvement.

    Jayant Yadav's fifty came from 103 balls, with seven fours in 120 minutes. He's currently averaging 83.50 in Test cricket with the bat.

    This is like a one-day game - runs are coming thick and fast. England need to stop the boundaries.

    Ind 480-7

    Another boundary. The gentlest of pushes from Jayant sends the ball skipping away past backward point to the boundary.

    He brings up his fifty with a single. Kohli has taken all the headlines, but this has been a superb effort from the number nine. That is his second half-century of the series. He only made his debut in the match in Visakhapatnam last month.

    This is benefit bowling from Rashid - he's just lobbing them up. He didn't bowl like this yesterday.

  7. Ind 474-7published at 146 overs

    Rashid is having a shocker. He has not started well at all. "The Giant" welcomes another full ball with a dismissive drive inside mid-off for four. India are scoring at a fair lick. Moeen is loosening up.

    This pitch has looked an absolute pleasure to face the seamers on - it sits up beautifully.

  9. Ind 466-7published at 145 overs

    Jayant 39, Kohli 153

    Milestones been reached all the time. This partnership is now 100 runs strong. Ball has found a good line, outside off, but this is not his surface. It is not a surface for any seamer.

    This is Kohli's fifth score of 150 or more in Tests. Four of those have come as captain - behind only Mohammad Azharuddin and Sunil Gavaskar as skipper of India.

  11. Ind 463-7published at 144 overs

    India have come out swinging. Jayant Yadav eyes Adil Rashid up for a delivery and then drives and cuts for successive fours.

    Do you regret setting that alarm yet?

  12. 'An immaculate innings'published at 04:04 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2016

    An immaculate stroke for an immaculate innings. What a happy scene - and a happy sound too. You hear the drummers and trumpets. I hope everybody is clapping because it's worthy of it.

  13. 150 runs

    150 for Kohlipublished at 143 overs

    Ind 455-7

    As with yesterday, Jake Ball starts with the ball. No first-over heroics this time, though. Kohli moves to 150 with a lovely straight drive for four. Picking up exactly where he left off.

    On day three, we had drummers drumming. This morning, they are losing the battle to a whole load of vuvuzela's vuvuzelaing.

    I do think there will be a messy innings in this match - a team will get bowled out for 150 or 160. England have to make sure it's India rather than them.

    "It's clearly possible that it could be almost over today - if India extend their lead past 100 and, with the quality of Ashwin. But there's a chance that, if England ask India to get 220 in the last day, they might have a chance.

    England have got to get these three wickets for 30 runs, then give India a chase where they'll need more than partnership. If India need 180-plus in the fourth innings. England might just surprise them.

    Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott: "England have to get up with positive intent - you have to try and minimise the number of runs India are in front. The cheaper they get them out this morning, it gives them a bit better chance."
