    Jonny Bairstow is in following the dismissal of Moeen and has to fend off four nasty, spitting balls from Jadeja. He manages. Just.

    Cheers Amy. Well, part of me was hoping that in my time away England might at least frustrate India. But there is a danger now they might not even take the Test into a fifth day.

    We've got just over 33 overs of scheduled play before the close. The first of those will be beginning in a few seconds...

    I'm going to take my leave. I'll leave you in the more than capable hands of Phil Dawkes. Get your score predictions in for him to have a look at.

    What on earth has Ramps been doing for the last 18 months? Technically England are getting worse! Head held shame!

    • Adil Rashid's 4-192 are the most expensive figures by an England bowler against India, and third most expensive against any team
    • India's total of 631 is their second highest against England

    Marc Fletcher: Bayliss has been brilliant for the ODI team but feel like we're going backwards in tests? Split the coaching roles?

    It is a lovely catch. He anticipated it. Jadeja bowls it quicker than England. Warne took his wickets at 43 in India, but these India bowlers bowl it quicker. Moeen isn't going to play the turning ball. You can play firm at the quick ball but not the turning one. You need to wait and use soft hands. Waiting is the hardest thing to do.

    And with that, it's time for tea. Joe Root trudges off, followed by a much more jubilant India.

    Moeen c Vijay b Jadeja 0 (Eng 49-3)

    Moeen has bowled 53 overs and spent 14 hours in the field so it's not surprising he's made a mess of that. He tried to turn Jadeja around the corner but Vijay took a terrific catch at leg gully, moving quickly to his right and snaffling the ball with one hand. A two ball duck for Moeen, and India are right on top.

    Root responds to that review with a lovely work of the wrists to shovel a boundary through mid wicket. His face when India reviewed that was a picture. A shake of the head, a grin, a walk down the pitch to lean on his bat and watch the big screen.

    That is ridiculous. What a wasted review. It is just excitement from India.

    Nothing. Root missed that by a distance. What a daft review.

    It is fraught. It is not like any England batsman is in control in the way that Kohli was.

    Has Root been caught at bat-pad? India love it, Root's shaking his head. The umpire's given it not out on the field but Kohli reviews.

    That was Jadeja's 100th Test wicket.

    Moeen is welcomed to the wicket by a quick delivery from Jadeja, similar to the one that dismissed Cook. Moeen greets it with the full face of the bat. Jadeja walks away to low gives and grins from his teammates.
