    Vaghul: Jadeja has over-Cooked it in this series.

    Graham Beer: The collapse is on a bit earlier than usual. 130 all out?

    SN: Amazing to see how poor Cook has been in this series. Gone is the fluency and determination seen on previous tours to India!

    Kedar Kulkarni: Time for Ashwin to wrap up the 'tail.'

    Root 20, Moeen 2

    That's more like the Root we all know and love, delicately angled to collect a controlled boundary from a yorker length ball just wide of off-stump from Umesh.

    Australia's Peter Handscomb has reached his maiden Test century in the day-night Test in Brisbane, where the hosts have reached 377-7 against Pakistan at the Gabba.

    Why is Moeen lobbing that over mid-wicket? The length wasn't there to keep it on the ground. Rahul should have caught that.

    Dropped catch - Moeen on 0published at 15 overs

    Eng 27-2

    It should have been another duck for Moeen after an airy flick off his pads at Jadeja but Rahul mis-times his leap at mid-wicket and the ball slips through his grasp like an early morning bar of soap in the shower.

    Top players don't make three mistakes on the trot unless they aren't thinking properly.

  7. Eng 25-2published at 14 overs

    Umesh again and the usually assured Root gets an edge off the back foot. It would have been a routine catch for second slip but there isn't one, there is a first and third, but no second and the ball flies away for four. Root then plays and misses with another ill-advised shot and is then pinned on the pads but India choose not to review. Root survives and still has that lovely gentle smile as he talks with Moeen in mid-pitch.

    England have lost two wickets with indeterminate shots. Cook hasn't played badly in this series, but he's not been at his best. The pitch isn't doing anything.

  9. Eng 21-2published at 13 overs

    Another left-hander Moeen Ali is the new batsman, with 191 runs in the series, including one hundred, one fifty and one nought. Which of those is more likely today?

    Jadeja has got Cook throughout this series. That's a soft dismissal. Full and wide of off stump. He possibly could have left it - it didn't turn as much as he might have thought. A Cook on top of his game wouldn't get out to that. England are already up against it.

    WICKETpublished at 12.4 overs

    Cook c Kohli b Jadeja 10 (Eng 21-2)

    It was a rather tentative prod from the skipper and his counterpart Kohli pouched it low at slip. The fifth time Jadeja has removed the captain. He's had a modest winter by his standards, but has reached double figures in all but two of his 13 innings so far.

    One of the great unused cricket songs: Ishant Sharma's gonna get you, Gonna look you right in the face, Better get yourself together darlin', Join the human race, How in the world you gonna see, Laughin' at fools like me, Who in the hell d'you think you are, A super star, Well, right you are.

    Cook 10, Root 8

    Umesh returns to replace Ishant and is wristily clipped through mid-wicket for three by Root, the only batsman in the England side to average over 50.

    Jadeja has got Cook with three lbws and one stumping in the series.

    Cook 10, Root 5

    Jadeja has dismissed Cook four times in the series but the England captain collects his first boundary with a delightful stroke to the cover fence.

    Cyclone is in Indian and South China seas, typhoon in Pacific, hurricane in Atlantic. All the same in meteorological aspects ie extreme depression with extreme winds above certain speed, gale force 12 I think. Different names just denote different parts of world.

    Root calmly plays out a maiden from Ishant, the angular seamer's fourth, and just one run has been scored off his bowling so far.

    Sitting up at the Whittington Hospital watching my seven-month-old coughing and spluttering his way through bronchiolitis while doggedly trying to remove his oxygen mask at every opportunity. A Cook century would be welcome relief!

    Cook 6, Root 5

    The first sight of spin as combative left-armer Ravi Jadeja enters the attack. Two thickset gentlemen in smart blue tailored shirts and blue slacks scurry out to the centre to apply some trusty sawdust to some damp areas - it's not just Headingley where they use it. Jaedja traps Cook on the pad but India take too long to decide over a review - and it is just as well as replays show it would have comfortably missed leg-stump.

    India have not lost a Test on this ground since 1999. In seven matches, they have won four and drawn three.
