Moeen Ali is back into the firing line, asked to bowl yet more dog overs to this India juggernaut. It's tidy enough, but the turn and bounce will only serve to encourage Ravi Ashwin. I really, really fear for what might happen to England when they finally get a chance to bat. The third new ball is due in four overs.

Ashwin is a good cricketer and if you were picking a world XI you'd put him in as your spinner. He can bat and if it turns he will bowl you out.

Ind 568-5

England will be thoroughly sick of the sight of Ravichandran Ashwin. When's he's not befuddling them with his spin, he's smashing them all round the park. Yet another half-century, greeted by deafening noise from the crowd.

Jennings has a pretty reasonable record, his 14 first-class wickets have come at an average of 33.3.

I reckon Keaton Jennings may have just been robbed of a bit of Test history. The man who got a hundred in his first Test innings gets his first bowl and, with his first delivery, sees a very strong appeal against Karun Nair turned down. A handy medium-pacer, Jennings gets it to nip back in, hitting the back leg. Replays show it would have hit the top of leg stump, an umpire's call. If it had been given, it wouldn't have been overturned.

Dawson has come in fresh and excited and whilst he has limitations as a bowler and doesn't have a great record in red-ball cricket, there is encouragement, but it has reached a stage where Moeen and Rashid have bowled a lot of overs and there is not much left, there is an air of resignation.

We're getting to the stage where Liam Dawson must be pushing the most overs he's ever bowled in an innings. The bloke who isn't even first-choice spinner in the Hampshire side is now in his 42nd set in a Test. Only now is he starting to look tired, twice dropping short for Nair to punch through the off side for four. Nair, remember, was dropped on 34 yesterday. Now he's got 200 in his sights.

Jordan, Lincoln: All this hype about the Indian team is total nonsense, the main reason they're number one is because they've played there last 15 or so matches at home.

Put them on a swinging pitch and then see what they can do. Same with Virat Kholi, yes he's invincible in India, but put him on a swinging English pitch and he averages 10.

Are you sure about that? 75 plays of Driving Home for Christmas in five hours doesn't seem very many. Sub question - how many times would you have to listen to it before you stopped the car and decided that driving home for Christmas is that last thing in the world you want to do. I'll tell you when something interesting happens in the cricket.

Peasey17: Re: 6:39 and Chris Rea, it's about 75.

I suppose you can say that, actually, the umpires have done the right thing because the right decision was made. All we want is consistency, ref. Bruce Oxenford is third ump. Remember his incredulous reaction when Jonny Bairstow reviewed one in the fourth Test? I wonder if he was fined for dissent.

No respite for England and they can't find a wicket from anywhere, just the one today and I'm pleased it went to Liam Dawson, who is still the steadiest of the England spinners.

Very, very strange. Nair is given not out, with replays only used to see if he hit it or not. The decision is correct, because Nair didn't actually hit it. But, in that situation, I'm fairly certain that the umpire can only send it upstairs to see if the ball carried, not if the batsman hit it. Usually, they have to go with what the umpire decided on the field, with the players the only ones who can call for referrals.

It certainly ballooned to Stokes so umpire Fry can ask if it has carried and find out if it has come off the bat as well. It's an abuse of the system in a way.

Are they allowed to check for bat here? I mean, why has Fry gone upstairs? To check for bat, or if the catch has carried?

Wake up! This might be a wicket. Karun Nair reverse sweeps Adil Rashid, with the ball held by Ben Stokes at slip. Initially umpire Fry says no, then speaks to his mate Erasmus at square leg. Upstairs to see if it carried...

Liam Dawson channels his inner Ashley Giles, bowling his left-armers over the wicket just like the King of Spain did to Sachin Tendulkar all those years ago. A Nair single brings up the 100 partnership. I genuinely can't remember a time when England were not fielding.

Howzat seems to have gone out of the game. There is just a general shout. The umpires could say that is not a proper appeal.

I've just seen a suggestion on Twitter that the India scorecard is starting to look like a credit card bill. Nicely put. You fear that England's, after two days in the field, could look like an international phone number. I'll be honest, this is a tough watch. There's only one team in the contest - India are the cat pawing at the England mouse.
