Ian Davies: Stokes cannot bat (yet) in the subcontinent. Geoffrey Boycott as usual is right. We cannot defend.

Simon George: How effective with bat and ball has Stokes been this winter? He seems to have been nullified by these teams.

There might well have been an edge on that one from Buttler in the previous over, a little squiggle appeared on the ultra edge, so it could have been six down. The attacking batsman looks ok against Mishra but is still to get off the mark.

Moeen's a wonderful batsman, but he seems completely unadaptable. And even Mishra's probably surprised he's still bowling now and not Ashwin.

Buttler is the new man. was there an edge on this one? It's not important because Pujara could not cling on to it diving backwards.

Absolutely brainless. Simple as that. They just don't learn. They're better than this - they've got through half-an-hour, but they're frightened to death of defending because they're rubbish at it. They have no idea how to play the turning ball. Coaches and directors of cricket get paid fortunes for this.

It's ridiculous that Ashwin hasn't bowled since tea. Crazy.

Moeen is more in control of the sweep against Mishra and collects another single. He would surely be expecting to face an Ashwin-Jadeja combination.

I don't think our batsmen have confidence that their defence is sound enough to stay in. I think they want to put the pressure back on the bowlers by attacking - and that's not the right way to play.

Less of that please Moeen. It's hesitant against Jadeja, it comes off bat and pad and loops up towards short leg, but the fielder is slow to react and cannot get there. Stokes then has a wild lunge at one that misses everything and goes away for four byes, but England are still 91 behind and a long way from the safety of India having to bat.

Mishra again, slip, leg slip and short leg. He tempts Stokes with a loopy one outside off stump and a confident stroke down the ground brings the left-hander his fourth four, to virtual silence from the home crowd.

That's the beauty of having neutral umpires. All teams used to think they were badly done by, with home umpires. These days, even if they get it wrong, you know it's an honest mistake.

Stokes collects four but it was an agricultural heave against the spin of Jadeja and it was far from in the middle of the bat. Plenty of appealing from the home team but nothing close in this session yet.

I'm all for Jadeja bowling, but Ashwin has got Stokes out five times! We'd look for that, wouldn't we?!

A Mishra maiden and we look at minimum number of overs left column anxiously, like a man glancing anxiously at his watch at a train station waiting for his date to arrive.

Moeen flicks Jadeja into the leg side and collects three. It's just the thought of Jos Buttler in next. Wonderful player but maybe not ideal for these circumstances.  

Four men crouching around the bat but Moeen still opts for the front front slog over mid-wicket and it brings him his fourth boundary.
