    I don't think he's nicked this.

  2. It was lovely from Ishant, squaring Jos Buttler up, but has he hit it?

  3. Umpire review

    England were 133-1, weren't they? That did happen?

    Oh, hello. Virat Kohli thinks he's got Jos Buttler caught off a leading edge, but the umpires want to check it has carried. The soft signal is out.

  4. There's six overs left in the day.

    A match official has emerged, clutching two cardboard boxes which I assume is filled with shiny new Dukes. Ishant is going to carry on.

    This is one of the greatest ever cakes we've received on TMS - but how do you cut it?

  6. Eng 182-7

    Buttler 4, Rashid 0

    Ravi Jadeja is going to continue, and he gets the ball to spin out of the footholes that have started appearing. It turns away from Adil Rashid, though, and Rashid lets the rest of the over go harmlessly by.

    Hmm. Mohammed Shami, fielding at extra cover, goes down in installments as he tries to complete a regulation bit of fielding. He's holding his groin and looks in a bit of discomfort.

  7. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

    We haven't seen a proper opening partnership all summer but now we have, it's the middle and lower order that are struggling.

  8. Eng 181-7

    Adil Rashid sees off Ishant's final delivery.

    This has been a weird day.

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    He was leaving that but he didn't quite get his bat out of the way quickly enough. What a strange scorecard this is.

    WICKET

    Curran c Pant b Ishant 0 (Eng 181-7)

    Gone!

    That is a horrible way to get out. Sam Curran tries to leave his second ball from Ishant Sharma, and he doesn't quite manage it. The ball snicks off the bottom of the bat and goes through to the keeper. This is very, very good from India. Curran is the third England batsman to notch a duck.

  11. Eng 181-6

    Sam Curran is in, and he's able to duck under a horrible short ball from Ishant Sharma that goes whizzing away.

    Rishbah Pant looks suitably miffed as the umpire signals four byes.

  12. Jonathan Agnew

    India have waited for that and they've deserved it.

    Fair play to Moeen Ali for digging in and fighting. He played and missed at so many of those deliveries but finally nicks one.

    WICKET

    Moeen c Pant b Ishant 50 (Eng 177-6)

    Moeen's nicked one!

    Oh, that is the slightest of edges, barely audible on the stump mic. It's another fine delivery from Ishant Sharma, the ball kissing the outside edge as Moeen pushes forward. That's Ishant's second wicket of the day.

  14. Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are loosening themselves up, but Ishant and the old ball will continue for the time being.

  15. 50 runs

    50 for Moeen

    Eng 177-5

    There it is!

    Moeen picks the gap in the covers and wanders leisurely through for a single. He gets a warm round of applause from The Oval crowd. Just over four hours at the crease now for England's number three.

    Peter John Watson: Where does Bairstow fit into this England team? Not good enough to bat five or above. Stokes solid at six, Buttler solid at seven, Pope and Burns knocking on the door...

    David Beckett: Geoffrey Boycott can't say that Bairstow is batting too high when he was at the crease in the 65th over. In the last Test, he was dismissed in the 13th and 32nd overs. Position is almost irrelevant when wickets fall quickly.

  17. Eng 176-5

    Moeen 49, Buttler 3

    Another delivery goes zipping past Moeen's outside edge from Ishant Sharma, although it's too short to entice Moeen into having a tickle at it.

    Moeen pushes a single from the final ball of the over to take himself within touching distance of a half-century.

  18. new ball

    New ball available

    India can take the new ball, should they wish.

    They're sticking with the old one for the time being, as Ishant carries on.

  19. Eng 175-5

    Moeen has been at the crease for 239 minutes and faced 156 balls for his unbeaten 48. The value of patience.

    A little nurdle off the legs brings him a single from Ravi Jadeja's first ball, before Jos Buttler works a couple through point.

    Common logic is that England have lots of number 6s, but Moeen and Stokes both bat at 3 in first class cricket, Bairstow at 5 and even Woakes has batted up the order occasionally. We aren't finding lots of middle order batsmen, we are making them.
