    I suspect we'll need the floodlights on to get through all the overs today.

    Jadeja 18-0-44-1

    Hello. Turn for Ravi Jadeja, as Moeen comes dancing down the wicket and gets struck on the pad as a result.

    Here he comes again, driving hard, but Jadeja is quick to cut off the ball. Another half-hearted lbw appeal is turned down by the umpire, Moeen comfortably outside the line, before the number three nabs a quick single from the final ball of the over.

    Joe Root stop trying to flick the ball off your pads in front of the stumps, you're a very good player but no Viv Richards.

    So Root bats at four, comes in at a decent score, gets a duck. Maybe the problem is actually his technique?

    Moeen 36, Stokes 3

    Mohammed Shami picks up where he left off, beating Moeen's outside edge, befoer another delivery swings viciously down the leg side. Rishabh Pant dives after it, but he can't get glove on ball, and that'll be four byes.

    Virat Kohli jogs over for a chat before the final ball of the over, but Stokes defends it comfortably.

    One or two more wickets and England are in lots of trouble. At least Alastair Cook might get another go in the second innings now...

    Moeen drives Jadeja nicely for a single, but that's the sole run from the over as a wristy bit of work from Ben Stokes is cut off by the tumbling fielder at mid-on.

    Adam Savoury: The problem with Geoffrey saying that Bairstow is too high is that Stokes, Curran and Buttler would also be batting too high at number five, and arguably Moeen is too high at three. Maybe we just don't have many batsmen...

    Ben Stokes keeps on walking down the wicket, but he can't do anything more than defend.

    A maiden.

    A double change for India, with Mohammed Shami replacing Ishant Sharma.

    Here's how that top-order collapse played out.

  11. Eng 140-4published at 68 overs

    Ravindra Jadeja is back into the attack, and he's promptly guided away for a single by Moeen.

    Ben Stokes turns the ball around the corner to get himself off the mark, before he and Moeen exchange a series of singles to keep things ticking along.

    Jonny Bairstow is batting too high.

    He's not a batsman. He's a wicketkeeper who bats. It's totally different.

    Ishant 17-8-22-1

    Ben Stokes has a little nibble at an angled Ishant delivery that moves away at the last second, before he comes down the pitch and turns the ball uppishly towards cover. Still, moving forward to cover the swing isn't a bad idea.

    Another maiden. India have kept such tight control over that run rate.

    Imagine Moeen cementing his place at number three with a big innings - in addition to being the team's premier spinner. Pivotal!

    Mick Jagger, watching on from one of the hospitality boxes, looks faintly bemused by proceedings out in the middle.

    Moeen ignores a leggy tempter from Jasprit Bumrah and then calmly plays out a maiden.

    Thinking of the amount of times that Joe Root has been lbw in that fashion in recent months - falling over a full ball, playing around the front pad - it is a style of dismissal that has gone from momentary lapse to full-blown weakness.

    Speaking of familiar dismissals. Bairstow, leg-side of the ball, playing away from his body. Sometimes you wonder if the idea of limited-overs cricketing affecting the Test game is overstated. Other times....

  17. Eng 134-4published at 65 overs

    Oh! Ben Stokes edges Ishant's final delivery just short of a tumbling Virat Kohli at third slip.

    England have lost three wickets and scored 11 runs since tea.

    At the moment, it feels like any ball could bring a wicket.

    Right. Well. Here's Ben Stokes.

    India have ripped out England's middle order, just like that.

    Cook, Root, Bairstow - boom, boom, boom.
