Shami strays too straight onto Moeen's pads and the England number three easily clips it away for one.

And so does Cook, scampering a quicker single.

Moeen then plays and misses yet again.

That boundary from Alastair Cook brought up the 50 partnership from 158 balls with five fours.

Jadeja over-pitches and Cook gets forward to punch down the ground for four. Impeccable timing.

If you missed the tribute to Alastair Cook at lunch - here is the podcast for your listening pleasure...

Moeen Ali wafts wildly at a full but wide delivery.

It's that length that is scrambling Moeen's mind, with Mohammed Shami hitting the right spot, even if the line is sometimes awry.

And again, Moeen drives loosely at one that's pitched full but that he could easily leave on line.

A maiden for the frustrated Shami.

Moeen Ali just works a single into leg off Ravindra Jadeja.

This is Alastair Cook's 57th Test half-century. It came in 200 minutes and from 139 balls, with six fours.

Everyone around the ground is rising for Alastair Cook. It shows you what great affection Cook is held in. A lot of people here won't see him bat again, and they're making the most of it.

50 for Cookpublished at 47 overs

Mohammed Shami strays a touch too full and Alastair Cook punches it down the ground for a couple.

That's fifty for Cook in his final Test and the crowd acknowledge his knock with a rapturous ovation.

The man himself will know that is only half the job done.

Juxtaposed: Cook can make this his last innings. Score a double hundred and India to follow on and lose by an innings.

Neil Virani: England have been slightly better, especially in the crunch moments, but the toss has played a MASSIVE part in this series.

Jadeja drags it down and Cook rocks back to crash it through the covers for four.

This is not a drill - England have reached 100 for the loss of only one wicket.

Luke Bailey: As someone who recently scored a dull as ditchwater 40 not out from about 30 overs in a 40 overs per side 3rd XI game, I can really get behind this trench warfare effort by England.

Another play and miss, this time from Moeen Ali as Mohammed Shami nibbles it past the outside edge. Superb line and length from India's seamers since lunch.

Oof. That's loose from Moeen. Shami sends it down wide and short but England's number three drives at it unnecessarily.

Wow. Shami whips the fifth ball between Moeen's bat and body, somehow just missing the stumps as Pant also can't prevent the ball flying past and away for four byes.

Nine quid! For that price, I want it to be made from the tears of a unicorn.

Cook has just looked a little skittish in the past two overs.

Eek. Alastair Cook aims a cut at Ravindra Jadeja but the ball is too close to him and just evades the edge.

Shami is bowling a terrific line, and at good pace, asking questions of Cook around that off stump.

Shami beats the outside edge of Cook's bat twice in a row with two more peaches from round the wicket.

Cook gets bat on ball off the last but picks out the fielder. No run and that's a fine maiden for Shami.

And that'll be drinks.
