    That is a tennis shot! It's an incredible blow - you wouldn't be surprised if you saw it in the last over of a T20 match.

  2. 6 runs

    Ind 144-5

    Rahul 93, Pant 4

    KL Rahul shuffles away to leg and launches a Ben Stokes short ball into the stands over cover.

    What a strike! This is a Test, right?

  3. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Rajesh Sharma: This Test must be right up there for difference between average run per wicket in morning and evening sessions. Hardly any wickets in the morning sessions and lots in the evening ones.

  4. Ind 138-5

    Rahul 87, Pant 4

    Moeen Ali drifts wide and KL Rahul reverse sweeps exquisitely for four.

    Moeen straightens up in reply and Rahul regular sweeps it crisply away for four more.

    He doesn't quite get hold of another reverse sweep but it's good enough for a single.

    That's Rahul onto 87 and firmly on his way to guaranteeing at least his short-term future in this India side.

  5. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Tim Shearer: Surely one of the busiest men this summer has been the India physio. He always seems to be smiling too.

  6. It's not been a bad plan getting Ben Stokes to bowl some short stuff so far...

  7. Ind 129-5

    England need five wickets to win

    Haha. Ben Stokes continues with the short stuff and, after the fourth ball, umpire Joel Wilson signals that is one for the over.

    Kumar Dharmasena, laughing, quickly corrects him by holding up two fingers.

    KL Rahul connects with a pull shot to finish but Moeen Ali does well at fine leg to keep it to one.

    After all that fuss about Rashid, he's hardly bowled in the series.

  9. KL Rahul has scored 77 out of India's 128 runs so far.

    Shots like this are why...

  11. Ind 128-5

    KL Rahul is OK to continue for now.

    Moeen Ali rips one past the outside edge of Rishabh Pant's bat. Superb ball to the left-hander from round the wicket.

    But Moeen then strays too short and Pant swipes it emphatically for four through mid-wicket.

  12. KL Rahul is in some pain, doing a few stretches at the non-striker's end.

    A back injury perhaps?

    India's sprinting, smiling physio is out there in a flash.

  13. Ind 123-5

    KL Rahul tries to sweep Moeen Ali and misses, with the ball striking the pads.

    Big appeal but not out. That was hitting outside the line.

  14. TMS box

    The view from the TMS box.

  15. Ind 121-5

    England need five wickets to win

    New man Rishabh Pant defends his first ball then sways away from another well-directed bumper.

    Superb over from Stokes.

  16. One brings two as the old adage goes.

    Here is the one...

  17. Geoffrey Boycott
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    That's beautiful cricket from Stokes, not only to figure out that Vihari doesn't play short stuff very well, then to execute the plan. That's as good a bit of cricket you will get today.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Vihari c Bairstow b Stokes 0 (Ind 121-5)

    And the short-pitched plan works!

    Ben Stokes finds some testing lift from just back of a length and on a perfect line.

    Hanuma Vihari fends unsteadily at it and the ball feathers the edge with Jonny Bairstow completing the catch behind.

    The debutant is out for a duck and England sense they could finish this one off quickly now.

  19. Ind 121-4

    And Ben Stokes starts with one that gets big on KL Rahul and he guides it through vacant first slip for a single.

    England going short for a spell here?

  20. Can't see Alastair Cook bowling with plenty of wickets still to get and a game to win.

    You can see Ben Stokes bowling though.

    And here he is...
