    That's not a great shot. It was a fine innings, but he's on his way.

    WICKET

    Pant c Moeen b Rashid 114 (Ind 328-7)

    England's spin twins combine to take a huge wicket.

    Adil Rashid tricks Rishabh Pant with a well-disguised googly and the India keeper skies it out towards long-off while aiming towards mid-wicket.

    Moeen Ali runs round, steadies himself and snaffles the catch.

    An thrilling, manic innings from Pant comes to an end. It was looking like Pant was battering Rashid out of the Sri Lanka tour but the leggie has stuck to his task admirably to swing the match back England's way.

    Billy Paine: Shane who?

  4. You are going to want to keep hitting the play button on this one again and again...

  5. Ind 326-6

    Target 464

    Ravindra Jadeja flaps his bat at a wide one from James Anderson but wisely gets it out of the way in time.

    Otherwise he leaves well alone. That's a maiden.

    That turned a long, long way. Rahul was just trying to angle it for a single. Getting the runs was always going to be difficult.

    Max: A boomerang from Rashid. Wow, what a ball, you gotta love Test cricket.

  8. Ind 326-6

    England need four wickets to win

    Pant is OK to continue and wisely defends the last.

  9. Ind 326-6

    Rishabh Pant tries to reverse paddle-drive and ends up rolling his right ankle.

    The India physio is back out again.

  10. Ind 326-6

    England think they've got Rishabh Pant top-edging on the sweep.

    Huge appeal but not given. The hosts have no reviews left.

    But replays show that hit his arm, not bat or glove.

    Neil Yelland: That ball from Rashid is utterly absurd. Any more turn and it would have come back to him.

  12. Ind 326-6

    New man Ravindra Jadeja will certainly put up a fight.

    But Adil Rashid looks like a completely new bowler. He gets one to fizz into Jadeja and it just about deflects away for a single.

  13. Geoffrey Boycott

    Shane Warne ball! It pitched two feet outside leg stump, into the footmarks. It turned that much it hit him on the pad and went into the stumps.

    WICKET

    Rahul b Rashid 149 (Ind 325-6)

    Adil Rashid has just done his very best Shane Warne impression. Think the ball that bowled Andrew Strauss in 2005.

    Test cricket is the greatest.

    The under-fire England leg-spinner absolutely rips one from miles down leg to flick the top of KL Rahul's off stump. It's a sublime ball. Incredible.

    And it needed something remarkable to remove Rahul. A beautiful innings comes to an end and the India opener receives a rapturous reception.

  15. Ind 325-5

    England are perhaps tempted to persevere with an old ball that won't fly as quickly off the bat while Rishabh Pant tries to attack.

    James Anderson goes round the wicket to the India keeper, hanging a long way outside off, trying to tempt him. But Pant stays disciplined and leaves well alone.

    As bizarre as it is, given the game situation at the start of day five, England will now be glad to only concede one off an over.

  16. England are not taking the new ball.

  17. How's stat?!

    Andrew Samson
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    It's only the second time there has been a 200-partnership for the sixth wicket in the fourth innings of a Test.

    Peter Harrison: I put a sneaky quid on India just after lunch at 33-1, which I thought was a bit low... worth a quid though.

  19. Ind 324-5

    Need 140 runs to win

    Pant does defend the last ball of the over.

  20. Ind 324-5

    Pant does of course not settle down and tries to smack Rashid out of the stadium.

    He misses, but so does Bairstow and it's away for four byes.

    That's the 200 partnership. What an amazing feat from Rahul and Pant.
