  1. Ind 275-3published at 88.5 overs

    The ball catches the edge of Ajinkya Rahane's bat but he's played it with soft hands and it fall short of the slip cordon. A ball later and Ollie Robinson gets some movement of the pitch and a hint of swing as Rahane plays and misses.

  2. Ind 275-3published at 88.3 overs

    Ollie Robinson trying his best to give England one final wicket in the day, but neither KL Rahul nor Ajinkya Rahane are taking the bait. They're leaving and defending as required.

    Mark: My word this is a toothless England display. Be all over by the third day.

  4. Postpublished at 19:13 British Summer Time 12 August 2021

    Two overs left in the day.

  5. Ind 274-3published at 87.5 overs

    It's been India's day without a shadow. Sam Curran to Ajinkya Rahane but it's relatively unthreatening stuff.

    This current England team is making me nostalgic for the Nineties...

    Sean Bulpitt: England's approach to Test match cricket is embarrassing. No intensity, under prepared and a team that would struggle against the "lesser" test match teams. Unfortunately, we don't have the talent to improve and will struggle to challenge even half decent test teams.

    Ollie Robinson has been really good today - it is hard to believe it is only his third Test. He has shouldered responsibility with no Stuart Broad today, and he has given England control.

  9. Ind 273-3published at 87.0 overs

    An excellent over from Ollie Robinson who has given Ajinkya Rahane a working over.

    Sam Curran replaces James Anderson.

    England have used six reviews in this series so far and they have all been rejected. Ollie Robinson has been the bowler for four of those reviews.

    I seem to remember Ollie Robinson using a few reviews up at Trent Bridge too. Is he the new Stuart Broad?

  12. Not outpublished at 19:09 British Summer Time 12 August 2021

    Ajinkya Rahane survives. The ball was missing the stumps. Not the best use of a review.

    On initial impact I thought it was going down the leg side.

    It was quite close to leg stump, it might be umpire's call.

  15. England reviewpublished at 19:07 British Summer Time 12 August 2021

    Ollie Robinson has hit Ajinkya Rahane on the pad. Joe Root goes for the review.

  16. Ind 273-3published at 86.2 overs

    Ollie Robinson bounds in. Ajinkya Rahane plays one off the bottom of his bat into the turf and it's smothered in the slip cordon.

    A ball later Robinson nips one in and has Rahane playing all around it.

    Testing stuff. Can England nick another wicket?

    I'm purring over that shot. He has timed the ball really well all day. He has been a pleasure to watch.

  18. Ind 273-3published at 85.4 overs

    Four slips in place for James Anderson as he bowls to Ajinkya Rahane who leaves a good ball back of length before gets off the mark with a nudge into the leg side after the England seamer speared one into his pads.

    KL Rahul is still there, though. He pummels Anderson with a sumptuous drive through the covers.

  19. Postpublished at 19:01 British Summer Time 12 August 2021

    Five overs left in the day. Ajinkya Rahane is the new man at the crease for India.

    They have a chance.
