There's a chat between the players and the umpires at the end of the over...
The two umpires are convening.

We do not want to be chasing over 250 on a pitch tearing apart like this.

Ramps is right. There was a slip, a short leg, a silly point and initially a leg slip before Rory Burns moved to gully.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are remonstrating on the India balcony. Throwing their arms about, gesticulating in anger.
Their argument is sort of lost when Ishant Sharma drives the final ball for a couple.

Former England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland are really going after Ishant Sharma, and rightly so. There are four men around the bat.

Remember that West Indies were chasing 168 to beat Pakistan in the first Test at Sabina Park?
Well, they slipped to 16-3 before recovering somewhat. It should be a good finish...

Virat Kohli isn't too happy about something on the India balcony.
The light, I think.
He is trying to get someone's attention on the outfield, and then stands up and looks up to the sky.

Kamran Ali: The two men (Wood & Ali) who weren’t even part of the first Test match are proving to be the main weapons in this Test.

Rishabh Pant takes a single from the fifth and Ishant Sharma is up to the task of keeping the final ball out.
The balance of this Test has swung again.

The new ball is available, but England have opted against taking it at this stage.
The light meter came out with the ball, so that may be the reason why.

Mark Wood did return very briefly. He and Joe Root spoke to umpire Richard Illingworth about whether Wood could bowl or not. The reaction must have been negative because Wood ran straight back off again.
Here's the strapping he had applied in the changing room.

Ishant Sharma has been promoted above Mohammed Shami by the way.

Former England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialAny top-class spinner in English cricket history ever would have been proud of that dismissal. It's a crucial wicket because it brings in, what I shall politely call, India's lower order.

Craig: Mooen - absolute Jaffa.
Olly Monk: Moeen Ali showing he truly is a Test match quality spinner with balls like that. England have to manage him correctly moving forward keep him in the right head space and on his game.

BBC Test Match SpecialAn absolute peach from Moeen Ali! A spin bowler enjoys a delivery like that.

Jadeja b Moeen 3 (175-6)
Enjoy it no more, Robin!
Moeen Ali finds a little bit of spin, and it beats the defence of Ravindra Jadeja, who was on the back foot. The ball crashes into off stump and England wheel off in celebrate.
They have taken three wickets for 20 runs in a six and a bit over spell.
They are into the bowlers.
