    You just sense in the past three or four overs these two batsmen have gone up a gear or two. They have been going at two and over and if they up it to three you are looking at lead of about 160 at the close. If India then score quickly tomorrow morning it will give them a chance of setting an interesting chase for England and throw everything at them.

    Lead by 117

    WinZiz has the draw at 65%, India at 20 and England at 15 now.

    This partnership has completely changed the outlook of this game.

    Rishabh Pant, in his pads, ready to bat, is lying down in the changing room. Relaxed.

    Alex Bigham: On cricketing logos, we set up a new club at Brockwell Park Nets in SW London earlier this year, but Covid rules meant the nets were often locked up. Some overly keen person (not us!) used a bolt cutter to cut the fence! So we became the ‘Bolt Cutters'.

    Lead by 112

    Cheteshwar Pujara is constantly up the down the wicket at the moment. It is not always in attack, sometimes it is to pad up, but it is effective at the moment.

    England have bowled 16 overs in the hour and a few seconds since tea. That's good. It leaves us with 21 in the day, and we should get all 90 in today.

    It was 125 balls for Ajinkya Rahane's fifty. It was his seventh against England. He has one hundred against them, which was also on this ground.

    A cracking finish in store at Sabina Park in Jamaica, where West Indies are chasing 168 to win the first Test after 19-year-old Jayden Seales' 5-55 helped bowl Pakistan out for 203.

    This has snuck up on me, I'll be honest.

    What a patient, stubborn, high-class knock from Ajinkya Rahane though.

    It is his 36th 50-plus score in Test cricket.

    There are 13 overs to go until that second new ball. England keep trying to change the ball with the umpire. It's been one of those weeks when balls have been an issue, but I don't think the umpires have changed it once!

    Just a single from Moeen Ali's latest over.

    Is it time for Joe Root yet?

    That was well judged by Joe Root in the end. They went up in unison behind the stumps and the crowd went with them for the appeal as well. So the England skipper did well to resist the review.

    Little pat on the back from Curran to Pujara there. CSK team-mates.

  13. Ind 134-3published at 66 overs

    Lead by 107

    Sam Curran is mixing up around and over the wicket here. Not just from over to over, but ball to ball too.

    There's a big celebration from Jos Buttler - throwing the ball up in the air - from the final ball. But Cheteshwar Pujara had hit his pad with his bat, rather than getting an edge on it.

    Joe Root and England wisely opt against the review.

    Good probing over from Curran though.

    A boundary! Ajinkya Rahane gets down well to sweep to Moeen Ali to the square leg boundary.

    Oh, then buzzers. This is sloppy from England and Joe Root isn't happy about it. Mark Wood hares after the ball, and Jos Buttler can't gather the throw cleanly. Jonny Bairstow, at point, hasn't moved a jot to back up.

    There's 10 from that Moeen Ali over.

    A change of ends for Moeen Ali.

    He replaces James Anderson at the Pavillion End.

    Another maiden.

    India have scored 16 runs in 11 overs since tea. Pedestrian.

    How costly could this be?

  20. Ind 121-3published at 63 overs

    Lead by 94

    James Anderson finds a bit of wobble to beat the outside edge of Cheteshwar Pujara. It wobbles after the bat too and Jos Buttler shells it.

    The final ball bounces two or three times on its way through to Buttler.

    This is slow.
