    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    India's bowlers are going to be racing to the massage table at the end of the day.

  2. Close of play - Eng 423-8

    Lead by 345

    What a day for England.

    Yes, they've lost eight wickets, but they've scored 303 runs and opened up a mammoth 345-run lead.

    Joe Root claps his batters off.

  3. Not out

    He's whacked it!

    Terrible review.

  4. India review

    Is Ollie Robinson lbw from the final ball of the day?

    Alex Wharf says no and Virat Kohli decides to send it upstairs.

  5. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a poor ball, it's short and wide and Overton won't miss out on that even if it's the last over of the day.

    I'm not quite sure why Ishant Sharma is bowling here. He looks exhausted.

  6. Eng 422-8

    Lead by 344

    I've lost count of how many times Kal, Ffion and I have written 'short and wide' in the last two days.

    Ishant Sharma has been the most culpable, and Craig Overton climbs into the cut shot and sends the ball racing to the cover boundary.

  7. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Joe Root and Rory Burns are England's highest run scorers in 2021. But Root is 974 runs ahead.

  8. Eng 418-8

    Lead by 340

    Mohammed Siraj gets through his over, helped by stretching in between every ball.

    That was his 23rd over, but India really can't afford for him to go down with an injury.

    The fourth Test starts at The Oval on Friday 3 September, so it is a pretty quick turnaround.

  9. We've had a brief delay while Mohammed Siraj received some treatment.

    That may help James Anderson's case for staying in the changing room.

  10. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    If England lose their ninth wicket, Jimmy Anderson will not want to go out there. It will undoubtedly be a barrage of short stuff if he does have to bat.

  11. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Mohammed Siraj has a big smile on his face because Sam Curran has just popped a short ball straight into the hands of the fielder at square leg. It's been a long, long day for these bowlers.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Curran c sub (Agarwal) b Siraj 15 (Eng 418-8)

    Short, pulled, out!

    Mohammed Siraj bangs one in, and Sam Curran looks to take it on but it straight down the throat of Mayank Agarwal on the deep square boundary.

    Siraj has a sheepish look on his face.

  13. Eng 418-7

    Lead by 340

    The problem is with 127 overs in the tank, Virat's bowlers are absolutely shattered. They are going to be fighting for that massage bed when they got off the field.

    Craig Overton and Sam Curran exchange singles to end the over.

    Just over 10 minutes of day two left.

  14. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    There's a look of real pain on Virat Kohli's face at the moment. It's one thing Joe Root taking your attack apart but when the lower order start playing like accomplished batters, that hurts.

  15. Eng 416-7

    Lead by 338

    Plenty of in-drift for Ishant Sharma and Craig Overton just flicks it on its way through mid-wicket.

    Glorious that.

  17. Eng 411-7

    Lead by 333

    Hit em!

    Sam Curran looks to steal a quick single, and Ravindra Jadeja has to run around the ball, which allows Curran to get home.

    The throw missed anyway, but a direct hit would have been interesting, despite the half dive from Curran.

  18. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    I can see why England are happy to carry on batting. Give their bowlers a full day of rest, other than these two now obviously, and let them go for it tomorrow.

  19. Eng 410-7

    Lead by 332

    Sam Curran slices Mohammed Siraj over mid-off for a couple.

    Joe Root is in his training kit on the England balcony, so I think we can safely say that the hosts won't be declaring tonight.

  20. Here's how Moeen Ali was out. He'll be disappointed.
