Lead by 330
Craig Overton blocks out the rest of the over.
Virat Kohli pegs it off at the end of the over. His side have fought back well in this session, but he won't be too happy with their performance in the first two days, I wouldn't have thought.

Swattage! That was right in the slot for Overton to swing the bat at.
Lead by 330
Craig Overton!
It is right in the slot from Ravindra Jadeja and the all-rounder just pumps him back over his head for a one-bounce four.
Have a bit of that.

I genuinely do not think I have enough friends that I could convince to come to the cricket dressed as a duck or a banana with me. There's loads of them!

I thought that group dressed in yellow in the crowd were bananas, but they're actually ducks. That wouldn't have helped Sam Curran coming out on a king pair!
Lead by 326
A single apiece of Sam Curran and Craig Overton. They are going to bat sensibly and look to extend England's lead as much as possible by the looks of it.
The Western Terrace are onto "please don't take me home".

The lubricated Western Terrace are taking it up a notch. It's now "Virat, what's the score".
There are eight overs left in the day. We probably won't get through them all in the next 27 minutes.

It also definitely depends on what type of mood Jimmy Anderson is in. He could be asleep or halfway through a crossword.

The declaration won't come tonight, surely? Joe Root was struggling with cramp and what looked like a bad back. He needs the rest!
Here is how Joe Root's sensational innings came to an end.
It was going to take something special to end it, and Jasprit Bumrah delivered it.
Lead by 322
Craig Overton is looking to get bat on ball here. He forces two through point, before picking a single in the same region.
Jasprit Bumrah is overstepping now.
"Ishant, what's the score", sing the Western Terrace.

Overton is playing very expansively already. I wonder if he's been instructed to play his shots from ball one or whether he just fancies feeling bat on ball early on.
Lead by 318
Four more!
Craig Overton slashes, and slashes hard, and the ball goes over the slip cordon and away to the boundary.

Ben: It's funny how little I mind an England style collapse when it starts at 350-3.
Lead by 314
Sam Curran could be very dangerous for England and India.
Half an hour or so of him and the lead will have increased by another 30 or so without you really noticing.
He picks up his second boundary by going deep in his crease and back cutting past third. Lovely shot.

When England started the summer, their tail was looking a concern with Wood, Anderson and Broad in there. Now with Robinson at 10, it looks so much more threatening.
Lead by 310
Sam Curran keeps the strike with a drive down the ground, that Jasprit Bumrah gets fingertips on, to keep it to a single.
If you were England what would you do here? Thumbs up for bat on, thumbs down for declare and have a bowl.
But Alastair, what if England took it out of India's control...?

It's a difficult situation for India. They want to get England all out but they really won't want a few tricky overs of Jimmy Anderson at the end of the day under floodlights.
