  1. England reviewpublished at 14:28 British Summer Time 27 August 2021

    Has Ollie Robinson got Rohit Sharma out lbw?

    Robinson really likes it, and Joe Root reviews fairly quickly.

    He says 'high?' to the umpire after he sends it upstairs.

    Much has been said of Craig Overton's improvement in this Test since he last played for England. He's bowled 20.4 overs with 10 maidens and has figures of 4-32.

    This is an absolutely rapid innings for Pujara.

  4. Ind 69-1published at 29 overs

    Trail by 285

    Good over for India, and Cheteshwar Pujara.

    He guides four down to the third boundary, but driving beautifully through the covers.

    Both kept Haseeb Hameed and Dawid Malan interested, but the ball wins on both occasions.

    Pukara is up to 22 off 28 balls.

    Oh yeah, I was. But never mean. Probably just really annoying.

    I can imagine you were a bit chirpy on the cricket pitch, Ebony.

    Has anyone considered getting an image of that Bairstow catch tattooed on their forehead?

    It was an interesting shot. I think Rohit was trying to play it straight, but it wasn't controlled and came high off the bat. He got a bit lucky.

  9. Ind 61-1published at 28 overs

    Trail by 293

    What's happened there? Rohit Sharma looks to drive, but plinks it slightly and it goes over the head of Moeen Ali at mid-off and away for a couple.

    That's a better shot, though. Ollie Robinson over-pitches slightly, and Rohit drives away to the boundary. There's words between the two as well.

    Exhibit A and B of England not getting it right to Cheteshwar Pujara.

    Overton is barely giving anything away at the moment.

  12. Ind 53-1published at 27 overs

    Another maiden from Craig Overton.

    That is three in a row from England now. Will the built-up pressure tell?

    Anderson started off bowling inswingers to Pujara, which didn't quite work. It looks now like he's going back to basics, bowling an off-stump line.

    I know Cheteshwar Pujara isn't everyone's come of tea, but I'm a little bit obsessed.

    When he leaves the ball, which he does superbly as James Anderson gets one to move in towards his off stump, he watches the ball all the way back to the bowler.

    From Jos Buttler, to Joe Root, to Rory Burns at gully, to cover, to mid-off, to the bowler.

    A piece of art.

    People leave the ground for lunch during a Test match? Since when?

    When I go to Old Trafford in a couple of weeks I'll just be going with a massive hamper of sandwiches, sausage rolls, crisps and treats.

    I thought that was what everyone did? Not popped off down the local chippy or kebab house.

    Lunchtime outside Headingley is its own bustling community. The takeaways have queues out of the door and all of the outdoor seating at the Headingley Taps is taken by men who might not return to the ground until tea, if at all. There's also a surprising number of touts. Surely lunchtime touting isn't lucrative?

    Better from Craig Overton.

    He's nice and tight, on Rohit Sharma's stumps, testing out his defence.

    A maiden.

    England have bowled poorly at Pujara. He's had a couple of half-volleys that he's gratefully put away. But England look as if they're searching for his wicket instead of sticking to the basics.

  20. Ind 53-1published at 24 overs

    Trail by 301

    Offt! Beauty! James Anderson gets one to jag past the outside edge of Rohit Sharma, who gives Jimmy a little nod in appreciation. That was almost too good.

    Rohit gets off strike with three down to third, before Anderson gives Pujara another ball to work off his pads and away to the boundary. England's bowling to Pujara has been pretty sub-standard.
