  1. Ind 212-2

    One more over until the new ball, five remaining in the day.

    If Root wants to use his seamers, it's likely the umpires will call it a day for bad light.

  2. Ind 210-2

    How's that for reactions?! Pujara smashes a four to square leg and umpire Richard Kettleborough pulls out a Matrix-style dodge to avoid it.

    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It is looking too easy for India to milk the runs off the spinners. If this goes on for a few more overs the lead could be down to about 120.

  4. Ind 206-2

    Trail by 148

    Joe Root drops slightly short and Kohli pounces, pulling firmly through midwicket.

  5. A battered cheeseburger? Is that a thing!?

    It's Friday so surely it's the chippy? Battered cheese burger for me please.

  7. Ind 200-2

    Trail by 154

    Jos Buttler goes up all by himself for an lbw with Pujara just padding the ball away to short leg.

    Nobody else was interested and the replay proves why - miles over the top.

    India will remember what they achieved in Australia and genuinely believe they can win this. By this time tomorrow we may well have a cracking Test match on the go.

    I've just had a look at the WinViz and it is 86% England at the moment.

    The new ball will have an impact, but if there is some resistance after that I will keep an eye on the WinViz.

  10. Ind 199-2

    Trail by 155

    Fair play to India. They're grinding England down here - they are just ticking down to the new ball, but I doubt they'll be able to bowl any more pace tonight under this light.

  11. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    This has been quite a useful period for England in terms of chipping away at the overs till the new ball.

  12. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Full credit to India. It hasn't been easy batting conditions.

  13. Ind 196-2

    Trail by 158

    Is Craig Overton injured?! He literally does the most gentle jog across the outfield and somehow ends up sitting on the floor in pain.

    He carries on, though, thankfully.

    It's not easy for batting out there - it's dark, bit of bounce - but Kohli and Pujara are still looking pretty solid. England are flagging, I'd say.

  14. Not much has happened for a while. Shall we watch Jonny Bairstow's catch again?

    Yeah, why not.

  15. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That has spun massively! It is a piece of real fortune.

  16. Ind 193-2

    Trail by 161

    Oh, nearly! Kohli prods forward, misses and the ball just goes over the top of the stumps! It beats Buttler, too. Root can't believe it.

  17. Ind 190-2

    Well, despite the bad light, the umpires are keeping them out there.

    Can England sneak a wicket before close?!

  18. Ind 185-2

    Another maiden, this time by Joe Root.

    There might not be much happening but the India fans in the crowd are having a great time.

    Virat Kohli has such a steely, determined look in his eyes.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    It is quite hard to see the ball from here if I'm honest.

  20. Ind 185-2

    Pujara 77, Kohli 32

    Kohli easily negotiates a Moeen Ali maiden. He has a shake of his head as he meets Pujara for a chat - I think he's keen to go off.
