    Sam Curran is one of those bowlers who can look really innocuous but then get a wicket from absolutely nowhere.

  2. Ind 95-1published at 40 overs

    Oh! Sam Curran finds a little bit of in-swing, and Cheteshwar Pujara is a little late on the flick, but still picks up four.

    It skimmed through the air a little bit, but thankfully for India it was clear of any fielders.

    Talking of Cheteshwar Pujara finding some form, here are some of his best moments so far.

    India have played so well. They could have easily lost four or five wickets but they've left the ball well, been patient and put the bad ball away. It's been remarkable how quickly Pujara has turned his form around.

  5. Ind 89-1published at 39 overs

    A maiden from James Anderson. That may be his lot for this session.

    England have only bowled 20 overs in this session so far. We've only got 25 minutes until tea. They are well behind the rate.

    No need to panic for England. Given Kohli's form we only need one more wicket and we're into the tail...

    Here are some highlights from Rohit Sharma's half-century.

    He's just got to keep going.

    It's been a real hard-working half-century from Rohit Sharma. He's really had to battle for it.

    Ind 89-1

    A brilliant, gutsy half-century from Rohit Sharma - his 14th in Tests.

    Too full from Curran. I understand that he's trying to get the ball to swing but Rohit is well set, he won't miss out.

    Oh my! Rohit Sharma brings up the fifty partnership with a glorious straight drive, before playing a textbook cover drive.

    He's never got a century outside of India, don't forget. He's up to 49.

    Well, it probably wouldn't be in my top 10 views of all time.

    How would you rate the view of Leeds from here?

  14. Ind 80-1published at 37 overs

    Just a single from the over as Rohit Sharma works just wide of mid-on.

    England are going to make a change, but it will be Sam Curran to replace Ollie Robinson.

    James Anderson was stretching his calf after that over, though, so it may not be too long before we see Moeen Ali's spin.

    There's been a lot of playing and missing, the ball is still moving around a bit but England haven't been able to find the edge. Is it time for Moeen Ali?

  16. Ind 79-1published at 36 overs

    Ollie Robinson is going wider and wider on the crease here, as he looks to generate a point of difference and find that breakthrough that England want.

    This is slowly becoming an example of why Chris Silverwood and Joe Root yearn for a Jofra Archer or Mark Wood in their side.

    The Barmy Army are getting going now. They realise England are desperate for a wicket.

    The trumpet starts blaring out around Headingley, and there is singing, clapping and cheering from the rest of the crowd. They get a clap of appreciation from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow.

    Rohit Sharma is solid in defence, though. Like really solid. He gets a bit of a stare from James Anderson too.

    Pretty much. I occasionally write a few words, too, but they are rarely any good.

    So is it just me, or does Stephan's taxpayer-funded BBC job appear to comprise little more than going to the cricket, eating, drinking, somehow exiting and re-entering the ground, and reporting on beer snakes, DJs and the best fancy dress of the day. Grunt. Where do I apply?!
