    Kohli flicks at his first ball that's going down the leg side, Bairstow gives an optimistic appeal and the crowd is suddenly very into this game.

    All of a sudden England have Virat Kohli at the crease with a brand new ball in hand. Could this be the game changer?!

    Rohit was done for lack of pace. It was a short ball he could have hit whether he wanted. He has showed hoiked it round to Chris Woakes.

    That is incredible! The first ball of the new ball.

    Of all the balls bowled at Rohit Sharma today surely that was the least likely to get him out.

    Rohit c Woakes b Robinson 127 (Ind 236-2)

    First delivery with the new ball - can you believe it?!

    I mean, it's not a lovely outswinger that takes the edge and flies to slip. It's a half tracker that Rohit has pulled straight to deep square leg. As I said, cricket is silly.

    The new ball is going to decide England's fate one way or the other.

    Lead by 137

    Is this even the same pitch that England were 62-5 on yesterday? Cricket is so silly sometimes.

    And now is the big moment as England's only hope comes on to the field: the new ball.

  9. Ind 233-1published at 79 overs

    Lead by 134

    Another skip down the wicket, another straight drive for four - this time to Rohit Sharma.

    And that's the 150 partnership.

    Can't help but feel Tobias Skelton Roland-Jones should be playing instead of Overton.

    Pujara charges down the wicket to Moeen and drives firmly for four.

    Authoritative.

  12. Ind 223-1published at 77 overs

    Lead by 124

    Rohit and Pujara practically walk a single, just rubbing it in to England how effortless they're finding batting at the moment.

    Peter Ernest: All this talk of point of difference in our bowling, yet no mention of Jack Leach. The guy who was one of the best players over the winter, averages 29 and bowled us to a Test win the last time we played at The Oval.

    Lead by 123

    England rattling through the final overs before they can take the new ball, with spin at both ends as Moeen Ali completes another innocuous over.

    It honestly feels like these two have been batting for years. Here's how Pujara got to his half-century.

    Perfectly timed text, Dale.

    The over is finished in the blink of an eye without much to talk about. Anyone got any fun Saturday night plans?

    Why on earth hasn't Root brought himself to bowl! He might just find one of those weird yet brilliant deliveries.

    And now Joe Root's having a bowl. Much like when England bat, he must be thinking, 'Fine, I'll do it all myself then.'

    Will it work?

  19. Ind 216-1published at 74 overs

    Lead by 117

    Overton's short ball draws an attempted pull from Pujara, Bairstow takes the ball and gives a very polite appeal that absolutely no one follows.

    And then ... what?! Rohit gives himself room outside leg stump, flays the ball through the huge gap on the off side and Craig Overton - the bowler! - completes a long, long chase to the boundary to restrict it to three.

    Unsurprisingly he looks exhausted bowling the final ball after that.
