  1. India 372-6

    Subs galore for England - Dan Lawrence is on as Ollie Pope has disappeared now as well.

  2. India 371-6

    Lead by 272

    Sam Billings is on for Chris Woakes, who has nipped off to change his shirt, so Ollie Robinson will trundle in.

    Jon Evans: Can't help but feel that this flat-track road will be made to look like a minefield when England bat...

    Yes Jon, why does that always seem to happen?

    Someone behind me has just shouted "put Silverwood on!" I'm not sure that's going to help...

    Twenty years ago, maybe - the England coach was rapid at times.

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    What a time to get a partnership together for India.

  6. Pant goes up and over

    A few more of these and the game becomes ever more out of England's reach...

  7. India 370-6

    Woakes strikes Pant on the leg but there's no appeal - England have no reviews left - and then Pant cuts him past point for four off the next delivery. A gorgeous shot.

  8. India 366-6

    Thakur has time to step back to Woakes and flip him through mid-wicket off his hip for three. 80+ runs in the match from your number eight is a good return.

  9. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Since lunch it has gone flat again. England will definitely have a chance but history is against them already.

  10. India 363-6

    This is a responsible knock from Rishabh Pant following all those hit and hope efforts. It's the kind of annoying wicketkeeper-batsman knock that Ian Healy, Moin Khan. Mark Boucher et al used to specialise in against England.

  11. Stephan Shemilt

    Lovely moment. Fielding on the boundary, Moeen Ali has posed for a socially distanced selfie with a young fan.

  12. India 363-6

    Pant and Thakur have posted a 50 partnership without the fireworks you might have expected.

  13. India 361-6

    India lead by 262

    Blimey, 32 runs in this session already! It feels like it is sliding away from England.

    OK, here comes Benny Andersson. I mean Jimmy Anderson! That ABBA thing is lingering in my mind...

    Mark Puttick: Shardul Thakur has more runs at The Oval in men's Tests than Rory Burns, KS Ranjitsinhji, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Stephen Fleming, Marnus Labuschagne and Virender Sehwag (among others).

  15. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    The pressure is piling on England.

  16. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Now is the time Joe Root has to realise Moeen Ali has done his job in getting Virat Kohli. Moeen has gone at over four runs per over.

  17. India 358-6

    Lead by 259

    And now Thakur joins in, laying back to a short one from Moeen, timing it to perfection between two fielders for another four through the off side.

  18. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    That is Pant's first boundary from his 54th ball.

  19. India 353-6

    Pant has been like a coiled spring, but now he dances down the track to lift Moeen one bounce for four almost dead straight.

    Mike Butler: Appreciate these two batsmen are aggressive but surely need to set a field to stop the singles. Really need India out for sub 275.
