  1. Joe Root is going to take a chance on Chris Woakes.

  2. Ind 296-3

    Kohli 40, Jadeja 17

    That is dedication to our theme from Sean. Can anyone beat it?

    Ollie Robinson has been more threatening than Anderson this morning and here he finds Kohli's edge only for the ball to drop short of second slip. Kohli follows that with a perfect drive as if he's trying to make a point.

    SOS for England?

    I've been cheated by review since I don't know when... So Root's made up his mind, he must change the bowler's end... Look at him now, will he ever learn... I don't know how, but he's suddenly lost control... There's a fire in this new ball... And I can hear the Lord's bell ring... One more wicket and I forget everything, whoa whoa...

  4. We have received a text which turns things up a notch...

    Everyone in this ground can appreciate a Virat Kohli drive.

  6. Ind 291-3

    Lead by 192

    Not sure Virat would agree with that one given he's left his spinner out.

    He will, though, but very happy with his side's start this morning as he hammers Anderson through the covers for a quite spectacular four.

    The spinner takes it all.

    Here's a rare false shot from the India batters as Robinson beats Kohli outside off stump. The England fans in the crowd are energised but Robinson loses his line later in the over and Jadeja tickles him fine to the boundary.

    Problems for Root.

  9. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm sure the English batters would fancy themselves if it's 320 in 100 overs or so in these batting conditions - why not?

  10. Ind 280-3

    Kohli 29, Jadeja 12

    The ball thuds into Jadeja's bat once more and Anderson picks it up in his follow-through and tosses it away in disdain, thoroughly unimpressed by its lack of assistance.

    There has been absolutely nothing to lift English spirits this morning. The ball is doing very, very little.

    Gimme gimme gimme a wicket this morning...

  14. Ind 278-3

    Lead by 179

    I fear I may have started something here.

    Play is back under way after some whacking and scrubbing at the ground. Jadeja leaves a straight, easy-paced delivery from Anderson outside off stump.

    Groundsmen and postmen. You only ever see them wearing shorts.

  17. Ind 278-3

    Jimmy isn't happy with the footholes so out come the groundstaff with their trusty broom, bucket and basher.

  18. Ind 277-3

    Lead by 178

    There must be some good cricketing ABBA puns out there but I'm not brave enough to admit to a knowledge of their songs.

    Jadeja edges a couple more down towards the dressing room.

    Dan Cullen-Shute: I’d like to see a Venn of ‘people on their way to day 4 at the Oval’ and ‘people desperately trying to navigate the ABBA Voyage presale site on their phone’, for they are my people.

  20. Ind 275-3

    A silly waft from Jadeja is the only thing of real note in Anderson's first over.

    I was reading last night how British tennis number one Dan Evans has been taking inspiration from Ricky Ponting during his run at the US Open. It got me thinking about which four cricketers would make up my ideal dinner party.
