    Lead by 368

    Rory Burns gets up and running with a nudge off his hips. He has scored a bucketload of runs for Surrey on this ground, and now is the time to score some of those for England.

    Good from Haseeb Hameed too, as he gently leans on a forward defence, allowing him to scamper through for a single.

    There is the flag of Zimbabwe hanging from a balcony in the new Galadari Stand. This follows the Colombian flag being displayed during the third Test at Headingley. Old Trafford? Papua New Guinea...

    Target 368

    Jasprit Bumrah hasn't got his line right yet. He's been too wide to Haseeb Hameed, allowing the England opener to just shoulder his arms and let the ball go through.

    There's a really wide, and short, delivery that Hameed tries to cut away, but doesn't quite time it properly.

    There isn't a couch in the world that is big enough, Bob.

    And, when I say couch, I mean sofa.

    What they need is a good start, and they certainly didn't get it in the first innings.

    Target 368

    England are up and running.

    First a leg bye, as Rory Burns looks to work off his hip, before Haseeb Hameed gets off his pair with a couple down to fine leg.

    A wild throw from Ravaindra Jadeja isn't gathered cleanly either and they leisurely stroll back for an overthrow.

    You have to try to take the scoreboard out of the equation in this session, enjoy yourself and play your natural game.

    This is slightly tongue in cheek, but the required run-rate has gone up to 2.97 after those two maidens.

    England need to get a move on.

    Target 368

    As you'd expect there is some extra bounce with the new ball, as one flies off the surface and Rishabh Pant has to react quickly to claim, high to his right.

    Haseeb Hameed is still on his pair.

    Here are India's final two wickets to fall as the tourists set England an unlikely 368 to win.

    There were 126 overs left in this match when England started their innings. It took England 125.4 to chase 359 in Stokes' Test at Headingley.

    Target 368

    WinViz has an England win at 15%, India at 66% and the draw at 19%.

    I wonder if you walked into the England changing room now and offered them a draw, how many would snap your hand off.

    Umesh Yadav starts with a maiden.

  15. Postpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 5 September 2021

    Umesh Yadav has already done a fair bit of damage to England today...

    Target 368

    A little bit of movement in, but Rory Burns shoulders his arms and lets the ball go through to Rishabh Pant.

    It will be Umesh Yadav with the new ball. Rory Burns to face up.

    It must be worth having a few quid on the England football team scoring more than the England openers, surely?

    Rohit Sharma missing means that India will have to change their slip cordon too. He's been excellent at second slip in this series.

    We've seen the consequences changing the slip cordon has had on England...

    Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara will not take the field. Rohit has discomfort in his left knee while Pujara has pain in his left ankle. The BCCI medical team is assessing them.
