    BBC Sport at the Kia Oval

    From England's point of view, this partnership is as welcome as a continuous cough and a loss of taste. Bumrah is batting like Kane Williamson.

  2. Chris Woakes is coming on - he's been the pick of the England bowlers in this game.

    This is his first first-class game in yonks, though. He's got through 29 overs. Tough going.

  3. Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Six of the top eight have made 40, only the 12th time that has been done in a Test in England.

    Since 2001, in the fourth innings at the Oval the average rate of runs per wicket is 36.9

  4. Ind 435-8

    Lead by 336

    India are going to continue trying to be busy against Moeen Ali. Four runs taken from the over.

    This would now be England's second-highest chase in Test history if they were to win. Ben Stokes at Headingley against the Aussies is obviously top of the list.

  5. Here's how Joe Root got rid of Shardul Thakar...

  6. Ind 431-8

    Lead by 332

    Seven from the over. The partnership is 17 already.

    The Oval is very, very quiet.

  7. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    This partnership is already beginning to hurt England.

  8. Ind 429-8

    Four more.

    Jasprit Bumrah gets down and slog sweeps Joe Root through square leg.

    It's good batting. There's no fielder there.

    Mike Fisher: How many runs will Joe Root have to score for England to win this?

  10. Ind 424-8

    Lead by 325

    Three singles follow that six, and nine from the over is excellent for India. Moeen Ali hasn't been able to offer England even the tiniest bit of control so far.

  11. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    England cannot afford these guys to get a cheeky 20-25 runs.

  12. 6 runs

    Ind 421-8

    I say that, and then Umesh Yadav plants Moeen Ali over long-on for six.

    Ridiculous shot.

    Dave: Another unexpected twist. India's big hitters have both got themselves out. Could England actually still have a chance of a win? What a game.

  14. Ind 415-8

    Lead by 316

    Umesh Yadav picks up a single down the ground, before Jasprit Bumrah blocks and drives to the cover fielder for the rest of the over.

    The pace has calmed down slightly. India are willing to go through a mini rebuild to eek out any extra runs they can it seems.

    Regularjon: Do we really want England to bowl India out soon? You just know we’ll be bowled about for 60 odd.

  16. Ind 414-8

    Jasprit Bumrah blocks out the remainder of Moeen Ali's over.

    India's lead is 315. There are signs of spin, but not much for the pace bowlers once the ball gets soft. England would have a chance of chasing that. Maybe a small one, but a chance.

    Rishabh Pant was like a toddler being dragged out of the shop without being able to buy sweets.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a really good, sharp grab.

    Pant c & b Moeen 50 (Ind 414-8)

    Moeen holds 'sharp grab' to dismiss Pant

    Got him!

    Ah, Rishabh. He can barely believe this. He is walking off so slowly, he is barely moving. He's whacking his thigh in frustration, wiping his eyes in disbelief.

    He has been looking to score more quickly in recent overs, and he tries to drive down the ground, but Moeen Ali takes a sharp return catch to see the back of him.

    Bang, bang for England. Can it become bang, bang, bang, bang?

  20. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    Spin at both hands might force Pant's hand. They want to keep things moving.
