For Disneydad's final lottery number, I suggest whatever Kyle Mayers number is.

Stokes concedes just two off his fourth over.
It's excellent news for England that he's bowled that few overs and they've managed to get India in this position.
As Aggers says I doubt India will bat this bad again so England may need Stokes in the second innings.

As I say we're in a lull, Ben Stokes replaces Dom Bess.
It isn't possible for the game to be in a lull when Stokes is involved so make sure you're paying attention.

BBC cricket correspondent on The Cricket SocialIt's turning here, yes, but it's not turning like it did in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. I wouldn't be surprised if Joe Root would want to bat again for 50 overs than enforce the follow-on. Get the heavy roller on it. It would be in the back of my mind that India won't bat this badly again.

It's quietened down in Chennai again. This is what happens in the subcontinent - there are chaotic periods, there are lulls.
England won't mind this too much.

Image source, Getty ImagesKyle Mayers averages 28.93 in first-class cricket.
He's just scored an unbeaten double century, on his debut in Test cricket, to lead his side to the fifth highest run chase of all times.
Test cricket in the last two or three months has been spellbinding. Long may it live.

Just hang up your boots now, Kyle Mayers. If you play for another 10 years, it's just not going to get any better than this. Quite astonishing!

Just a single to Ravichandran Ashwin in Dom Bess' latest over.
The India changing room looks pretty despondent. I imagine they are shell-shocked.
They are not dominated too often at home.

That is superb from Kyle Mayers. Wow.
West Indies complete famous winpublished at 10:31 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021
Breaking
Image source, Getty ImagesWest Indies have done it! They have chased 395 against Bangladesh to pull of the fifth-highest fourth-innings run-chase in Test history.
They lost two wickets at the end but debutant Kyle Mayers finishes 210 not out. Incredible. They have done it with just a few overs to spare.
Mayers' 210* is the highest second-innings score by any batsman on Test debut.

Need 150 more runs to avoid the follow-on
This is much better from Jack Leach - hopefully he can use this spell to build some confidence and find a consistent line and length.
Some good footwork from Jofra Archer at mid-off restricts India to a single.

Good to see Bess developing into a key component of this England side. Clever bowling & useful runs.

A maiden for Dom Bess.
We've got 18 overs left in the day supposedly. England's over-rate is miserable. We're meant to be finishing in half an hour. We'll almost definitely be playing till 11:30 GMT.

DisneyDad: This week's lottery numbers - 6, 8, 25, 27, 47 (Root, Pope, Pujara, Burns, Bess shirt numbers.) Need one more number! Any ideas?!
Ind 227-6published at 58 overs
Better from Jack Leach with just two singles off his ninth over. His figures are crushing though - he's gone for 79!
He's having a good chat with Jos Buttler at the end of the over. Those two are very good friends from their Somerset days.

Now that Rishabh Pant is back in the shed Joe Root has turned back to Jack Leach.
This is good captaincy I think. It's important that Root shows Leach he trusts him with the rest of this Test and the series in mind.

BBC cricket correspondent on The Cricket SocialPant has breathed life into India's innings and it was brilliant. It's fair to accept he perished the way he played.
