I don't mind a bit of Archer. Why not? A little bit of pace, a little bit power.
Summary
Pant hits 91 off 88 balls after India fall to 73-4
Pujara out for 73 after ball loops off short leg's back and into hands of mid-wicket
Bess has Kohli caught at bat pad; Rahane falls to superb Root catch
Archer removes Rohit & Gill with new ball

Need 224 more to avoid the follow-on
Good, tidy start from Jofra Archer with just a flicked Rishabh Pant single down to fine leg.
That over felt more like Test cricket, rather than the Twenty20-esque stuff we had pre-tea.

BBC Test Match Special commentator on The Cricket SocialIt's interesting they've gone to Archer straight after tea. A bit of shock tactics from Joe Root.
Ind 154-4published at 41.2 overs
Jofra Archer's first ball - 82mph.
His second? 90mph.
He's straight into it.

Right, we're back out in the middle in Chennai.
Jofra Archer, who has been superb so far, is back into the attack. What will Rishabh Pant do here?

BBC Test Match Special commentator on the Cricket SocialThe all-rounder is a tricky choice. You have Kapil Dev but I would say if you were picking a side in India you might want to be consider Ravindra Jadeja.

Rizwan century puts Pakistan in controlpublished at 08:52 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021
Over in Pakistan vice-captain Mohammad Rizwan has brought up his century and shared 97 for the ninth wicket with Nauman Ali against South Africa.
The hosts lead is now over 350 with one wicket remaining.
They are in control and looking likely to win the series 2-0.

Things are getting tense in Chittagong.
Chasing 395 to win West Indies have just lost debutant Nkrumah Bonner for 86, but Kyle Mayers, who is also on debut, is still there on 127 not out.
He's been joined by the entertaining Jermaine Blackwood so things could be about to get fun.
They need 105 in 28 overs to pull off the fifth highest run chase in Test history. Can they do it? Or will they run out of time?
All three results are possible going into the last couple of hours. You have to love Test cricket.

Thanks Matt.
This Test is just brilliant isn't it? England have been in control throughout, but you can't not enjoy Rishabh Pant smashing it around. A half-century off 40 balls when your side is in serious trouble? Yes. Please.
I remember being on holiday for Sir Alastair Cook's final Test, where Pant made his maiden Test century, and thinking this guy is going to be a serious talent. He's proving it.

That was one of the most entertaining session I can remember. Who knows what the rest of this day will bring. Callum Matthews will take you to the close.

Former England captain on the Cricket SocialIf India are four down at 250 odd at close of play then they will fancy getting a good first-innings score. That will take so much time out of the game which will reduce England's chances. But they just need to be patient.

A quiet over takes us to tea.
The teams - and all of us following - have 20 minutes to catch our breath.
Not the worst thing for England.

The innings does have a different complexion after this counter-attack but England are still well on top.
No England fans are nervous, are they?

Former England captain on the Cricket SocialIn these conditions, when it's spinning, you have to be more aggressive as a player. You do have to take a few risks on these kind of wickets otherwise you can get yourself in a conservative state of mind.
50 for Pantpublished at 39.5 overs
Rishabh Pant gets to his fifty in the only way he knows. He charges Leach and batters four more.
He's got there in just 40 deliveries.
50 for Pujarapublished at 39.1 overs
Image source, BCCIWell, well.
England have dominated India but Cheteshwar Pujara has been excellent. He's even upped his scoring rate in the last few overs. India's number three drives Leach to reach his fifty in 106 balls.
