It's snuck underneath the bottom of the bat.
This has kept low.

It's snuck underneath the bottom of the bat.
This has kept low.
It is definitely not going over. It's basically hit him on the ankle.
Is he outside the line?
HUGE appeal from England. Have they got Ajinkya Rahane out lbw?
James Anderson was pleading.

Tom Huffinley: ANDERSONNNNN! THAT IS A BEAUTY FROM THE GOAT.
Ian Champ: You absolute beauty Jimmy! What a jaffa!
Henry Ellison: What a pearler! Ohhh Jimmy Jimmy!!! Absolute beaut of a ball.
Gill b Anderson 50 (Ind 92-3)
Oh. my. days. What a delivery.
What a start from Jimmy Anderson! He is thundering in and he sneaks the reversing ball through the defences of Shubman Gill, sending the off stump clattering out of the ground. The noise that made when it hit the stumps! WOW!
England are on top.
James Anderson replaces Dom Bess.
Bess' three overs went for 23 this morning.
328 runs.
77 overs.
4.26 runs an over.

Kiran: Too early to ask for a required run rate?
Ind 92-2; target 420
Superb from Shubman Gill. He's only 21 - what a talent.
The biggest compliment I can give him is that he has almost looked like he's having a net this morning. He looks unflustered.

Target 420
I've just had a look online and the draw is marginal favourite at the moment, with England just behind. India are double-figured odds to win...
I mean that will shorten the longer these two are together. They still need 333 wins so would have to score at 4.27 runs an over for the rest of the day, which on this pitch may be hard work, but not impossible.
Four off Dom Bess' latest over.

Steven Oakley: Loyal ex-pat tuning in from my office in Coffs Harbour, Australia. As you can imagine, things have gone a bit quiet over here regarding the cricket!
Target 420
India are looking to be positive here - particularly with their running. I like that. So many sides just try and sit in their bunker during a fifth-day battle and most end up losing.
Are the odds on a draw shortening all the time?

Lesley Keech: Oh. So THAT'S what all the fuss about Shubman Gill is about. Goodness.
Target 420
You really don't know what you're going to get from Dom Bess. After the six he drops short and Shubman Gill's pull whacks Ollie Pope in the knee at short leg.
He then throws down a full toss that Gill works for a single.
I know Bess is only 23, but his lack of consistency is alarming at times.
Target 420
Shubman Gill is a talent. He whacks Dom Bess over wide long-on for a big 'un.
I think it's probably fair to say that India don't rate Bess very much.
Last night 62.6% thought England would win.
This morning it was 65.9%.
We'll keep doing this throughout the day to track your confidence.
Target 420
Jack Leach continues his good start with just one off the over.
Target 420
Virat Kohli has already turned to his cap.
One of the great sights in cricket.

Andy: That is the massive wicket, the Indian wall falls. Yesss Leachy!!!!
Kevin Ticehurst: Come on England, 8 more wickets that is all we need. But with this India batting line up, should I be nervous that they can chase this down? Of course I should be...
Richard Wood: Jack Leach You beauty! Making 4am admin worthwhile!
