  1. England review

    What has happened here? England are convinced Rahane has been caught at short leg. Rahane doesn't look even slightly worried.

  2. Get Involved

    Luke: Very generous of Rohit. Knew he was out to the stumping so gave his wicket away to make amends.

    John: The cricket gods have spoken. Rohit's reprieve is short lived.

  3. Ind 248-4

    Rahane 66, Pant 0

    I have seen war films with smaller explosions than that Moeen delivery. Unplayable and a reminder that this is not an easy pitch to bat on.

    Rohit made it look so. 161 runs from 231 balls for the opener.

    Pant is such an exciting player and can cause havoc in a short space of time.

  5. Ind 248-4

    A ripper from Moeen turns about a foot too much to find Pant's edge.

  6. Ind 248-4

    A glimmer for England? Here's Rishabh Pant. There are seven overs before the new ball.

    Moeen Ali is coming back into the attack.

    It felt like quite a tame dismissal in the end. It was like catching practice. Rohit can't believe it, he had to drag himself off.

    WICKET

    Rohit c Moeen b Leach 161 (Ind 248-4)

    A breakthrough for England! Wow they needed this. Rohit cannot believe what he has done. He falls top-edging a sweep off Leach to deep square leg.

    He has to drag himself from the field which only lengthens the huge ovation.

    A brilliant, brilliant innings.

  9. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on The Cricket Social

    In some ways, that sums up England's day. Lots of nearly things but nothing quite concrete enough to get them back in the game.

  10. Isa Guha
    Ex-England bowler on The Cricket Social

    From the stump cam that it looked out. From the side angle it looked like there might have been a spike behind the line.

    It was one of those where if you're an India fan, it's not out. And if you're an England fan, it's out.

  11. Ind 247-3

    This could really go away from England in the final hour after that decision went against them. Rahane cuts for four.

  12. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Alex Stockton: No doubt that was out. Clearly nothing behind the line, baffling decision.

    Tom: Rohit had nothing behind the line then...

    Sam Roberts: How on earth is that not out? That’s an absolutely disgraceful decision.

  13. Ind 243-3

    Rohit 161, Rahane 61

    England didn't complain but their expressions when the decision was shown on the big screen told me they thought it was out. The umpire wanted a look from the off side but there was no angle available. He then very quickly gave it not out.

  14. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on The Cricket Social

    It was a beautiful piece of glove work. It was effortless. I think Rohit was a lucky man there.

  15. Ind 240-3

    I didn't see any part of Rohit's boot as behind the line there. Big call.

  16. Not out

    Well, well.

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on The Cricket Social

    I think this could be out.

  18. I don't think there's anything behind the line.

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on The Cricket Social

    Foakes is quite enthusiastic about this. It really turned.

  20. The crowd nervously falls quiet. The third umpire wants to see another angle.
