    It is all India's from here. It is hard to imagine any side frittering away from this position.

  2. Rohit and Pujara are cracking a joke on the way off. The England players look more solemn.

    Kohli comes out for a few throw downs. He's smiling a lot more than he was in the first Test.

  3. Close of play - Ind 54-1

    Lead by 249

    And there ends a tough, tough day for England.

  4. Ind 54-1

    "Love that Leachy," says Ben Foakes. The left-arm spinner has again been England's biggest threat. We haven't even seen Stuart Broad bowl in this innings.

  5. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on The Cricket Social

    England have got to stay calm and controlled. I said at 8:15am yesterday that they were doomed but somehow they need to hang in there. Particularly Joe Root, he is getting a bit agitated.

  6. Ind 53-1

    So good has the over-rate been there was actually a chance we could get an extra over in but both teams are slowing it right down. Leach begins what may be the last to Rohit.

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

    People will ask why England haven't reduced India to 50-5 but cricket is all about the pressure you're under.

  8. Ind 53-1

    Rohit 24, Pujara 7

    Virat Kohli watches on in his whites, slouched in his chair with one arm on his hip. He couldn't look any cooler in both senses of the word. Kohli may be considering how he'll fill his surprise Wednesday off.

  9. Ind 53-1

    There are two overs remaining in the day. Moeen Ali will bowl the first of them. India lead by 248 and that, in truth, is probably more than enough already.

  10. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on The Cricket Social

    I did, but not for the first 20 or 30 balls when you're getting no reward.

  11. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on The Cricket Social

    Do you enjoy the challenge of batting on something where the odds are massively stacked against you?

  12. Not out

    This one isn't out. Rohit's boot is behind the line.

  13. Umpire review

    We're now checking a stumping. Rohit isn't worried. He wants to keep on batting.

  14. I feel as though I've missed the boat with the happy love stories? That lbw decision has the England fans enraged. Thanks nonetheless.

  15. Cricketing love stories

    Text 81111

    I met my beautiful wife playing cricket at Downton Castle (Salisbury). She was batting, I was wicketkeeper. Our eyes met and 41 years later we still are in love.

    Lee & Sandy

  16. Here we go...

    That Rohit review? It would have hit the middle of middle.

  18. Ind 53-1

    Rohit 24, Pujara 7

    It's easy to shout about 'home umpires' and some of you are. That's missing the point for me. The umpires were brilliant in the first Test. The third umpire in this match Anil Chaudhary has made some very bad decisions.

  19. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Dave: Another baffling umpire decision. No way is he playing a shot.

    Ant: These umpires are on a wind up.

    Tom Huffinley: This 3rd umpire is an absolute disgrace to the game.

  20. Not what Rohit did there.
