Live Reporting

Matthew Henry and Stephan Shemilt

  1. Eng 52-3

    The crowd groaned when the replay was shown. It just looked out. Because of the review, this will be the last ball of the day.

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

    I don't think I've seen a plumber lbw that's not out!

  3. Kohli isn't impressed. He is going up to talk to the on-field umpire.

  4. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on The Cricket Social

    If you're not getting those as an left-arm spinner you'd be moaning. I'd be fuming.

  5. Not out

    Blimey. Root has somehow got away with this umpire's call on impact. It looked like it had hit him inside the line of off stump not outside.

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

    The only thing that's going to save him is umpire's call. He's in big trouble here.

  7. This looks out lbw. Plumb.

  8. India review

    India appeal for everything - caught, lbw, probably timed out too.

    The umpire says no but it's Joe Root. India take it upstairs.

  9. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on The Cricket Social

    I'd have a suit of armour if I was going in at short leg, like a hockey goalkeeper.

  10. A fair point, if Root wanted one he may as well have a second. I'm not sure how it would have gone down with Stuart Broad.

  11. Get Involved

    Kiran: I don't understand why we always give up after one nightwatchman. There's plenty more in the squad.

    Mark Burt: India should ask for the extra half hour. This could be over rapidly.

  12. Eng 52-3

    Target 482

    Ouch. Dan Lawrence connects fully with a sweep and thumps the ball into Shubman Gill's wrist at short leg. That'll hurt. Two overs to go.

  13. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on The Cricket Social

    You'd pay a fortune to get a net on a spinning pitch against Ashwin. Just enjoy the challenge and test yourself. You've got nothing to lose.

  14. Eng 51-3

    Kohli, once again, asks for more and more noise from the stands as Root prepares to face his first ball.

  15. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on The Cricket Social

    I've been totally against England swapping and changing the team too much. When you go 1-0 up against a team like India, you go again. I would not have changed a thing.

  16. And now Joe Root is making his way to the crease after all.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Leach c Rohit b Axar 0 (Eng 50-3)

    The nightwatchman lasted one ball. It's not Jack Leach's fault but what's the point in that?

    Leach goes back, tries to prod a defensive shot but only dabs the ball into Rohit Sharma's hands at leg slip.

  18. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on The Cricket Social

    No.

  19. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on The Cricket Social

    I can't see how England get out of this Test match but you still do the right things, and the right thing at this stage is to have a nightwatchman. Will Jack Leach be there at the end?

  20. England have sent out a nightwatchman in Jack Leach. I'd be reminding Joe Root about this tomorrow if I was India.
