    Garry Sobers has just hit one through the covers for four.

    I shouldn't have doubted him. Broad adds four through the covers. England have at least passed their first-innings effort.

    What amazes me about Mo is he's not a massive gym person - he's quite slight - but he hits it miles. He hits it just as far as Jos Buttler.

    They were a couple of great shots from Moeen - hitting it out of that rough and get clean connection...

    Moeen has 28 from 12 balls. It's the second-highest score of England's innings. Stuart Broad is on strike now though...

    India need one wicket to win

    Three in a row for Moeen! What a star. Well in.

    Just another 337 runs needed for Moeen to do this...

  8. 6 runs

    Eng 139-9published at 51.5 overs

    And again! Virat Kohli must be wondering why Moeen didn't do this when he was playing under him in the IPL.

    Eng 133-9published at 51.4 overs

    Moeen Ali has hit this absolutely miles. The biggest six of the match.

    Axar has five wickets on debut. He is just doing his job on this pitch.

    Why is Ashwin not bowling?

  12. Postpublished at 06:52 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2021

    That wicket means Ravichandran Ashwin cannot get his 10-fer. Axar Patel has 5-41 on debut in this second innings.

    Stone lbw b Axar 9 (Eng 126-9)

    It's actual only just OK for India on impact. Far less of the ball is in line with off stump than the controversial one to Root yesterday. After that it's clearly hitting the stumps.

    Kohli and Axar are laughing and joking in the middle.

  14. Postpublished at 06:49 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2021

    Olly Stone has not hit it.

  15. England reviewpublished at 06:49 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2021

    Stone gone? It looks like it. The only thing that can save him is height. He reviews the lbw decision.

    I've missed seeing Moeen smack it :)

    Moeen gets another boundary at the end of the over - a four on the cut. No-one will begrudge Moeen a few runs here.

    Kohli has not brought Ashwin back on which is harsh with him two short of 10.

    Moeen has decided to take it on a bit - and he very nearly dented the sponsor's car.

    Crepe Guardiola might share his recipe for success.

    Well he may as well. Moeen is going to try and get some payback for the sixes off his bowling.
