The players are retaking their positions on the field. Trent Boult looks like he's going to bowl.

There are 41 overs left in the day which, let's be honest, is plenty of time for this to finish.

If you've been out celebrating the terribly named Platty Joobs today then you may have missed England's 'team hat-trick' earlier.

Great fun...

I know he's good but I find it slightly mad Ben Stokes has already equalled Sehwag in that list.

Sehwag was a player...

Today was just about as cliché Test match Jonny Bairstow as you could get.

He crunched some lovely boundaries before being bowled through the gate.

Ah Jonny...

And after lunch things began to feel all too familiar.

Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope didn't last very long, only increasing the pressure the pair are under...

The first wicket to fall in this England innings actually came just before lunch.

Alex Lees lost his bearings and was bowled.

It was a real killer...

Thanks Tim. That's the first time I've been called that.

Felix White of the Maccabees and Tailenders fame is on TMS during the interval to talk about your efforts replicating Shane Warne's Ball of the Century.

Here I'll recap what we saw in that session.

Joe Root and Ben Stokes are the last real hope for England.

The last ball of an all-over-the-place session sees Ben Stokes inside-edge it worryingly - but the ball squirts away for a single.

And that is tea.

And that is also it from me for now, as I hand over to the Sunderland Cyclone himself - it's Matthew Henry!

Nice! Joe Root delicately paddles Patel around the corner for two to the finest of fine legs.

There'll be one more over before tea.

It was just a nice length for Ben Stokes.

Ben Stokes has not waited to have a look. He's decided you can't bowl left-arm spin at him.

Wow.

And now we do indeed see Ajaz Patel.

And what a welcome from Ben Stokes - he hoicks the left-arm spinner high over mid-wicket for a six off the second delivery!

There's a pause as Joe Root stops to try to get something out of his left eye. Ben Stokes is on hand to sort it out.

It was sort of like a half leave. Sometimes you can get inside edge on those, back onto the stumps, so that will be the danger for Root if he plays that shot again.

Runs at last as Joe Root just about guides Tim Southee to the boundary at third.

Mark: Ah yes the Star Trek episode was “Cause & effect”, difference is the crew learned a little each time…this batting line up don’t seem to.

Quite - one of the best episodes they did, though.

Yep - the all rounder is leaving the field, not limping but there's clearly something amiss.

Daryl Mitchell trundles in for the one remaining delivery, which Stokes pushes out into the off side.

Maybe we will see Ajaz Patel if they are a bowler short?

Hmmm - Colin de Grandhomme pulls up in the delivery stride - has he tweaked something in his ankle?
