50 for Pujarapublished at 44.2 overs
Cheteshwar Pujara works into mid-wicket for a single and reaches his 51st score of 50-plus in Test cricket.
It has been stubborn, patient and unspectacular as usual from Pujara, but very important for his team.

We're still waiting.
This is dreadful.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialNo one seems to want to be out there any more. All of a sudden a batsman has a sore finger and needs some physio.
Postpublished at 18:56 British Summer Time 3 July 2022
Cheteshwar Pujara is struggling with his index finger on his right hand - he was hit there by Stuart Broad earlier.
The physio is coming out to have a look.
It might mean that the next over is the last tonight. There are supposedly 17 left today...

BBC Test Match SpecialNo, not really. I'll play it by ear.
I'm getting a bit tired so it will probably be a quiet one.

Ind 123-3published at 44 overs
Lead by 255
Cheteshwar Pujara wears one of the right shoulder before ducking, weaving and blocking the remainder of the James Anderson over.
It feels pretty desperate from England.

BBC Test Match SpecialPujara is not the type of man to do that deliberately but it doesn't look pretty. Anderson rightly questions it.
Ind 123-3published at 43.1 overs
Lead by 255
Ugh. James Anderson is bowling round the wicket, banging it into Cheteshwar Pujara. This is Plan P for Jimmy, surely?
He blocks the first ball and Pujara is given a first warning by Richard Kettleborough for walking down the middle of the pitch.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialI do like this tactic from Joe Root.
Ind 123-3published at 43 overs
England have spoken consistently about aggressive cricket this summer. It feels like we're starting to see that wane slightly. Joe Root is bowling so wide outside of off-stump that he is actually penalised for a wide.
He goes straight and Rishabh Pant whips through mid-wicket four four more.
We've got 10 minutes to go.

BBC Test Match Special statisticianWe just witnessed a historic moment. It was the first time Rishabh Pant has left all six balls in an over!

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThis lead is concerning now for England. It is a lot of runs.
They would have wanted a couple more wickets tonight.
Ind 118-3published at 42 overs
Lead by 250
India's lead ticks up to 250 as Cheteshwar Pujara works through the on side for a couple.
England need wickets and quickly.

Dominic Bloomfield: Did I miss something, where hath my fair Leach gone? Haven't seen him bowl all session, sitting in the ground confused.
