  1. Eng 356-3

    Oh my word.

    One keeps low and Bairstow just jams his bat down on it. The next almost pops up to short leg.

    Now, now, Jonny ...

  2. Eng 356-3

    Need 22 runs to win

    Right.

    Bairstow on 99. He's on strike to Jadeja and he has six balls.

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    England are getting there at a canter.

  4. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That was quite stylish from Joe Root.

  5. Eng 354-3

    Carved away for four by Root! Down on one knee, perfectly timed. I feel like I'm becoming complacent to his brilliance, it's so frequent.

    Does he want Bairstow to get his ton?!

  6. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Come on Joe Root, give Jonny Bairstow a little single so he can get the job done.

  7. Eng 350-3

    Need 28 runs to win

    Dabbed into the off-side for a single by Bairstow.

    The next ball Joe Root scampers a two. He makes us wait a little longer.

  8. Eng 347-3

    Joe Root late cuts down to third for a single and gifts Jonny Bairstow five balls from Shardul Thakur.

  9. Eng 346-3

    Need 32 runs to win

    Bairstow is not tempted.

    A maiden from Jadeja.

  10. Eng 346-3

    Need 32 runs to win

    Shardul Thakur extends his over with a no-ball and a wide.

    Joe Root kindly sees off the final ball to gift Jonny Bairstow the strike.

    He's on 98.

  11. It's almost like we can't have any excitement without it being immediately quashed by the umpires changing the ball.

    I do have words for this. I'll stick with annoying.

  12. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Joe Root knows it is time to express yourself because they are out of danger.

  13. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special

    It's not from the manual but it's hugely effective. Joe Root is putting on an absolute display.

  14. 6 runs

    Eng 342-3

    Need 36 runs to win

    Oh my word!!!

    It's the reverse ramp again! Absolute scenes!

    I have no words. Literally no words. Joe Root you are just a genius.

  15. Eng 336-3

    Down the track and hammered over the bowler's head for four! Joe Root, what is this madness?!

  16. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    I do feel like that spell where England took seven wickets - even though India played some poor shots - the short-ball and hitting the pitch, it was an aggressive ploy. It worked.

  17. Eng 332-3

    Need 46 runs to win

    Just a single from the over as Bairstow pads away the final ball with utter disdain. As if to say, come on, give me a challenge.

  18. Eng 331-3

    Ravindra Jadeja is into the attack for the first time.

    Root, with an air of invincibility, attempts to reverse sweep his first ball! He misses, but the intent is pretty clear.

  19. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special

    That was a gift from Shardul Thakur.

  20. Eng 331-3

    Need 47 runs to win

    A pie from Shardul Thakur's final ball is pulled effortlessly by Jonny Bairstow for four.

    He barely had to try - just helped on its way.

    Less than 50 required now and Bairstow on to 97.
