  1. 6 runs

    Ind 164-5

    Shotttt!

    Full from Chris Jordan and the bat swing from the Hardik Pandya is just mesmeric.

    He swings through the ball and it clears long-on by a few yards.

    Pant just sacrificed himself there to get Hardik Pandya back on strike. But crucially for England, it's a dot ball.

    Terrific from Chris Jordan so far.

    WICKET

    Pant run out (Buttler/Jordan) 6 (Ind 158-5)

    Good from England!

    A slower ball beats Rishabh Pant and India try to steal a bye so Hardik Pandya can be on strike.

    Buttler tries to run out at the striker's end, but finds Chris Jordan, who jogs and runs out Rishabh Pant at the non-striker's end.

    Perfect from Jordan.

  5. Ind 158-4

    Another single out to deep cover.

    A perfect start by Chris Jordan.

    A huge four balls coming up.

  6. Ind 157-4

    A single out to deep cover to start.

    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is huge. It can be the difference between England chasing 165 or 180.

  8. Jonathan Agnew

    Welcome back to cricket, Chris Jordan.

  9. Hardik Pandya has been sensational.

    He's close to take India to a position of control.

  10. Chris Jordan will bowl the final over.

    It needs to be a good one for England.

  11. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    He's just fumbled it and completely face-planted the boundary sponge.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Oh, what happened? He had it! Did he just lose his balance?

    Either way, that is an outstanding half-century for Hardik Pandya. A combination of brutal hitting and elegance.

  13. 50 runs

    Ind 156-4

    Oh no, Ben Stokes.

    Hardik Pandya pulls straight to the England Test captain on the mid-wicket boundary, but he lets the ball slip through his hands, then his legs and into the boundary sponges.

    It brings a brilliant half-century for Hardik.

    That Sam Curran over went for 20. The momentum has swung.

  14. India have got 32 runs from the last 12 balls...

  15. 6 runs

    Ind 152-4

    Make that 48 off 28 balls...

    Sam Curran drops short and Hardik Pandya pulls over mid-wicket for six more.

    He's threatening to take this game away for England.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    He's played some powerful shots but that is a pure, deft touch.

  17. Ind 146-4

    Argh!

    Full from Sam Curran, it actually lands past the crease mark, and Hardik Pandya steers into the gap and picks up another boundary.

    He's up to 42 off 27 balls.

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    If you're going to swing, swing hard!

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Rishabh Pant could be very dangerous here with these short boundaries.

  20. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    India have got to get 150. Even then, I think that'll be below par.
