  • Rest of India's batters fail to build on promising starts

  1. Ind 196-3published at 55 overs

    Just before the wicket of Shreyas Iyer, a graphic came up showing the runs/wickets across each day on average in the two Tests at Visakhapatnam.

    Day one was 260-2.

    India will be well beyond that total you would think, but England already have more wickets so they are in the game.

    This is a much better pitch for batting than the one in the first Test.

    How long will Rehan Ahmed have to warm up for before he gets a bowl?

  3. Ind 195-3published at 54 overs

    Rehan Ahmed is still warming up on the boundary rope.

    It's screaming "Ben, Ben, you've remembered I'm playing, haven't you?" more than "I'm about to bowl" at the moment.

    Just waking up? Lucky you, if so. Nice lie-in.

    Anyway, here's a quick recap. India won the toss and didn't hesitate in choosing to bat first, though skipper Rohit Sharma couldn't make the most of it as he fell for 14, giving debutant Shoaib Bashir his first Test wicket.

    Jimmy Anderson removed Shubman Gill for 34 on the stroke of lunch but opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has thwarted England since, bringing up an exquisite century.

    He remains unbeaten with debutant Rajat Patidar for company, having just seen Shreyas Iyer depart for 27 after a crucial third-wicket stand of 90.

    Jaiswal 116, Patidar 2

    You're all welcome. Although, not sure how much credit I can take for one keeping low thousands of miles away.

    Almost two in two overs for Tom Hartley, who is stood in the middle of the pitch with his hands on his head.

    Yashasvi Jaiswal drives the left-armer but slices it up in the air and it is just out of the reach of Jonny Bairstow at backward point.

    It's not an opportunity as such, just an arghhh moment for England.

    Absolutely beautiful example of reverse mockers there. The cricketing gods are laughing mightily.

    These are anxious moments for Patidar on his Test debut, despite a stellar first-class record.

  9. Ind 186-3published at 52 overs

    Any debutant is bound to be nervous and that does the seem the case for Rajat Patidar at the moment.

    He goes nicely back in his crease to play a back-foot punch into the covers and sets off for a single.

    James Anderson does brilliantly to stop it, gather and release but Ben Foakes has to move slightly to his right to collect and Patidar is able to get back.

    A direct hit would have meant trouble.

    Rajat Patidar is a high-quality batter. I'm a bit biased about him because I've been watching him closely in the past 18 months and I really feel he is a special talent.

    He is a very good looking right-hander and he's cut from the same cloth as Rohit Sharma. He looks easy on the eye and he'll play beautifully in terms of how he plays against spin. He's got a really good defence.

    I'm really confident he'll do well in international cricket. He's got all the tools to succeed.

    It's not the first time that Shreyas has tried to manufacture a scoring opportunity from a good ball, but it's a world-class catch from Foakes.

  12. Ind 180-3published at 51 overs

    Debutant Rajat Patidar is the new batter.

    The 30-year-old averages 45.97 in first-class cricket but is yet to play any international cricket.

    He's off the mark with a nudge round the corner.

    Don't underestimate that catch by Foakes. Taking a bottom edge standing up to the stumps is about as hard as it gets. Stunning glovework.

    Oh that’s unlucky for Shreyas - it keeps very low. Brilliant keeping from Ben Foakes as the ball takes the inside edge. As always he makes it look easy.

    Shreyas c Foakes b Hartley 27 (Ind 179-3)

    Breakthrough!

    Shreyas Iyer started the over by drilling Tom Hartley back down the ground for four but the Lancashire spinner has his revenge.

    He cramps Shreyas as he looks to cut and a little under-edge is superbly held by Ben Foakes. Did it keep a little low? It's a brilliant catch I know that.

    That ends a 90-run stand and England are chipping away.

  16. Ind 175-2published at 50 overs

    England haven't really looked like taking a wicket in this session, with the only chance that tough opportunity at slip for Joe Root to dismiss Yashasvi Jaiswal.

    A run out may be their best hope on this flat deck at the moment and there's a sniff of a half-chance as Jaiswal sets off but Shreyas Iyer sends him back.

    England just need to hang in there.

    Jaiswal had his helmet off in celebration before the ball cleared the rope. He took 41 runs off 30 balls to get to his century. He's flying now.

    It takes a brave man to play a shot like that to bring up a Test century! That was a brilliant shot, and he’s been clinical all the way through.

  19. Ind 173-2published at 49 overs

    Yashasvi Jaiswal started to take his helmet off in celebration almost as he soon as he played the shot there. He knew he'd middled it.

    He blew a little kiss towards the crowd and changing room too.

    It's been a superb knock.

    What a shot, what an innings and what a celebration! Well played Jaiswal, enjoy the moment!
