    We're in the middle of a Jasprit Bumrah spell that you just can't take your eyes off.

    Jasprit Bumrah is an absolute genius. What a delivery. As a batter I don't think you can do too much with that.

    Pope b Bumrah 23 (Eng 136-4)

    Wow. Play that.

    Ollie Pope has absolutely no chance against a trademark Jasprit Bumrah yorker that has his stumps splattered.

    Off stump out the ground, leg stump out the ground, middle stump intact. What a sight and what a bowler he is.

    Richard (see 07:24 GMT). Game changer! Trying it tomorrow.

    Steve, Ramsgate.

    Anyone else using Richard’s method use the thumbs up/down as a little teaser? A high number of either can be the indicator of something spicy.

    No Root? No bother.

    Jonny Bairstow helps himself to two fours in the over off Axar Patel, one crunched off the back foot and the next driven through the covers.

    England keep accelerating.

    That is a brilliant piece of bowling from Jasprit Bumrah. It is those wrists again, it is very difficult to play him as a batter because of them. It is so difficult to get the ball to move away when it is reversing but his wrists are so subtle and he can control them.

  7. What has happened so far on day two?published at 08:09 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    James Anderson celebrates a wicketImage source, Getty Images

    Just joining us? Morning! You've missed quite a lot so far.

    England wrapped up the India innings within 90 minutes to bowl the hosts out for 396. James Anderson picked up two wickets to finish with 3-47, including Yashasvi Jaiswal for 209.

    Shoaib Bashir and Rehan Ahmed both picked up a third wicket as England claimed the final four wickets for 60 runs today.

    Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett then negotiated a tricky spell to get to lunch 32-0, but both have been dismissed in the afternoon session.

    Duckett was caught at short leg off Kuldeep Yadav for 21, while Zak Crawley, on his 26th birthday, fell to Axar Patel for 76 a few overs ago.

    Joe Root has also been and gone, edging Jasprit Bumrah to slip for just five.

    There's been more spin and uneven bounce from the pitch today so batting has got trickier.

  8. Eng 123-3published at 26 overs

    Oooft, and the yorker first ball to Jonny Bairstow.

    Bumrah's found his groove.

    Root c Gill b Bumrah 5 (Eng 123-3)

    A Jasprit Bumrah masterclass.

    He dismisses Joe Root again with an absolute treat for fast bowling purists. He gets the ball swinging in, swinging away, before straightening up and drawing the outside edge which flies to Shubman Gill at first slip.

    The perfect set-up. Root's cry of "oh no" was caught by the stump mic, which pretty much sums it up.

    Here come the Pope sweeps.

    He bravely dabs one over his shoulder, completely exposing his stumps and the risk of the ball clattering into his helmet.

    He only gets two but it's just the most astonishing confidence.

    Re: Richard, Whitstable (see 07:24 GMT), I woke at 4am for the last day of the last England test in NZ scrolling through the run chase shaking with nerves thinking I would wake the wife. Got to the end of the live feed with one run to win and one wicket needed. Tuned into TMS for the final ball. Hard to go back to sleep from that.

    Richard's strategy would have led to a very different experience on Boxing Day 2010, I was briefly very confused as to why we'd only managed to score 157 over a whole day!

    Colin in Kenilworth

    I do exactly like Richard (7:24). But I dread the yellow update box disrupting the steady scroll, first with black dots then with the feared word, Wicket.

    There has been a hint of reverse swing so that will be why Jasprit Bumrah is back.

  14. Eng 119-2published at 24 overs

    Jasprit Bumrah is armed with the old ball. We've seen him do plenty of special things with it in his time, and he sends down five beauties to Ollie Pope before the England number three nabs a single off the last ball.

    Bit of bounce and reverse swing for him to work with there. He'll like those signs.

    I haven't seen a lot of sweeps and reverse sweeps but second ball Joe Root is reverse sweeping. He is a fantastic sweeper of the ball but he's got to be careful because of the bounce on this pitch and there is a man waiting at 45 for the catch, but Joe will sweep.

    That wicket was against the run of play. What a fantastic innings, he will be gutted with that. He was batting like a dream.

    It was a super catch and such an important time for India to get a wicket.

    Since the beginning of the home summer, Zak Crawley is averaging almost 56.

    The birthday century goes begging for Crawley.

    But Joe Root reverse sweeps his second ball for four. You win some, you lose some.

    India needed that. Zak Crawley was looking to come down the wicket, looking to play through mid-wicket again, but it is a fantastic catch. It is a little bit unlucky, a decent delivery but a great catch and it has got India back in the game.

  20. wicket

    Crawley c Shreyas b Axar 76 (Eng 114-2)

    Axar Patel is on for the first time, and Axar Patel strikes!

    Zak Crawley drills the second ball of the over for four down the ground but tries to repeat the shot and it costs him.

    The ball is sliced in the air, flying over Shreyas Iyer at point but he does brilliantly to chase it over his head, and take a tumbling catch.

    A very tough catch made to look easy.
