Two dots to end the over, including one that keeps a bit low and Shubman Gill practically has to flat bat it, French cricket style, to keep it out.

Damage was done earlier in the over though, with 14 coming off it.

Four more.

Fuller from Rehan Ahmed but Shubman Gill shows superb wrists to flick past wide mid-on.

Three successive boundaries and the India fans are alive.

Shubman Gill then sweeps the next ball to the square-leg boundary.

He's up to 79 and those boundaries have taken India's lead beyond 300.

Lead by 300

Nice.

Shubman Gill takes a step down the ground and plants Rehan Ahmed into the sightscreen.

Lovely shot.

This partnership between Shubman Gill and Axar Patel might only be worth 29 so far but it feels like it has blunted England a little.

James Anderson almost breaks it as he slides one past Axar's outside edge from round the wicket. Any nick would have given England renewed hope.

That's pretty sloppy though. Shubman Gill sets off for a single at the non-striker's end but Axar Patel sends him back. He's always going to get back but James Anderson throws at the stumps, hits them and the ball cannons off allowing India a single.

Anderson apologises, but he'd definitely have the double teapot out if he was the bowler.

This is the official update from England on Joe Root:

"Joe Root sustained an external blow to his right little finger, attempting a slip catch in the first session of day three. The England medical team will keep him off the field for the time being to treat and ice. At this stage, there is no indication of when he will return to the field."

Better from James Anderson and England, just a single from the over.

India look pretty content to be patient.

Five singles from the over.

India have scored off 10 of the 12 balls we've had in this session so far.

Can England afford to let that happen?

It will be the leg spin of Rehan Ahmed from the other end.

James Anderson goes up for lbw against Shubman Gill but it hit him on the thigh pad so far too high. The technology also shows a little inside edge so not much going for it all told.

Axar Patel picks up the first boundary of the afternoon session with a nice back-foot punch through the covers.

Joe Root hasn't emerged after lunch. I'm fairly certain he's not been on the field since drinks. We're told it's the little finger on his right hand.

Time for cricket again.

James Anderson is going to bowl the first over after lunch.

England will need to strike early in the afternoon session.

If this game involved anyone but this current England team, you would say the game is slipping away with them, but you still feel like the game is in the balance with the way they play.

There's plenty of other cricket going on around the world too.

We've reached stumps on day one of the first Test between New Zealand and South Africa. The Proteas have named six debutants with a lot of their first-choice players featuring in their domestic T20 tournament currently. Check out the scorecard here - there's been two centuries as a small teaser.

We're into day three of the sole Sri Lanka v Afghanistan Test too. The tourists are batting again but face a 241-run deficit on first innings. Follow that one live.

It's also the second one-day international between Australia and West Indies in Sydney. The hosts were 91-5 but have recovered slightly and look like posting a challenging target. You can listen to commentary from ABC Grandstand over here.

We do need to provide some realism though.

England are chipping away and fighting brilliantly but their backs are still against the wall in this Test, with India's lead 273 at lunch.

England's highest successful chase in India is 207. Their highest fourth-innings score is 241-5 almost 50 years ago.

Their best chase in Asia is 209 against Bangladesh in 2010.

They are going to have to break new ground to win this Test and go 2-0 up in the five-match series.
