    Your alarm just gone off? Morning! Nice to have you with us.

    England have played pretty well so far today but have lost five wickets and face an uphill battle to chase 399 and win the second Test in Visakhapatnam.

    Nightwatchman Rehan Ahmed (23) was the first to go, after playing some nice shots, being trapped lbw by Axar Patel.

    Ollie Pope (23) was then superbly caught at slip off Ravichandran Ashwin, before the off-spinner removed the skittish Joe Root for a 10-ball 16 to move to 499 Test wickets.

    Zak Crawley (73) and Jonny Bairstow (26) then shared 40 but both fell just before lunch. Crawley was lbw to Kuldeep Yadav on review, while Jasprit Bumrah pinned Bairstow in front.

    England started the afternoon session needing another 205 runs to win, and India four wickets to level the five-Test series.

  2. ouch!

    Target 399

    Savagery from Rohit Sharma, as he puts sub-fielder Sarfaraz Khan at silly point, and even more savage from Kuldeep Yadav to bowl a half-tracker for Ben Stokes to absolutely whack into the fielder's foot.

    Saves a certain boundary though, so Sarfaraz gets some shoulder pats and handshakes for his efforts.

    Target 399

    Jasprit Bumrah had Ben Stokes dropping his bat and shrugging his shoulders in disbelief at his dismissal in the first innings.

    So he won't like these signs, as the bowler gets one to keep very low and skittle past his off stump. Another rears up off a length past the shoulder of the bat, and those two balls exemplify why this is going to be such a challenge.

    He and Foakes are in one of England's rare modes of absorbing pressure. When they choose to flick the switch will be the interesting thing.

    Still look likely to break the fourth-innings highest score for England v India in India. Well done lads! If we get within 100 runs it would be a monumental effort.

    Target 399

    Kuldeep Yadav is going to be a handful, as he rips one past Ben Foakes' defensive prod.

    Saying that, so is Ashwin. And Bumrah. The whole thing is going to be tricky, really.

    Kyle: Surely even the brilliant Ben Stokes cannot save England now. Hope I'm wrong but feel this could be over within an hour of play resuming.

    Greg: England lost their last 9 wickets for 139 in the first innings and have lost five wickets for 99 in the second. Very similar pattern. Throwing away great starts. Crawley cannot do it on his own.

    Target 399

    Jonny Bairstow's wicket fell in the middle of a Jasprit Bumrah over, and he completes it with two dots to Ben Foakes.

    A wicket maiden.

    Right, that's the lunch break done.

    There's a day and two sessions left, but realistically this will be done today.

    205 runs for England, four wickets for India. Which way's it going?

    Joe Root is England's best batsman in all formats but he does struggle sometimes with the tempo of this Bazball era.

    He sees people in this side playing aggressive shots, and that is their style, and he's got 11,000 Test runs and he's brilliant, but he is so desperate to fit in with what Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum are doing and sometimes he doesn't get the balance right.

    Ben Stokes is the only hope, then. I'm sure there's an Obi Wan/Ben Kenobi reference in there somewhere but I've been up since 3.30am and my brain can't seem to make it work.

    But as long as he's there, India will be wary - even with a reverse-swinging genius in Bumrah at their disposal.

    Can he give us another miracle?

    This is not over yet, folks. Remember Ben Stokes?

    There were a couple of unlucky decisions for England. Captain Stokes has got to get most of these himself now, with a bit of help from Foakes and the tail.

    But it's pretty much done. India bowled beautifully in that period before lunch.

    Following on from his first-innings 76, Crawley looked in excellent form and added 40 for the fifth wicket with Bairstow, who matched Root's aggressive intent but with a bit more control.

    But Rohit Sharma made an inspired double bowling change on the brink of lunch.

    Kuldeep Yadav got one to keep low and trap Crawley lbw, to everyone's surprise. It looked to be missing leg stump but replays showed it was hitting, and England's players and coaches were seen looking bemused, watching replays on their screens on repeat.

    He fell for 73, and England's hopes dwindled even further just an over later as Bairstow was lbw to the majestic Bumrah - it was umpire's call on review to add to their frustration.

    England resumed on 67-1, and nightwatchman/hawk Rehan Ahmed provided some early morning entertainment alongside Zak Crawley, who was playing fluently.

    Ahmed was pinned in front by Axar Patel, before Ollie Pope looked to carry his supreme form from Hyderabad until he was brilliantly caught by Rohit Sharma at slip for 23 from 21 balls.

    A bizarre innings from Joe Root followed, which may be explained by the soreness of his finger injury that he suffered yesterday. He played a shot a ball, pretty much - including some stunning ones - before he tried to whack Ashwin down the ground but sliced the ball up to be caught at point for 16 off 10 balls.

    That last 10 minutes - the two wickets in two overs - has changed it. England will feel a little hard done by.

    Zak Crawley was playing beautifully and his wicket stopped all of England's momentum.

    Cheers, Callum.

    Well, how are we all feeling? Genuinely, when Crawley and Bairstow were going, I really thought England were going to win it.

    Funny how quickly things can change in the space of 10 minutes.

    If you're just joining us, it's lunch with England 194-6, needing a further 205 runs. I'll take you through a quick recap.

    It already was a tough ask, but it is going to be incredibly tough now. Has Ben Stokes got another special innings in him?

    An umpire’s call on Bairstow won’t improve England’s mood either. Feels like that is job done.

    And that wicket means lunch.

    Those late wickets of Zak Crawley and Jonny Bairstow have put India in firm control.

    England have lost five wickets in the session but have scored 127 runs. They need another 205.
