Sarfaraz scored 161 against England Lions just a few weeks ago. He's a 26-year-old right-hander and is more from the Mike Gatting or Inzamam-ul-Haq school than Virat Kohli, if you catch my drift.

Rohit will be frustrated with how he got out. He knew the short ball tactic was in play and was going for the big shot. Overall it was a high-quality innings that had put India in a strong position.

Sarfaraz Khan, averaging just under 70 in first-class cricket, now wanders out for his Test debut.

The pitch is already showing signs of more action. By day three it’s going to be spinning plenty...

It wouldn't be an England Test without a supporter deeming them beaten less than an hour into the third session.

Four more to Rohit to bring up the 200 partnership.

England need something. Anything.

There's no zip off the pitch which Mark Wood used to his advantage early on. It means the pitch looks very, very good for batting because there's no swing or seam either.

Wood bangs one in at decent pace out of the hand but by the time it has risen through the crumbly dirt and reached Jadeja the left-hander has all the time in the world to bat it away for four.

Root's drop is looking worse and worse by the minute.

Rohit 124, Jadeja 78

Rehan Ahmed has bowled pretty tidily today but in this over drops short twice. The first time he gets smacked for six by Rohit and the second is a more agricultural hack from the India skipper but it still gets him four.

England's leg-spinner had only conceded two boundaries in nine overs before that.

It's good of you to get in touch, Peter. How's the Robot coming along?

Another fluke!

Ravindra Jadeja top-edges a ball over the head of a fielder and all of the way for six.

The fielder was 10m or so in from the rope. Had he been back he may well have caught it.

James Anderson's spell is done. Ben Stokes turns back to Mark Wood.

Rohit Sharma gets lucky!

He tries to sweep a ball from Rehan Ahmed that's a mile outside off stump, gets a top-edge but the ball falls in a gap in front of a fielder hurtling in from the boundary.

That could have been the moment.

Sir Alastair Cook
Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special podcast

James Anderson’s ability to survive in India conditions, having grown up playing on wickets in the north of England, to be able to then master reverse swing or hold your own when conditions are not in your favour, that’s what has made him the bowler he is.

If you perform well in India you can do well everywhere. If you come through and deliver under that pressure you should think you can play the game and that must flow into your confidence for other matches.

Here more from Sir Alastair on how to succeed in India on the TMS podcast here.

It's a lovely scoreboard but lacking in the details.

Anderson tries again through an over where the ball doesn't really move off the straight. He's always probing at the defences.

How's this for an old-fashioned scoreboard?

Where's this wicket going to come from?
