    Duckett c Gill b Kuldeep 153 (Eng 260-5)

    Oh no, no. no. What has Ben Duckett done?

    He gets a total long-hop from Kuldeep Yadav but just pats in into the hands of extra cover.

    If anything he was too tentative. He should have whacked it harder.

    Duckett 153, Stokes 20

    Well it seems Ben Stokes' approach to Siraj coming into the attack is to, well, attack. Having clipped one for four off his pads, he charges the India seamer and the ball flies through the covers to the boundary.

    This team is going to keep on twisting what you think is right.

    Jasprit Bumrah's spell is done. Here's Mohammed Siraj for the first time today.

    Remember there's no Ravichandran Ashwin and I'm not sure Ravindra Jadeja is fully fit either.

    Trail by 193

    After a quick swig on something isotonic, we're back under way. Ben Stokes hammers Kuldeep Yadav down the ground in what has been a rare win for England in the past 40 minutes or so.

    We have seen the pitch flatten out after the first hour on both days so far.

    I’m new to cricket and following from Vietnam. Can someone explain why Root is criticised for playing risky while Duckett isn’t? Surely just the benefit of hindsight...

    Duckett 153, Stokes 7

    A Ben Stokes cut shot edges England's deficit below 200 but the nerves remain. Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav is bowling far better than yesterday and he beats Ben Duckett as the England opener attempts one of those sweeps.

    Bumrah can't have many overs left in this spell.

    Sorry, but all this is the way the whole team plays is nonsense. Why do all players have to play Bazball. The captain doesn’t so why does Joe?
