    England will call me negative but they cannot win this game. No chance.

    So the real challenge is to see how they approach this second innings. Can they change style to try and get a draw!?

    Lift spirits? I'm not going to make any promises. Things are bleak for England.

  3. Postpublished at 06:10 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February

    Right then, that was rather dispiriting from an England perspective.

    I'll leave it to Matt Henry to try and raise your spirits.

    Another painful session for England, that's what.

    India added 118 runs in the morning session for the loss of two wickets.

    Shubman Gill progressed to 91 before being run out in a mix-up with Kuldeep Yadav.

    Nightwatchman Kuldeep hung around until he was caught at slip off Rehan Ahmed.

    Since then Yashasvi Jaiswal has returned to the crease after retiring hurt yesterday and has picked up where he left off - whacking the bowling to all parts.

    India's lead is 440 meaning England will have to pull of world record fourth-innings chase to win.

    When do India declare? The time difference isn’t helping me work that out. The longer they leave it, weirdly gives england a psychological edge - India acknowledging that they fear England could chase almost any number?! Or am I scraping the optimism barrel?

    I wrote before this Test that Ben Stokes might set a sixes record that could never bet beaten. He has 128 in 100 matches. Jaiswal already has 20 in seven.

  7. 6 runs

    Lunch - Ind 314-4published at 82 overs

    Lead by 440

    One more six before lunch!

    Jaiswal wallops Ahmed over long on. He then takes a single from the final delivery of the session to move to 149.

    India score 118 runs in the session for the loss of two wickets. It's their day so far, and most probably their match.

  8. Ind 307-4published at 81 overs

    Lead by 433

    England don't take the new ball, but do bring Tom Hartley back for Joe Root after his expensive last over.

    Three singles from the over - we'll have one more before lunch.

    My computer says it is 30 degrees out there. This is England's third consecutive day in the field. So, so hard to hang in there. The speed of their batting, whether they make a big score or not, doesn't leave a lot of time for the bowlers to be off their feet.

    I love watching these two play spin. They both have so many scoring options. They are not only going to have a say here but in the last two Tests as well.

  11. Ind 304-4published at 80 overs

    Lead by 430

    Jaiswal takes a single to bring up India's 300, before Sarfaraz crunches Rehan Ahmed for another four through mid-wicket.

    He's on 21 from as many balls.

    Joe Root's finger is obviously playing up a bit. The signs are ominous for England. They have just got to hang in there and hope for some wickets but Jaiswal looks some player, as does Sarfaraz.

  13. 6 runs

    Ind 299-4published at 79 overs

    Lead by 425

    Ah, here's that pre-lunch acceleration.

    Jaiswal's eyes light up at a Root full toss and he crashes the ball cleanly over the ropes between mid-wicket and long-on.

    Sarfaraz follows with his own six two balls later, his effort a little squarer.

    15 from the over.

  14. Ind 284-4published at 78 overs

    Lead by 410

    A first boundary for Sarfaraz, whacking Ahmed into the mid-wicket. The ball plugs in the outfield a little, but there's no fielder out there and so there's plenty of time for it to wind its way to the boundary.

    He follows with two through backward point.

  15. Ind 277-4published at 77 overs

    Lead by 403

    And once again, Joe Root's over features just a Jaiswal single - whipped into mid-wicket.

  16. Ind 276-4published at 76 overs

    Lead by 402

    Once again, five singles from a Rehan Ahmed over.

    Jaiswal takes the lead to 400 with a shot through point.

    I'll throw this out there...

    Is a draw in this match completely out of the question?

  18. Ind 271-4published at 75 overs

    Lead by 397

    Just the Jaiswal single from Joe Root's over. No sign of acceleration for a lunch time declaration, India look set to accumulate for a while longer.

    There's plenty of time in the game and India won't want to offer any chance of a Bazball chase.

  19. Ind 270-4published at 74 overs

    Lead by 396

    Rehan Ahmed is knocked around for five singles as India close in on a lead of 400.

  20. Ind 265-4published at 73 overs

    Lead by 391

    Classy shot from Jaiswal, sweeping Root's first ball for four.

    Michael Vaughan called him a potential all-format superstar yesterday, and who am I to disagree?
