    Bairstow moves off the pair with a gift - he also goes for the cut but this time Mohammed Siraj misfields at point and the ball runs away for four.

    All over today, I think.

    Pope c Rohit b Jadeja 3 (Eng 20-3)

    I think England might be on the golf course tomorrow.

    Ollie Pope can get off the field and pop that top in the wash - he tries to cut Jadeja and gets a thick edge. Slip Rohit adjusts and takes the catch to his left.

    In comes Jonny Bairstow on a pair.

  4. Eng 20-2published at 9 overs

    Target 557

    Root defends the first ball.

    Bumrah then goes up goes an lbw shout against the former England skipper and goes into conference with his captain. Rohit decides against it - the correct decision, impact was outside the line and it looks like the ball hit bat and pad simultaneously.

    And in the middle of that, Root ran through for his first single.

    Ollie Pope closes the over with a tap and run, having to dive to make his ground. His top is now monumentally filthy.

    Must say a word about everyone’s friend Mike Procter who died overnight. Incredible bowler who fired down big inswinging yorkers off the wrong foot from a long sprint. Swashbuckling batsman. Great company. A towering figure in the game who will be hugely missed.

    Joe Root is at the crease post-tea to face the first ball of his innings.

    We're midway through Jasprit Bumrah's over.

    Here we go.

    If he does, Aggers, I will personally fly to India this afternoon and bring him home.

    I felt some sympathy for Crawley with the wicket being just a fraction of umpire’s call. So how is Joe Root going to play? Will he play an early reverse scoop to send a message to his critics?

    Thanks Matt.

    Look, things can hardly get worse, right?

    Right?

    My colleague Mike Peter tasked me with lifting spirits earlier. I think I have failed resoundingly.

    Mike's back to take you through whatever awaits in the final session...

    Joe Root playing himself into some form might be the best England can get from this match now.

    Let’s be honest, this could get messy for England. They have lost games in the Bazball era but they have never really been hammered. This could be the first.

    Target 557

    That England dressing room will be a quiet place now.

    The players have followed Crawley off the field for tea.

    Crawley lbw b Bumrah 11 (Eng 18-2)

    Clipping the very top of leg stump!

    Zak Crawley is furious as he marches past the umpire.

    Unlucky? Probably. England's miserable day gets worse.

    The crowd cheer as the replays show the ball missing bat.

    It's a little high, if anything...

    Zak Crawley is given lbw as he defends!

    He reviews but it looked straight.

    Ollie Pope leaves a couple before attempting a slashing drive outside off stump to Jadeja's left-arm spin. The ball turns and bounces into Jurel's gloves.

    The next over will be the last before tea.

    Now for some spin from Ravindra Jadeja.

    Huge wicket for India up front, getting rid of Duckett who played so beautifully in that first innings. And what a gather from Jurel, a really hard fast throw, he had to take it on the run and knock the bails off all in one movement. Great piece of fielding by the wicketkeeper.
