  1. Eng 18-1published at 6 overs

    Crawley 11, Pope 2

    That was Ben Duckett's call but Zak Crawley wasn't having it.

    The ball went pretty close to Siraj. I'm not sure there was a single there.

    One of the great takes by the keeper.

    Ollie Pope is now in needing lightning to strike twice. He's already produced one superb innings on a tiring pitch in this series.

    Duckett run out Siraj 4 (Eng 15-1)

    Ah. Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett have batted so well together in recent times but this is a horrible mix-up. Duckett pushes the ball to mid-on, gets halfway down in pursuit of a single but is sent back by Crawley.

    Wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel then does superbly to rush up to the stumps, take the ball on the half volley and take down the stumps with Duckett well short.

    All a bit retro: two runs per over. Tea is just around the corner. We will see if approach changes after the break. I suspect they will be more positive against the spinners.

    Target 557

    India continue to go about this quirkily with all of their slips having now gone. Instead there are fielders either side of the pitch in front of the umpire waiting for a catch.

    There are 10 minutes to go until tea.

    Target 557

    Ben Duckett hobbles away after being hit flush in the box by Jasprit Bumrah.

    The crowd groans as the replay is shown on the big screen while Zak Crawley comes over to give his mate some sympathy.

    There's not much more he can do.

  8. Eng 9-0published at 4 overs

    Crawley 9, Duckett 0

    Zak Crawley takes his second boundary as Mohammed Siraj takes his turn in bowling on the pads.

    India's response is to remove a slip fielder and put a man lurking near the square-leg umpire. It's not often you'd have one slip four overs in having set a world-record target regardless of conditions.

    For me, England need to go at this target and they need to assess situation. Two or less down at the close and they can have a go. More than two wickets down and they need to just play for a draw.

    Target 557

    Will we actually see anything that suggests England are 'going for it' or 'batting for the draw' anyway? It's not like they have to slog their way to quick runs.

    This is the first time a team has declared against England in the Stokes-McCullum era.

  12. Eng 4-0published at 2.2 overs

    England's first runs come with a boundary to Zak Crawley, who dispatches one from Bumrah on his pads.

    Clear change of tactic to Duckett. India are going to bowl a lot straighter to him and not allow him any width.

  14. Eng 0-0published at 2 overs

    Mohammed Siraj shares the new ball and it's clear he's going to straight to Ben Duckett. The England opener has to defend the ball from his stumps.

    Maybe we weren't giving England enough credit. It's another maiden.

    If you're just waking up, India have doled out an absolute punishment for England.

    The hosts added 118 runs in the morning session, with Shubman Gill reaching 91 before being run out in a mix-up with Kuldeep Yadav.

    Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the crease after retiring hurt yesterday and has picked up where he left off.

    Resuming on 104, he smashed his way to an unbeaten double century, meeting the world record for sixes in a Test innings with 12.

    He put on 172 with debutant Sarfaraz Khan, who made 68 from 72 balls, before India finally declared on 430.

    England now need an almighty 557 to win - a task that's surely beyond them.

    Target 557

    Ravichandran Ashwin is returning to the match today after a day with his family following the emergency. As we understand it, he's not at the ground yet. He's certainly not on the field.

    It's a maiden to start from Bumrah.

    Zak Crawley swings wildly at the second ball from Jasprit Bumrah!

    It was wide...

    Jasprit Bumrah has the ball in hand.

    Good luck.

    The first job is to get through these next 40 minutes until tea.

    Here come Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett.

    Jimmy said they would chase 600 last week. Well, they have 557 to chase this week. Strap yourselves in, this will be fun but also bonkers...
