    England have an above par first-innings score and now an early wicket. England are well on top.

    Wicket number 697!

    It's classic Jimmy too, good length and a hint of swing to tempt Rohit Sharma into the shot. A thin edge flies through to Ben Foakes, and England get the perfect start.

  4. Ind 1-0published at 2 overs

    Ugh, time for the no-ball alarm again as Robinson oversteps - though it's the only run from the over.

  5. Ind 0-0published at 1.1 overs

    Good start from Ollie Robinson. His first ball in the series is solidly defended by Rohit Sharma.

  6. Ind 0-0published at 1 over

    Just a reminder that James Anderson is four wickets away from the small milestone of 700 Test wickets.

    Jaiswal watchfully navigates a maiden over.

  7. Ind 0-0published at 0.1 overs

    Swinging and left alone outside off stump. Vintage.

    He won't... will he?

    Either way, we're in for a cracking 45 minutes before lunch.

    Star of the series so far, Yashasvi Jaiswal, is in the middle with his skipper Rohit Sharma.

    Anderson has the ball in hand.

    Hmmm.

    On one hand, getting 353 from 112-5 is very good. On the other, India were flat this morning and England had all the momentum with Root and Robinson going well.

    Have they thrown it away?

    Joe Root should be very proud of that. It is right up there with his better knocks.

    Gone. Anderson misjudges a sweep and England lose their last three wickets for six runs.

    England are all out for 353, Joe Root unbeaten on 122.

  13. England reviewpublished at 104.5 overs

    And he's pinned in front.

    Two reviews, one wicket left. Might as well have a look but I think it's very out.

  14. Eng 353-9published at 104.4 overs

    Joe Root plays some lovely shots - a sweep, a back-foot cut, an off-drive - and only gets a single for all of them.

    He gives Anderson two balls of Jadeja to deal with...

    Was Bashir playing truth or dare in the dressing room? Dare - try and play the worst shot in the Bazball area?

  16. drinks break

    Eng 352-9published at 104 overs

    Joe Root turns down a couple of singles early in the over. It'll be interesting to see how he approaches this.

    Time for a drink.

  17. Eng 351-9published at 103 overs

    Time for Jimmy to keep Joe Root company for as long as he can.

    The pitch isn't misbehaving like it did yesterday so England ought to get as many as possible.

  18. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 102.4 overs

    Bashir c Patidar b Jadeja 0 (Eng 349-9)

    I'm not sure this is a smart move with Joe Root 120* at the other end.

    Shoaib Bashir tries to whack his second ball out of the ground but can only slice it straight up in the air where Rajat Patidar takes the simplest of catches.

    Poor judgement from the youngster there.

    Ollie Robinson's impressive innings comes to an end, the reverse sweep his downfall.

    The bat is close to the ground, which prompts a few replays, but there is a definite spike as the ball passes the glove and keeper Jurel takes a smart catch behind the stumps to give Jadeja his second wicket.

  20. England reviewpublished at 102.1 overs

    This time?

    Robinson is given out caught behind on the field, and Jadeja is convinced.

    England have three reviews left so might as well give it a go.
