  1. Ind 213-7published at 68 overs

    Having bowled 30 overs in a day (!) Shoaib Bashir gets a well-earned rest as Jimmy Anderson is on for a late burst.

    He starts with a maiden.

  2. Ind 213-7published at 67 overs

    Next man in, Akash Deep, is shadow batting in the India dug-out.

    Come on, have some faith.

  3. Ind 211-7published at 66 overs

    A rare sign of aggression as Dhruv Jurel whacks Tom Hartley through the leg side for four. It's gone a little flat as we approach the close.

    Seven overs left in the day.

  4. Ind 206-7published at 65 overs

    Just a couple of runs from Shoaib Bashir's latest. Could England get a burst out of Anderson or Robinson just to mix things up a bit?

    These two look pretty settled, though the run rate isn't exactly racing along.

  5. Ind 204-7published at 64 overs

    Aaaaand another maiden.

    Bowling change incoming?

  6. Ind 204-7published at 63 overs

    Yet another maiden for Shoaib Bashir. The wait for the fifth wicket goes on.

    England are so far ahead of the game but you wouldn’t want India to get within 75.

    The light is improving. Stokes surely thinking of getting Anderson or Robinson on while he can.

  9. Ind 204-7published at 62 overs

    Ah! Tom Hartley again hits a crack in the pitch and it shoots along the ground.

    Unfortunately it's not straight enough, and scuttles past off stump and through Ben Foakes' legs for four byes.

    Kuldeep had no chance, neither did Foakes. It takes India past 200.

    My cat and dog can't understand why I've been stood next to the open patio doors for the last 5 minutes pointing with some urgency to the garden...

    India aren't going to gift Shoaib Bashir his five-for easily. Stubborn resistance from Dhruv Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav.

    Might Stokes be tempted to try Root against Kuldeep?

  13. Ind 192-7published at 60 overs

    And just a single from the next.

    India's approach seems to be block everything, and every now and then just whack one down the ground when they fancy it.

    The youngest off-spinner to take a five-fer for England is Pat Pocock (21 years 256 days) against Australia at Old Trafford in 1968 (6-79). Shoaib Bashir would smash that by over a year if he can pick up one of the remaining three here.

    Launched down the ground!

    Dhruv Jurel isn't giving up.

  17. Ind 184-7published at 58 overs

    Trail by 169

    Another miserly over from Tom Hartley.

    The light isn't looking great but if England keep the spinners on for the rest of the day they should be fine. Joe Root hasn't bowled yet, either.

    We've got frogs in our pond, I can't take them for a walk but am stirring the water so they have a swim around? Hope that spawns some wickets...

    We don't have toddlers anymore but just after my husband left to take our son (11) into town to open a bank account and then bowling (ten pin not cricket) 2 wickets fell.

    Shoaib Bashir has 4-67 and Tom Hartley 2-34.

    Talk about inspired selection.

    I will go back to the pitch... how India have prepared a pitch where the toss was going to be so important is madness.
