  1. Ind 181-7

    Oh, hello. Kuldeep Yadav reverse sweeps his second ball for four!

    Brave shot from a number nine amid a mini-collapse.

  2. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain

    I don’t think England will mention DRS this week.

  3. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That was a very tentative knock from Ashwin, born of the relentless pressure exerted by the spinners and the match situation.

    WICKET

    Ashwin lbw b Hartley 1 (Ind 177-7)

    Umpire's call! The low bounce accounts for another.

    Ashwin gets a big stride forward, but it scuttles along the ground and pins him on the front pad.

    Another tentative innings - none of India's batters look comfortable in taking it on. England edge closer to a big first-innings lead.

  5. India review

    You lot may be in luck.

    Tom Hartley gets Ashwin lbw... or does he? He sends it upstairs.

    I don't have a dog, rabbit or toddler so I'm taking myself for a walk to help get another scalp. Should be all out by end of play today now.

    Mike, Stockport

    No dog or child but will take the girlfriend out for a walk to get us a 7th.

  7. Stuart BroadGetty Images

    Stuart Broad on X: England massively on top. Spinners bowling accurately, uneven bounce. Cracks. Bowler's dream. 350 looks 100 above par. Toss in this series seems crucial. Bat first, dominate the game. Bumrah ‘rested’ - can’t understand it. Eight overs in his last innings. Handed initiative back to England.

  8. Ind 176-6

    Trail by 177

    A misfield gifts India a couple of runs, before the throw hits the stumps and allows them another.

    Shoaib Bashir is in pursuit, but pulls up with cramp in picking it up.

    He's fine. He finishes the over, with five runs coming from it.

  9. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain

    To see Indian batters in their own backyard confused about the way they play two young England spinners is remarkable. They don’t know whether to stick or twist.

  10. Ind 171-6

    And another.

    Could be a long final session here if India don't fancy scoring any runs during it.

  11. Ind 171-6

    Shoaib Bashir twirls his way through another maiden.

    India are 182 behind and going nowhere.

  12. Leach to have surgery on knee injury

    England spinner Jack Leach, meanwhile, has revealed he is to have surgery on the left knee injury that cut short his tour of India.

    The opening Test of the series was Leach's first since missing the Ashes, but he suffered an injury in the field that caused severe swelling.

    Leach completed the first Test, missed the second, then returned home and will have the operation on Tuesday.

    "I'm going to have an operation to get the rest of the swelling out because it's not budging," said Leach.

    I’ve not got a dog, but I’ll get the rabbits out for a run and see if it helps.

  14. Ind 171-6

    It's more great captaincy from Stokes, who kept the fielders round the bat and piled the pressure on Sarfaraz, who couldn't release the shackles with his usual aggressive style.

    A wicket-maiden for Tom Hartley.

    WICKET

    Sarfaraz c Root b Hartley 14 (Ind 171-6)

    Or not! Joe Root takes a stunner at slip!

    Sarfaraz Khan's frustrating stay at the crease comes to an end. He drives, the edge flies quickly towards Root who dives to his left and snaffles the ball inches off the ground.

    England's spinners are working their magic.

  16. Ind 171-5

    Bring them back, Andy.

    Dhruv Jurel goes on the counter-attack and whacks Shoaib Bashir over mid-wicket for a one-bounce four.

    Right, I've got Henry (1) and George (3) out with Sansa (dog). 6 down in no time.

    Andy in Ponteland

  18. Ind 166-5

    I don't have any pets or children to send out to bring more wickets, I'm afraid.

    My husband is going out for a run shortly, though. That might help.

  19. Not out

    Missing leg stump.

    Sarfaraz survives and England lose the review.
