    Another?

    Tom Hartley is keen on this lbw on Sarfaraz Khan. Looks a bit high...

    Just the one off Bashir's next over. How impressive has he been?

    My colleague has just been searching for a recent picture of a dog being walked to complement all these dog-walking texts and tweets.

    This is what came up first on the search. A woman walking a dog, next to a man walking his wild boar. The boar, if you're wondering, is called Oscar.

    Any of you lot ever taken a boar for a walk? Can't say I have.

    Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir are bowling beautifully in tandem here, though I'm sure Hartley would like to add a wicket to his tally.

    Stokes has got fielders all around the bat and the tension is building.

    He's just got out, but Jaiswal has scored more than 600 runs in this series now in seven innings.

    The record is still a fair way off - Don Bradman's 974 runs for Australia in the 1930 Ashes.

    The most by an India batter was Sunil Gavaskar's 774 against West Indies in 1970-71. He managed that in four matches.

    Dhruv Jurel joins Sarfaraz Khan in the middle.

    Heaps of pressure on the shoulders of this inexperienced duo.

    Nicely done, James.

    Shoaib Bashir is bowling a stunning spell here. This one keeps a little low and skids under the usually impeccable defence of Jaiswal.

    That is the wicket England were desperate for, with India still 192 behind and Bashir has 4-55.

    Right, leave it with me people. Not too bad weather here but I’ll take the toddler along on the dog walk…that should get Jaiswal out.

    Oh!

    The pressure almost tells on Sarfaraz, who edges a beauty from Bashir between the keeper and slip for four.

    Joe Root doesn't get a hand on it so it can't go down as a chance, but Bashir is getting the ball to talk...

    It's getting rather dark in Ranchi...

    England are piling the pressure on Sarfaraz Khan.

    He has five from 35 balls.

    How long can he resist his attacking instincts?

    It's time for a bit of Joe Root. He is a different style of off-spinner and it gives Bashir a little breather.

    There are going to be some very well-exercised dogs around the UK today. Look what you've started, Dan.

    Sent my dog out for two laps around the garden so I can see the wicket.

    Heading out with the dogs now. Hoping for atrocious weather. A good day for dogs?

    Rob, South Brent

    Dan, if your dog doesn't want yet another walk I have a dog you can borrow.

  18. Ind 149-4published at 44 overs

    Oh! Tom Hartley gets one to hit a crack in the pitch and it keeps very, very low but past the off stump.

    You know it's doing all sorts when even Ben Foakes can't get his hands to it.

  19. Ind 146-4published at 43 overs

    Up and over cover for four runs from Jaiswal. Lovely timing.

    I've been told by my colleagues that I'm praising him too much but when he plays shots like that, it's quite hard not to.

    That must be it, Ben.

    Although if Sarfaraz Khan keeps trying to take singles like that, I don't think the wicket will be far away.
