    Ravichandran Ashwin is yet to get a five-wicket haul in this series. India desperately need him now.

    Here we go, then.

    Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, tasked with building on a lead of 46.

    Ravichandran Ashwin has the ball in hand.

    You kept us entertained before lunch with umpire-themed film titles.

    I had no idea there would be so many possibilities.

    I think Glove, Actually is my favourite so far.

    Jurel's innings has dragged India back into the game, even if there is still a deficit.

    We've got another brilliant Test on our hands.

    Dhruv Jurel was brilliant, though, thwarting England until he was eventually bowled by a Tom Hartley ripper for 90.

    He may not have reached the magic three figures but he played a valuable hand in ensuring India's deficit wasn't catastrophic.

    India were all out for 307, giving England a lead of 46. It may be frustrating, given it was 134 at the start of the day, but on a wearing pitch it could prove precious.

    Despite the frustration, spinner Shoaib Bashir completed his five-wicket haul by getting Akash Deep lbw for nine.

    The 20-year-old bowled beautifully, finishing with 5-119 from a whopping 44 overs.

    There's something about Ben Stokes and his young spinners, isn't there? Rehan Ahmed, Will Jacks, Tom Hartley and now Bashir have all claimed five-wicket hauls in their first few Tests.

    England started the day hunting three quick wickets, but it didn't quite go to plan.

    Dhruv Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav kept battling on and the pitch offered very little assistance to the bowlers. Ollie Robinson struggled with no-balls, and then dropped a simple chance with Jurel on 59.

    Jimmy Anderson claimed Kuldeep for Test wicket number 698, but the impressive Jurel held firm in just his second Test match to chip away at India's deficit.

    So England coming out to bat for a decider. Realistically, they are one strong innings from making it 2-2 heading to the Himalayas. The alternative is the series being gone by tomorrow.

    Thanks, Matt.

    Game on, eh?

    That wicket also means it'll be lunch. Time for me to hand over to Ffion Wynne.

    Yes it's a cliché but the first hour after the break will be gigantic.

    Well bowled by the spinners. A lead is a lead on this track, but the third innings is always tricky to set a total.

    Shoaib Bashir leads England off. He finishes with a career best 5-119 from 44 overs.

    India were 176 behind when the seventh wicket fell. They have reduced that to 46.

    We've got a proper game on our hands.

    Jurel b Hartley 90 (Ind 307 all out)

    Bowled by a beauty! That's exactly what England needed from Tom Hartley. Fired in and ragging to hit off stump.

    Dhruv Jurel misses out on his first Test hundred but he has kept India in the game.

    England's lead may not be as big as they wanted but it's handy.

    Even though India have got closer then England would want, they have to remember they are still ahead in the game and batting last will not be easy. Plus if the pitch has quietened down, then England should be able to bat well on it.

    Bashir has done so much right but this one is quick and down the leg side. Even Ben Foakes cannot prevent four byes.

    Brilliant from Bashir. For such an inexperienced cricketer, his consistency has been remarkable.

    Jurel 90, Siraj 0

    Jurel whips away the final ball as well to bring up the 300, move to 90 and take the deficit to 50.

    England will have a shot as Mohammed Siraj next, though.

    Dhruv Jurel is going to have to do this on his own.

    He climbs into a drag down from Tom Hartley. He's within reach of a first Test century too.
