I've been in India for a while. Craving a chip-shop sausage and curry sauce. Not a battered sausage. I'm not an animal.

And England take the new ball straight away. Ollie Robinson is going to continue with it and he now has two slips.

Texting into us on your honeymoon? Brave but I am flattered. I hope Anthony's partner doesn't read this.

The new ball is now available after another quiet over from Shoaib Bashir.

Terrible, Geoff, I'm sorry. You're banned from texting in for one Test.

On TV they say Ollie Robinson has bowled more no-balls in his Test career than he has taken wickets.

And another.

Another Ollie Robinson no-ball...

Kuldeep calmly makes his way through another over from Shoaib Bashir. We haven't seen any deliveries turn big or shoot low yet.

Paul Collingwood could probably still do a job as a specialist sub fielder, to be honest. McCullum wouldn't drop any either. If it came to a fielding contest among the coaching staff, I'm backing England.

That would be ultimate BazBall. Paul Collingwood is in whites and the high-vis vest today.

Kuldeep Yadav is looking solid in defence.

You might have spotted yesterday Marcus Trescothick in his whites. Remember England are down to 14 players. Which leads to the question: do the subs have to be English? Could we see Baz out there?

Ollie Robinson's second ball is another no-ball, something that he really needs to cut out.

One delivery hits one of those cracks and leaps to bruise Dhruv Jurel's rib cage.

The umpires, meanwhile, have just called for their jackets. It must be cool.

It's very overcast and gloomy today.

Ollie Robinson is Ben Stokes' other choice to begin proceedings despite him being yet to take a wicket.

Don't forget the new ball will be available in six overs.

There's an appeal after Bashir's first ball but it's an optimistic shout for lbw. The 20-year-old stops before his final delivery to applaud the England fans' rendition of Jerusalem. He's learning.

A maiden to start.

Here we go then. The England players march out, followed by Dhruv Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav.

That India pair batted well last night but the sleep may well have done Shoaib Bashir's aching body some good.

He's going to take the first over. Three wickets to get...

Shoaib Bashir's figures of 4-84 are already the best of his professional career.

He has never taken a five-wicket haul...

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal on TNT Sports: "It's been really nice and really challenging to play on different types of pitches.

"I speak a lot with Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma about how I can change my style throughout the innings and try to make sure that I am always playing for the team and what the team needs.

"I love changing my game and I love challenging myself depending on the match situation and what it needs. I am learning every day in net sessions and from talking to my senior players. I look forward to learning all the time.

"It's going really well and I am looking forward to the rest of the game. We will give it everything and I will enjoy every part of the game."

One thing I will say, England were in a pretty good position after day two of the third Test.

We all know how that ended.

There's still work to do.
