  1. Eng 140-8published at 48 overs

    Lead by 186

    The over follows the same order with Ashwin in the attack. Shoaib Bashir takes a step or two down the pitch to defend the penultimate ball. He really needs to be careful there.

    Ravichandran Ashwin is coming back on.

    He set the tone of this nerve-shredding Sunday with the wickets of Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Joe Root earlier.

  3. Eng 139-8published at 47 overs

    Lead by 185

    We're stuck in a repeating pattern. Ben Foakes defends three balls before taking a single with the field back on the fourth.

    Bashir is almost bowled on the fifth this time. They India fielders were almost up in celebration.

    200 lead would be a huge psychological milestone. Come on lads.

    Foakes 10, Bashir 1

    When does Ben Foakes look to go up a gear? Should he look to go up a gear?

    Shoaib Bashir is defending OK.

    Huge sympathy for Foakes, too often expectation for runs is placed upon him as a consequence of failure of higher order batsmen.

    Lead by 183

    Bashir confidently nods as he meets Foakes in the middle of the pitch.

    There are a minimum of 14 overs left in the day, possibly more. We'll play until 11:00 GMT.

    Ben Foakes has a slip and a short leg to deal with. The rest of the field is spread.

    India are happy to bide their time and protect the boundaries.

    Again England's wicketkeeper waits for the fourth ball for his single.

    My girlfriend has woken up and has asked if I'm OK. "You're sighing a lot," she says.

    Quite.

  10. Eng 136-8published at 43.4 overs

    Foakes defends and defends again before taking a single from Jadeja's fourth ball.

    That leaves two for Shoaib Bashir to survive.

    Chris: The first hint of spring on a Sunday morning and the feint sound of English wickets tumbling overseas.

    Ross: England collapsing from an excellent position just feels right. Like a pint next to a roaring fire in winter. Traditional.

    Eddie: India's spinners showing their class here. Will ours get the ball to do as much as this? I wouldn't be so sure.

  12. Eng 135-8published at 43 overs

    Lead by 181

    Ben Foakes gets the strike for the next over this time but where are the rest of the runs England need coming from?

  13. Eng 134-8published at 42.3 overs

    Bashir gets his single.

    Jimmy Anderson watches on nervously.

    Time for a declaration. Let's get a few overs bowling on this before the end of the day.

    Shoaib Bashir hasn't a clue which way the ball is turning.

    Kuldeep has bowled like a left handed Shane Warne.

    Lead by 179

    In comes the field for the last ball. Captain Rohit and bowler Jadeja have a long chat before it to ramp up the pressure.

    Foakes wants a single for the strike. He can't get it.

    Good luck, Bash.

    Tail-ender, match in the balance, reverse sweep first ball. Sigh.

    Joe

    India's last 3 wickets got 130 and the number 7 got 90. That's the deciding factor not this batting collapse.

    Top-quality spin bowling from India. There's pressure, mystery spin and the pitch does help them.

    Foakes has got to have a dart.
