The Root dismissal was a shocker for the technology. Over half looked to have pitched outside leg stump but it came up red.

Solid start from the leg-spinner. Just two from it but Zak Crawley continues to look very composed.

Yep, here he is.

Jonny Bairstow starts by backing away from his first ball and cutting off middle stump.

That isn't good for the heart rate.

Kuldeep is getting loose. That might be it for Ashwin.

Very well played, Zak Crawley.

A crucial half-century from 71 balls.

Double it, please.

Careful, Jonny.

He gets four but cutting off the stumps seems rather risky.

Just waking up? You do so with this Test right in the balance.

Largely because of Dhruv Jurel's 90, India managed to reduce their first-innings deficit to 46 before being bowled out.

The pitch hasn't played too badly and the lower order was able to hang around. Ollie Robinson dropped Jurel on 59, at which stage England's lead was 86, which could yet prove crucial.

Ravichandran Ashwin has been right on it since as England look to set a target.

He dismissed Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope in consecutive balls, Pope out for a first-ball duck, and had Joe Root lbw on review in a massive moment.

Root and Zak Crawley had just started to move things into England's favour. Crawley remains and has played really well.

Ravi Jadeja briefly puts the cork in England's scoring with a maiden.

Some more good running sees Crawley and Bairstow sprint back for two, committing to every run out there.

Where's Kuldeep Yadav?

Not now, Simon. Not now.

He's heard you, Rob.

Bairstow picks up the length so quickly, pulling Mohammed Siraj through square leg for another boundary.

He follows it with a dab into the leg side and sprints two.

Jonny Bairstow whacks Ashwin down the ground for four. That'll do.

Those three wickets have caused plenty of nerves for England fans but it's set up for a cracking finish to the match.

Today would be a great day for Jonny Bairstow to find some form.

For now though, just sticking with Zak Crawley will be fine. He clips one off his legs for four as Siraj strays from his line.

England assistant coach Paul Collingwood is looking intensely at a computer screen, a rather perplexed look on his face. On first glance, it looked like that had pitched outside leg stump.

Ashwin has three, and England's lead is 111.

Root looks nervous...
