    There's a spike.

    There. Is. A. Spike.

    TWO IN TWO?

    England are convinced Sarfaraz has been caught at short leg.

    Game on! Sarfaraz Khan is only playing his second game and we know he likes to play shots.

    NO WAY!

    Ravindra Jadeja has smashed a full toss from Shoaib Bashir straight to mid-wicket. That was a horrible, horrible ball from Bashir - the worst he has bowled all day.

    Jadeja cannot believe what he has done.

  7. Ind 120-3published at 38 overs

    Need 72 runs to win

    England lost their last seven wickets for 35 runs yesterday. I'm just putting that out there for those that think this is a done deal.

    Shubman Gill has come out batting in a blue India cap in a clear show of confidence.

    Anderson will take the last two wickets for his 699 and 700, and a memorable win for England. Called it.

    Target 192

    Tom Hartley, son of Petr Cech and Sherlock Holmes, will bowl the first over after lunch.

    Settle in.

    Here we go then.

    This fantastic Test will surely be decided in this session, one way or the other.

    England need seven wickets. India need 74 runs.

    Can we do a thumbs up/thumbs down poll? I’m in California so it’s now bed time. Should I stay up (thumbs up) or go to sleep (thumbs down)? Big day of work tomorrow with an early start, but this cricket is enthralling!

    Cech and Cumberbatch? I don't hate it.

    They strike me as an intelligent pairing.

    Anyone else so gripped and tense by the cricket that their mind goes to strange places? I'm currently lost in the thought that Tom Hartley looks like the love child of Petr Cech and Benedict Cumberbatch. I need coffee. An England win. And professional help.

    The wicket of Ravindra Jadeja feels massive to me. He has got his side over the line in chases in the IPL final. He won't crack under the pressure.

    Shoaib Bashir beat him three times, I think, outside off stump in that session. Unfortunately for England there was no edge.

    England have been excellent. They have kept the pressure on the entire time.

    Has the lack of sleep got to Ryan? Possibly.

    I still genuinely believe that we'll win. India have dropped into a more negative mode of batting. They made 84-0 by being very positive. Unfortunately for us the pitch doesn't seem to be playing as many tricks on the Indian batsmen either. Been awake for over 24 hours now after a 13 hour shift. But I'm not going anywhere!!

    England's spinners have been absolutely brilliant. I can't remember Bashir bowling a bad ball.

    It shows the mental aptitude he has which will stand him in good stead for the rest of his career.

    India might still win but England have been superb.

    Ollie Pope takes catch off Rajat PatidarImage source, Getty Images

    England are just about keeping themselves in this Test. Just about.

    Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal moved the score on to 84-0 early on at which point India were cruising towards their target of 192.

    But Jaiswal was caught excellently off Joe Root by James Anderson to give England their breakthrough.

    From there, Tom Hartley had Rohit Sharma caught behind for 55 and Rajat Patidar was taken at short leg off Shoaib Bashir for a duck.

    India lost three wickets for 16 runs and England's celebrations showed they really believed.

    Since then Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja have made it to lunch but England's spinners have given little away. Another 74 runs are still needed.

    Thanks Ffion.

    I still have India as favourites but England have a chance.

    Just waking up? Here's a catch up...
