  1. Ind 87-1published at 19 overs

    Target 192

    A couple of streaky shots past short leg, followed by Rohit Sharma chipping one just over mid-wicket from the last ball.

    All of a sudden, batting looks a lot more difficult.

  2. Ind 85-1published at 18 overs

    Target 192

    England have got a buzz now. Ben Stokes always believes England can win from any position but India were cruising there.

    That’s the piece of brilliance that creates an opening. A brilliant catch, diving forwards at backward point. Very difficult because when you see the big shot your weight instinctively goes backwards.

    That was a superb catch. He's 42 in July...

    Joe Root's golden arm strikes!

    He gets some assistance from a leaping James Anderson, whose athleticism in the field this morning has made him seen 20 years younger.

    Jaiswal looks to go over extra cover but slices it, and Anderson dives forward at short third.

    That'll give England a much-needed boost, and Ben Stokes brings a couple more fielders in close to number three Shubman Gill.

  6. Ind 83-0published at 17 overs

    Target 192

    Oooh, Tom Hartley gets one to scuttle along the ground at last! The only problem is that Jaiswal hits it.

    But we'll take the positives.

  7. Ind 82-0published at 16 overs

    Target 192

    Another sweep reaches the ropes before Bashir gifts him some short, wide filth outside off stump to crash away for four more.

    The ball and the pitch are doing absolutely nothing for England.

  8. Ind 71-0published at 15 overs

    Target 192

    And Jaiswal responds with a reverse sweep for four.

    Sigh.

    We don't even get to ball tracking because replays show a thin inside edge.

  10. England reviewpublished at 14.2 overs

    Here's Tom Hartley. And has he got the breakthrough in his first over?

    Instinct tells me that Jaiswal is too far down the pitch here.

    It’s completely different bowling under pressure in the fourth innings to win a match. Every run given away really hurts and you can go searching for wickets, resulting in more loose deliveries. It is especially tough on young spinners because the margin of error is smaller.

  12. Ind 66-0published at 14 overs

    Target 192

    Rohit Sharma nails a sweep to the boundary off Shoaib Bashir.

    This is a big task for the young man in his second Test, to try and match the efforts of Ashwin, Jadeja and Kuldeep.

    It is all looking rather easy at the moment. What England would give for a couple of wickets: even better if by balls that badly misbehave.

  14. Ind 61-0published at 13 overs

    Target 192

    Early days I know, but I don't know where a wicket is coming from here.

    Arrived in Texas yesterday and battling the opposite end of jetlag to Sadiq because whenever I'm asleep England seem to do something disastrous.

    Target 192

    Again, Anderson has to chase all the way to the boundary but the dive is in vain this time as Jaiswal gets four.

    England's main man doesn't look best pleased, while India's openers look very comfortable.

    Wow!

    Where did that come from? Rohit Sharma has had enough of respecting Jimmy Anderson. He flicks the ball into the stands off one leg with such flair that even Ben Stokes can only admire it with a nod of approval.

  18. Ind 45-0published at 10 overs

    Target 192

    Having just bowled, 41-year-old Anderson sprints down to fine leg to prevent a boundary as Shoaib Bashir drifts down the leg side for Rohit Sharma to clip off his pads.

    He chases it all the way, puts in a full-length dive and saves a run.

    Class.

    I believe. I got back from Dubai yesterday at 6pm UK time, that's 10pm Dubai time. Went to sleep at 9.30pm UK time (1.30am Dubai time). I am up, and my excuse is jet lag, but deep down, I believe we can do it....come on England!

    Predictably, James Anderson starts with a maiden.
