    No, he's hit it on to his back pad.

    As you were.

  2. India reviewpublished at 57.2 overs

    Is that it?

    Jimmy Anderson is trapped in front first ball. He's given not out but with it being the last wicket, Rohit Sharma opts for the review.

    Ben Foakes is unlucky there. It's one of those where you just drag it on, you almost feel like it's going past the stumps but just spins back and hits them. It never rains but it pours for England. Foakes has probably been one of the better players against spin, certainly in terms of his method.

    Foakes b Ashwin 24 (Eng 218-9)

    Oh, that's unlucky.

    Ben Foakes sweeps, misses, and the ball ricochets off his elbow and on to the stumps.

    He was doing a pretty good job at shepherding the tail, playing aggressively. It's down to England's numbers 10 and 11 now.

  6. Eng 218-8published at 57 overs

    Rohit Sharma turns to his main man, Jasprit Bumrah, to try and mop up the tail.

    He's clubbed for four more by Ben Foakes and dabbed down to deep third by Bashir. He also bowls two no-balls, and I don't think that's what Rohit was after.

  8. Eng 206-8published at 56 overs

    Foakes trusts Bashir enough to take a single second ball, and the number 10 does well to get himself off strike pretty quickly.

    And Foakes then clubs the last ball of the over through the leg side for four more! I think that's a pretty clear indication of how he's going to bat with the tail...

    Well, Foakes still believes.

    He whips the first ball after tea for a wonderful boundary through mid-wicket.

    Right, Ben Foakes and Shoaib Bashir are back out in the middle and Ravichandran Ashwin has the ball in hand.

    How long will this last?

    England's game awareness is a worry. Pope was trying to manufacture a shot in the last over before lunch.

    The mindset may have changed for modern day cricketers, but the grammar of the game still remains the same.

  13. Postpublished at 08:58 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    Ollie Pope fell from the last ball before lunch but even then, at 100-2 England were in a decent position.

    Zak Crawley was bowled by a beauty for 79 - not too much blame can go to him.

    But Jonny Bairstow, in his 100th Test, made a chaotic 29 from 18 balls during which he hit two sixes and was dropped before he was caught behind and then Stokes was trapped lbw.

    Tom Hartley holed out in the deep and Mark Wood edged to slip to hand Ravichandran Ashwin two quick wickets as his 100th Test is going a little better so far.

    It leaves Ben Foakes as the last recognised batter with a heck of a lot of work to do and only Shoaib Bashir and James Anderson left for company.

    I am so happy for Kuldeep Yadav, he's been through a lot. He got dropped and got a lot of criticism about him not having enough fizz off the pitch, enough pace through the air and being easy to pick. In the last few years he's worked so much on his fitness and strength and his action is more aligned and towards the batter.

    Mentally, I remember having a chat with him a couple of years ago, he was part of the team but not playing. He was in a pretty bad space. I'm so happy to see him back.

  15. Postpublished at 08:52 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March

    England's collapse from 137-2 was mostly inflicted by the wrist-spinner, whose fine series continues.

    Kuldeep Yadav has 5-72 to his name so far, taking the wickets of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes.

    Not a bad tally.

    It's happened throughout the series - England have a really bad 45 minutes.

    England will have some hope given how much it is spinning, but it generally is wrist spinners like Kuldeep who get more turn than finger spinners like England have.

    Cheers, Callum.

    Well, on the World Book Day theme, I had great expectations for that session after England's openers started so well...

    I need to go and have a lie down in a dark room after taking you through that session to be honest.

    Here's Ffion Wynne to take you through tea and the first part of the evening session.

    Enjoy.

    England have got themselves to tea.

    It's without doubt India's session, though. England have lost six wickets for 94 runs.

    It's really six wickets for 57 having got to 137-2.

    A poor one from England's perspective.
