    Joe Root is turning down singles.

    Tick that off your bingo cards.

    Jasprit Bumrah goes for the yorker again to new batter Shoaib Bashir but it ends up being a low full toss and it's flicked to the mid-wicket boundary.

    Boom Boom Bumrah is at it again!

    The guy is a genius.

    Wood lbw b Bumrah 0 (Eng 141-8)

    Three reds. India are two wickets away.

    It was a searing yorker from Jasprit Bumrah and Mark Wood was hit on the toe.

    The technology shows it would have gone on to hit leg stump.

    Has Jasprit Bumrah got another?

    Mark Wood is given out lbw to a superb yorker.

    Wood wants another look though.

    And it takes just two balls for the stand-in skipper to find a wicket.

    Jasprit Bumrah gets one through the defences of Tom Hartley and hits him on the back pad.

    Hartley doesn't even contemplate the review, just slumping past Joe Root on his way back to the dressing room.

    Ah, here is the change.

    Ravichandran Ashwin is replaced by Jasprit Bumrah.

    Relentless.

    Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav have bowled unchanged since lunch.

    Wonder if it is time for a change.

    Trying to think of some positives. Hartley, Crawley and Bashir come out with some credit. I have a sneaky feeling James Rew might play the first test of the summer, and having Harry Brook back will be a massive boost to the middle order.

    Short and wide from Ravichandran Ashwin and Tom Hartley cuts away to the fence.

    He's played nicely for his run-a-ball 19.

    Joe Root has hit it again.

    Two very average reviews from India.

    India think they've got Joe Root again.

    Ravichandran Ashwin pleaded with the umpire for the original decision but didn't get it.

    After a chat, stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah sends it upstairs.

    Does anyone play warm-up games now, Harmail?

    Maybe before Ashes series but the schedule is so congested these days they seem like a thing of the past.

    Whether that is right, I don't know, but it's the reality.

    Lack of preparation and warm up games, is a total lack of respect for a tour of India. Even missing half the team, India have put paid to Bazball. England can’t block out the “noise” to the impending chastening defeat.

    Tom Hartley has definitely shown glimpses of his ability to a genuine all-rounder.

    He does so again here with a glorious cover drive off Ravichandran Ashwin.

    Might be the shot of the day to be honest.

    I get that people are disappointed with how the series is ending given we have been in some positive positions throughout. But can we stop acting like we have been going to India and been anywhere near competitive before the McCullum and Stokes era came in. You enjoyed it at Trent Bridge against New Zealand and at the Oval in the Ashes and you'll enjoy it again this summer. There are positives to take from this tour, it's been a rough end but it is India in India.

    There will be some positives for England to take home from this tour.

    Tom Hartley is one and he helps himself to a second boundary with a nudge off his hips.

    Was I being optimistic planning to arrive half way through day 3?

    Ravichandran Ashwin now has 36 five-wicket hauls in Test cricket by the way.

    It means he overtakes fellow spinner Anil Kumble to have the most for India.

    He's joint-third on the all-time list with Richard Hadlee of New Zealand.

    Shane Warne is in sight, he had 37. He's probably going to struggle to catch Muttiah Muralitharan, who racked up a ridiculous 67.

    Former India coach Ravi Shastri is part of the TV coverage and he says "England are back to square one after this series, they've learnt nothing from it".

    He then reels off their series results in India this century.

    Pretty brutal listening to be honest.
