    6.2 and this one carries. A shot that will disappoint Gill. He is not looking for a scoring shot but just pushing at a wide shortish ball. Even if he middles it, he gets no runs for it. As it turns out he edges it straight to second slip 27/1
    17.6 no doubt about that one! Crawley makes near-instant amends, and that's a snorter from Anderson, proud seam position, tight line, straightens and climbs at the outside-edge, and that kisses into edge, and a simple take in second slip's bread-basket 46/2
    22.2 there is the cleberappeal. Looks quite adjacent. This one seams in from a length, is not bouncing over and beats the inside edge to heat the knee roll. Kohli advises against taking the review. Not much you can do when it seams in from so full 64/3

    24.2 he has left it on to his wicket. Looks to leave this alone but decides late to withdraw the bat. It runs off the face of the bat to hit the stumps. Potts is elated. It is an outswinger that has swung late, which means he draws the bat away late 71/4

    66.2 gone this time! Slower and wider, and he's edged to slip! He wanted his 150 in a single hit, Stokes kept long-on and long-off up, and Root responded by tossing it slower and wider outside off! It's a fat snick and a sharp take, albeit straight at slip, and that's the end of a breathless assault! 320/6
    27.5 the short ball does it for Iyer. Anderson, oh all the pace jokes you make about him, gets a specialist batter with a short ball. This is short, seaming into the body, Iyer off his toes and fends at it, gets a tickle down the leg side, and Billings flies to his leg to take a one-handed catch 98/5

    82.2 bowled 'im! Jadeja's work is done, he walks off to a standing ovation, and lots of back pats from his team-mates. Took a big swing across the line at a length ball, and Anderson hits the top of middle 375/9
    67.6 and the eight-ball over does the trick! A sharp bouncer surprises Thakur, tight into the gloves, Billings - with no slip - thrusts himself forward to scoop the looping chance... and suddenly this game is shifting again! 323/7
    79.4 ramped straight to third! England's cunning plan finally comes together... Broad has his 550th Test wicket, celebrated with a certain amount of relief. Short outside off, Shami gets a good connection on it, but Leach was stationed very fine and didn't have to move far to pouch the catch 371/8

    84.5 swiped to mid-off, that's yer lot! Anderson gets five, for the 32nd time in Tests, with Broad taking a good running catch over his head. Siraj can't emulate his captain, but India will be very happy with their morning's work 416/10

    2.6 India won't mind the extra ball. A length ball that came in a touch with the angle. Lees, it seems, was expecting it to hold its line and, therefore, ends up playing outside the line, leaving the gap between bat and pad. That ball sneaks in through that, hitting Lees on the back leg before clattering into the stumps 16/1
    4.1 Bumrah strikes again! A full-length ball in the channel, Crawley goes for the drive but gets an outside edge and Gill takes a regulation catch at third slip. Both England openers are back in the hut 27/2
    10.6 and once again the extra ball fetches a wicket. Full and wide outside off, Pope goes for the drive away from the body. Gets a healthy outside edge that flies to Iyer's right at second slip. It pops out but hits him on the chest and he pouches the rebound 44/3
    22.6 gloved through! Brute from Siraj, and Root is a goner. Up goes the finger as Siraj tears off, his team-mates in pursuit. Seaming back in and too close to cut, really, but the ball has also spat like fat from a fryer to graze glove, possibly top edge on its away through. Made contact right by the splice, with Root limboing away, but unable to get out of the crosshairs. Huge blow struck by India 78/4
    54.1 what a bowling change. You can give the assist for this wicket to Bumrah. Shami pushes one up outside off, Bairstow, who had been tied up by Bumrah, sees a release shot, swings hard at it, gets a healthy edge, and Kohli takes a superb catch at first slip because this one is flying 241/7
    25.3 no mistake this time, Leach nicked off! Superb line and he feels like he has to play, but can only divert a thin edge through to Pant, who gratefully swallows the chance. Shami finally has a wicket his mastery deserves, and England are five down for less than 100 (and less than India were, too) 83/5
    37.4 Stokes, though, is adamant on giving India opportunities to redeem themselves. Thakur and Bumrah, who have dropped him recently, both in action here. Stokes has hit this hard trying to clear mid-off, but the mid-off is slightly back, and Bumrah dives at his left to take the catch. huge wicket for India 149/6
    59.1 and again Siraj's movement back in gets him a wicket. This is short of a length, Billings is trying to run it fine, but the wobble-seam ball cuts back after pitching to take the inside edge onto the base of the leg stump 267/9
    55.4 look away if you are a Stuart Broad fan. This is soft. He is just clearing the front leg and swinging. If he was going to bat like this, he could have communicated to Billings to farm the strike. Siraj bowls a bouncer, Broad is in no position but still has a swing at it, and he top-edges it for a catch to Pant 248/8
    61.3 Iyer is claiming the catch but Potts is not walking. Soft signal is out. Over to the third umpire. And it seems to have bounced in front of him. Potts is making room, Siraj follows him, the edge is taken, but it dies in front of Iyer who is diving sideways for it. In the end the soft signal works for India. There;'s no way this is going to be given out if the soft signal is not out. This is a little controversial. I am not sure this ball didn't touch the turf. The soft signal is all the difference here 284/10

    0.3 edged, caught by Crawley! Extra bounce on a good length, angle in, shape away, Gill goes hard at the rising delivery, a thick snick, straight into second slip's chest! 4/1
    52.3 oh, cut straight to backward point! Pujara has Bazballed himself! Fine innings, but an uncharacteristic way to get out, and Broad is the man to benefit. Strikes with his third ball of the morning, and England suddenly get a strong whiff of the chase in their nostrils once again 153/4
    16.3 lures him in. Broad goes wide on the crease, pitches this up, Vihari feels he can drive it because of the angle, but Vihari's stride is not as big as, say, Kohli's, and he edges it to third slip 43/2
    8.1 sashays down and chins four to long-off! No mucking about from Lees, as he tonks Jadeja's first ball back whence it came 47
    62.2 Pant tickles it to slip where Root snags a sharp catch to his right with both hands. Pushed through flatter and outside off once again. Pant looks for the big reverse-sweep - he tried and missed against Broad earlier this morning - this time he connects but not well enough. Tickles it fine to Root at slip 198/6
    59.2 picks out midwicket on the pull! Tame way to go for Iyer, with England telegraphing their intentions and getting him with the short ball for the second time. Potts bellows in relief, as Anderson holds a simple low catch. Game's moving 190/5

    79.2 bowled 'im, Jaddu chops on! Caught betwixt and between, and Jadeja's half-formed innings produces a half-formed dismissal. Third for Stokes, who pumps his hands in a sort of invisible high fives celebration. England one away 236/9
    69.1 After being smacked on the helmet, Thakur has fallen to the short ball. Banged in by Pott, aimed at the front shoulder of Thakur who takes it on with a hook and ends up splicing it off the top edge to Crawley to long leg. After softening Thakur with a barrage of short balls, Potts makes the incision with a similar length 207/7
    73.4 lobbed to backward square leg! England spring their trap and Shami is gone. Short ball and he has attempted to paddle it, without really swivelling on the pull, ends up top-edging straight to the man halfway back 230/8
    81.5 holes out this time! Another short ball, and Bumrah's hook goes high without the legs. Taken safely by Crawley coming up from fine leg, and England have their target 245/10

    24.1 and another, chaos out there as Lees is run out! Root was yelling for one but his partner is nowhere near getting to the other end. Thick inside edge squirted to backward square leg, Lees wasn't sure where it had gone - maybe couldn't hear the call because of the noise, and now the decibel level has gone up a notch, as India celebrate a third in the space of three overs. Shami the fielder, Jadeja had all the time he needed 109/3

    21.4 Bumrah comes back and hands India the breakthrough, hitting the top of off stump. This is what India needed, minutes before the tea break. Much fuller and Bumrah brings this back into Crawley from over the wicket. Crawley thought that this would veer away or hold its line outside off but it nips back in to hit the top of off stump. He offers no shot. The bails go flying 107/1
    23.1 nicked him off! Bumrah strikes first ball after tea! Searching line around fourth stump, and Pope's furtive glance behind tells you everything you need to know. Perfect length and straightening to plant a gossamer kiss on the outside edge of the bat. Up goes the finger, up go the strong contingent of Indians in the ground 107/2
