Yet another splendid bowling performance from India and England fold up for 226, but on this track that is a fighting total and we have a game on our hands, do join us in 40 minutes time for the run chase (at 7:50 GMT)
`Welcome back - so the target for India is 227, England need early wickets to make a match out of it.
Gambhir and Sehwag will open the innings and it will be Anderson to start proceedings - here we go!
