15.1 to KL Rahul, Chopped on... not for the first time in the series and Rahul departs. Short of a length outside off, but that was not wide enough to cut. A bit of extra bounce as Rahul goes for the shot, gets a thick inside-edge that leaves his stumps in a mess. 38/2
21.483351.521131014
3.1 to YBK Jaiswal, big appeal but probably an inside-edge...! Well, England have reviewed... was it pad onto pad? Pope better hope so, seeing as he's never yet reviewed correctly. Yes, it was! Angled into the front pad, deflecting onto the back pad, the original angle was smashing leg! Pope is infallible! England strike first blood!. 10/1
49.3 to DC Jurel, And he's fallen the very next ball. That is a top catch from Brook at second slip. Rising back of a length ball shaping away from Jurel outside off. He has a waft at it, manages a thick outside edge that is snapped up pretty well by Brook to his right. The ball was travelling!. 153/6
67.4 to Washington Sundar, dug in again and Sundar holes out! Atkinson has his third and England have chipped out both set batters inside the first 20 minutes. Another slippery short ball, 87mph and he wasn't able to keep it down, Jamie Overton was the man at deep square and he holds it securely low down running in off the rope. 220/8
69.2 to Mohammed Siraj, splat, off stump pegged! Siraj doesn't have an answer, playing around a full one to be bowled neck and crop. Fourth of the innings for Atkinson on his comeback and India are subsiding quickly here. 224/9
69.4 to M Prasidh Krishna, nicked him off, Atkinson bags five on his home ground! Beautiful line and Krishna looks to defend on off stump only to feather the ball behind as it curved away. England have wrapped up the India innings in just 34 balls of play this morning. 224/10
1645733.56778040
35.4 to B Sai Sudharsan, round the wicket, unplayable! Where the hell did he pluck that from?! Stunning outswinger, starting so full and so straight, Sai had to play the initial line with his stumps in peril, but the ball just bent away and flicked his outside edge. Smith completes the take and England have a priceless fourth wicket. 101/4
39.3 to RA Jadeja, he's only gone and done it again! Incredible delivery, an absolute carbon-copy of the Sudharsan ball! Tongue grins, a touch sheepishly, but he pulled that out of the hat... angled in from round the wicket, hooping swing on the off-stump line, just back of a length, curling away with Jadeja committed to his defensive push, and a feathered nick to the keeper!. 123/5
66.5 to KK Nair, pinged by the nip-backer, Tongue produces another good one! Nair has asked for the review but I think this is salmon - unless he hit it. Fired in and seaming past the inside edge to smash the back knee roll bang in front of middle. Three reds, plumber than the Mario Brothers! Nair's gutsy vigil is over, the scatter-Tongue approach working for England again. 218/7

16.218645.266613200
24.4 to OJ Pope, huge nip-backer, Pope is pinned to the crease... Ahsan Raza isn't interested, despite the beseeching appeal from Siraj! India review, and this looks pretty good on first glance. Went through a touch low, struck on the back leg. What does ball-tracking say? Smashing the top of leg stump! Siraj punches the air in jubilation and India have another. Pope's look of resignation as the ball thumped his right knee flap was key. 142/3
32.6 to JE Root, Siraj raps the knee roll, and gets the decision this time! Root reviews but I think more in hope than expectation. Scrambled seam and it comes back unerringly to hit the front pad. Ahsan Raza thinks about it, puts up the finger - and Hawk-Eye has it rattling the top of leg stump! Root has been battling, battling, battling... but Siraj wins the war. Huge wicket for India. 175/4
36.4 to JG Bethell, That is salmon trout. Bethell plays the wrong line and walks off without a review. Three wobble-seam balls followed by an inswinging yorker. It lands right on the toe, in front of middle stump, as Bethell jams his bat beside to his boot. Very late swing. Bethell was unable to slide his back leg out of the way and crouched very low as he lost balance. Celebrappeal from Siraj and the fielders swarm in. 195/5
51.2 to HC Brook, Chopped on, Siraj finishes with a four-four. He's led a massive comeback from India to keep England's lead down to 23. Finishes with a length ball just outside off, gets it to seam in a touch and keep low. Brook tried to punch it through cover without much footwork. Stabbed it off the toe of the bat back onto the stumps.. 247/9
1708014.707213101
12.5 to BM Duckett, Gloves a reverse-scoop to the keeper. Deep pumps his fist, has an arm over Duckett's shoulder as he smiles and has a word with Duckett. There's a small exchange. Rahul drags him off. Was a full ball on off from over the wicket, 137ks. Duckett got square-on but was wrong-footed as his weight was going leg side, tried to lift it from knee-roll height. Ahsan Raza, the ump, has a word with Deep after the celebrations. Excellent innings from Duckett though, taking England at near-eights for so long. 92/1
1616243.876910002
21.1 to Z Crawley, Crawley falls after a few quiet overs. Tried to manufacture a pull but sliced it off the edge, close to the base of the sticker, it lobs up for Jadeja to take a dolly at midwicket. 141ks, back of length, skidded to top-of-leg height. Crawley didn't try to keep it down and was hurried.. 129/2
42.1 to JL Smith, Sharp high catch at second slip by Rahul. Gets both his hands above his left shoulder, head was moving away but eyes were on the ball and it stuck. Extra bounce from a back of length. Fifth-stump line, Smith went back for a square drive with a slightly angled bat. Got a thin edge close to the bottom. India strike with five minutes to go for tea. 215/6
42.5 to J Overton, Pitched up, pad pinned, lbw given! Prasidh was confident as were the fielders. That looked out but Overton reviews. Wobble seam again, fuller side of length, landed on off and straightened to beat the flick and hit the front knee-roll flush. Impact middle, hitting top of middle. Another burnt review and that'll be tea.. 215/7
46.5 to AAP Atkinson, Atkinson pulls, picks out mid-on! Prasidh hoovers up another, England's potential for a lower-order counter is running out of rope. Looking for the positive option but this was quickly on to him, the shot spliced and dollying up for Akash to clutch low down. Fourth of the innings for Prasidh Krishna, his best in Tests. 235/8

17.2 to B Sai Sudharsan, Celebreappeals are back! England had their share of shooters, India have one and Sudharsan's been given lbw. Sudharsan reviews. 135ks wobble seam on a back of length. Lands around fourth and comes in with the angle. It was the low bounce that beat his back-foot block aimed towards mid-on. Smashed the back pad, right on the knee roll. England egged him onto review, he did it after a chat with Jaiswal but that was hopeful at best. Chat on between Duckett and Sudharsan, who turns back. Brook breaks it up. 70/2
44.1 to Shubman Gill, inswinger, gone first ball! Gill has reviewed, but unless this is outside the line, it looks curtains... Atkinson celeappealed, and umpire Dharmasena gave it the long hard look and the slowest of slow, uncertain finger-raises... it's a crucial intervention you sense... had it stayed down, this might remain not out... it was so full, inexorably bending into the toes... there's no inside-edge involved... hitting in line, smashing off stump! In the end, there was no doubt! The perfect start to a vital session for England!. 189/4
54.3 to KK Nair, finally, one sticks! Nair's uncomfortable knock is finally over. Good reward for Atkinson, hammering that tight line, and finding some extra bounce to flick the glove. It's a looping chance to Smith, who moves to his right to cling on, his battered hands notwithstanding. England have their reward at last.. 229/5
30412554.1612515230
9.5 to KL Rahul, Taken at first slip! Excellent ball from Tongue. 138ks length ball lands on off and straightens. Rahul was drawn by it, the open-faced bat went away from the body searching, and it went off the sticker for a low catch to Root. Tongue bowling beyond the perpendicular, so the angle might've compelled Rahul to play. 46/1
64.2 to YBK Jaiswal, Ramped straight to backward point and that's that for Jaiswal! Tongue goes short and wide and Jaiswal, bogged down for a bit, looks for a release shot but ends up picking the fielder. Overton takes a good catch and holds on. Jaiswal walks off, acknowledging the applause from the crowd as he does. It's been yet another fantastic knock from one of the best talents in the world. 273/6
83.2 to RA Jadeja, on the back foot, hacked to slip! England bag the key wicket! Jadeja falls in the second innings for the first time this series, and it's Brook at second slip who clings on ... catching-practice style, an open-faced guide, Jaddu was clearly hoping to get a bigger piece of that and lift it over the cordon. Brook's grimace betrays a man who knows he's let a few go begging in this innings... but an opening is an opening.. 357/8
83.5 to Mohammed Siraj, full, and straight, pinned on the pads! Siraj lingers, hoping for a review, but there are none left, so a pair it will be! Not sure that was missing much. Right back on the stumps, speared into his leg stump... Tongue has four, and the bunnies are in the pastry! EDIT: Siraj got a nick on that lbw! He was utterly aghast, dropping his bat in his anguish when Sundar told him the bad news. 357/9
87.6 to Washington Sundar, full, swinging into the pads, flicked so high in the air, and somehow, taken in the deep! Crawley and Pope at deep midwicket, both tracking round, eyes on the prize ... Crawley, the taller man, gets his hands up higher, and emerges from the tangle with the ball in his hand, seconds before they collide! No damage done, thankfully. Tongue also emerges from some tangled figures with a five-for!. 396/10
2229824.45859220
42.1 to Akash Deep, And the fun is over for Akash Deep! Back of length delivery outside off, Akash Deep looks to jab it to the leg side but gets a leading edge that goes up towards backward point. Atkinson runs in and takes a good catch and Akash Deep has to walk back, to standing applause from the dressing room and loud cheers from the croud. 177/3
76.2 to DC Jurel, back leg on the fuller length! Overton has fired one through Jurel's defences, a very full-length outswinger, thumping the pad flap in front of off stump! India review, in hope... and no expectation! No inside-edge, and that's crashing into the top of the timbers! Reviews lost, and so is the seventh wicket!. 323/7

62.4 to HC Brook, loses his bat, loses his wicket! Brook does a Pant, but Siraj stays focused on the catch as it loops to mid-off! Massive wipe across the line, he had clearly determined to put his foot down - but instead will have to go and put his feet up after (hopefully for his team) a job well done. India finally break the stand at 195, but is it too late? The bat, by the way, ended up somewhere near square leg. 301/4
27312644.669615110
22.4 to BM Duckett, Prasidh strikes in his first over! Credit must go to Siraj and Deep for keeping Duckett down. They didn't allow free-flowing drives, and he goes for one despite the ball not being a half-volley. 141ks, fifth-stump line and he wanted to go through extra, ball straightened a touch and the edge went low to Rahul at first slip. He was at second slip actually, took it in front of first, while on one knee. 82/2
70.4 to JG Bethell, Chops it onto middle stump. It flies back. Not much of a celebration. A pre-meditated dance down to a length ball from Bethell. Got the room but not the bounce for the flashing cut. Aimed to go over extra. One of the stronger under-edges to send the bails flying.. 332/5
72.6 to JE Root, Edged.... Jurel takes a good low catch to end Root's 105! India making something out of nothing. Root looks down and curses as he walks back. Back of lengther angling in towards fourth stump before seaming away a touch, Root looking to drive it on the back foot it behind square, gets a thin feather. Looks back and smacks the back of his bat as India celebrate. Wobble ball doing the trick again. 337/6
82.6 to JC Tongue, Through him! Woakes has to bat 142ks full ball smashes the pad and sends both bails flying. On leg stump, Tongue loses his balance as he tries to drive straight. Hits both stumps. Prasidh pumps his fists, crowd goes off. 357/9
30.1610453.4412914100
13.5 to Z Crawley, Knocks him over with a yorker! Siraj gets Crawley to give India a boost at stumps, with just two balls to go in the day! Wobble seam yorker and Crawley is late on bringing the bat down and it knocks back the off stump! Siraj brings out the 'SIIIUUUU' celebration, as Crawley just stands there for a second, shoulders hunched, knowing he and Duckett did all the hard work through an hour. And now tomorrow England need 324 runs and India need eight wickets (assuming Woakes can't bat). 50/1
27.3 to OJ Pope, nip-backer, keeps low - Pope is kippered! Kumar Dharmasena raises the finger and Pope has that look of dread again. But he eventually reviews. Don't think this is going to go for England's stand-in skipper. Perfect length, jagging to smash the knee roll... and Hawk-Eye has it rattling into middle stump three-quarters of the way up! Siraj can bowl the wobble seam all right, he lands it bang on the money and extracts his price. England three down and sinking. 106/3
77.3 to JL Smith, There's the nick! Jurel takes a low catch. Kumar Dharmasena asks everyone to wait, sends it upstairs to see if the catch was clean. Looked like it at first view. Yeah, slow-motion replay shows it was around shin-height, not close to the ground. Smith has to walk back as the rain spits. Wide ball on a length, it's the away swing that Smith tried to negate by walking down and across, but couldn't.. 347/7
79.5 to J Overton, Good shout, big one... Dharmsasena thinks for a while and raises his finger! Overton reviews. Was the angle taking it down leg? Did hit the outer-half of the pad? Hawk-Eye says clipping leg, huge roar from Siraj, he has four! 138ks wobble ball. It's fullish, lands around off and goes in with the angle. Overton's front foot was outside off and he got beaten on the flick. Hit just under the knee-roll.. 354/8
85.1 to AAP Atkinson, Siraj is the hero! Clatters off stump, turns into Flintoff with the arms spread wide! India in a tight huddle, jumping in joy. It's the closest margin of victory for India in tests! Spare a moment for Chris Woakes. He gets a lot of handshakes after India rejoice. Was the lowest of full tosses on the base of off stump. Atkinson reached out and tried to drag it across with a sweep. Ball went under the bat and uprooted off and start the party on the ground and in the stands.. 367/10
