Jadeja In At 5. A left-hander joining another. So clearly Jaddu has earned a promotion ahead of Sarfaraz, nothing to do with the right and left hand batting combination.
Bashir Gets Another. Second wicket for him. First Gill and now Patidar. This one skids on after pitching and replays confirm after Patidar opts for DRS, that it would have gone to clip the leg stump. IND- 112/3 after 34.3 Overs.
India's young run machine continues his fine form. Yet another fifty plus score in this series. India are past 100. He still has a job to do.
Rajat Patidar Into The Middle. He would be under some pressure for sure. Hasn't had a big score yet. Not too many chances up for grabs at this level.
WICKET! It's turning in sharply and Gill seems to be late on the shot. It's struck him on his pads and up goes the finger. Gill reviews but to no avail. IND- 86/2 after 24.1 Overs.
Robinson Into The Attack. Almost got a wicket there as Jaiswal's edge almost carried through to the keeper. The umpires went upstairs and the verdict was not out, England looked surprised at that call.
India Get A Move On. Both batters look settled and relaxed and boundaries have come a bit more freely in the last few overs. What a shot from Jaiswal off Bashir as he goes down the wicket for a six over long on in that last over.

He attempted the reverse sweep for the first time in this innings and pays the price. ENG are 348/8 after 102.2 overs.
Another FOUR from Root; a superb shot from the right-hander! With that boundary, Root and Robinson complete a 100-run partnership. England appears to be cruising at the moment. ENG are 347/7 after 101 overs.
India has permitted Robinson to score rapidly, and runs are flowing too freely. "There's no energy," comments Graeme Swann on air, noting the lack of vigor in India's bowling performance.
FOUR! Siraj delivers a short ball to Root, who handles it with ease. The England batter executes a classic pull shot behind square on the leg-side for a boundary. England are 346/7 after 99.4 overs
Ollie Robinson's remarkable boundary takes him to his maiden Test half-century with a FOUR! England's total stands at 331/7 after 95 overs.

That's the end of the day's play. England finish at 302/7. Joe Root - 106* and Ollie Robinson- 31* off 60. The duo have added a stand worth over 50 already in a partnership which would be a bit frustrating for England.

At the end of the 40-over mark, England are 150/5. 3 wickets for debutant Akash Deep, what a wonderful spell of bowling this has been already. A wicket apiece for Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. Partnership worth 38 already between Root and Foakes.
