    Oh well, 281-9, Anderson comes out to join Hartley as Bashir goes for a duck.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    292 all out, India win by 106 runs.

    Oh well. It's interesting that that's both a decent chase in India and I can see lots of areas, both batting and bowling, where we could get better. Game (series) on!

    Really good Test Match. Good performances on both sides but India deserved the win.
    Sets it up nicely.

    I guess India would have started to worry. Nobody would have given a visiting team a snowflake's chance in hell to get 399 but England actually even reduced the first innings' deficit. A little more luck here and there and the game could have been closer.

    Not good news, Leach out for the rest of the series:

    India win the toss and bat first.

    England play 2 fast bowlers for the first time in the series, with Mark Wood coming in for Bashir.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    22-1, Root takes a catch at first slip off Wood after the Indian openers hadn't looked troubled at all in the first few overs.

    Wood strikes again, with Foakes taking the catch, 24-2.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Hartley gets one now in his first over, caught by Duckett. 33-3.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bad drop by Root at slip off Hartley, really shoulda taken that.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    India 93-3 at lunch. Probably woulda taken that at start of play, but disappointing after they were 33-3, especially with the drop by Root.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    185-3 at tea, no wicket in the session. Root's drop of Rohit already looking costly, he's moved on to 97 having been only 27 when he was given a life.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Rohit finally goes for 131, so Root's drop costs over 100 runs. Wood with the wicket, India 237-4.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Looks like England missed a wicket by not reviewing an LBW shout.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    314-5. Jadeja, on 99, initially calls for a quick single, but then sends his partner, who made a rapid 62 on debut, back. Mark Wood, with a smart bit of fielding, runs him out at the non-strikers end.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    326-5 at close of play. Disappointing given they were 33-3; they added nearly 300 for the loss of only 2 further wickets.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    331-6, Anderson strikes and gets the night watchman.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    331-7, Jadeja goes for 112, Root with the wicket.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    India have been docked 5 penalty runs after a second player has run on the middle of the pitch (they received a warning yesterday). It's almost like they're cheating.......
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    388-7 at lunch. Much like yesterday morning, after early breakthroughs, a largely frustrating session, perhaps even moreso given these are tailenders; this eighth wicket partnership is already worth 57.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Pope of all people drops a sitter 😭😭😭.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And now Stokes puts one down.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Finally we take a catch, Rehan Ahmed with the wicket, Anderson, just about with the catch, India 408-8.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Jurel, who was dropped by Pope and Stokes, finally goes, with Foakes taking a smart catch off Rehan Ahmed. India 415-9.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    A frustrating final wicket partnership of 30 takes India to 445 all out, Wood with the final wicket. Dropped catches and poor use of reviews has allowed India to get to a much bigger total than they should have, a big ask for England to match that total, especially given how often our batsmen have got to 20 or 30 and then not gone on so far in this series.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    England reach 31, including the 5 penalty runs, without loss at tea.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Crawley gone for 15, England 89-1. Duckett currently 68 off just 52 balls.

    A century for Duckett, 102 not out off just 88 balls. England 144-1.

    Pope goes LBW for 39 when India review it, 182-2.

    Root comes in and hopefully he'll score some of the runs he's been short of recently.
