    50-5, Root goes for 7.

    Not that it would make any difference, but we've had very little from the umpires today, another very marginal umpires call.

    And now Stokes gone for 15, 50-6.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    50-7.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    122 all out, India win by 434.

    4th Test, England win the toss and bat first. Lots of comments about the cracks in the pitch already.

    Phew, Crawley clean bowled, but it was a no-ball. Woulda been a first Test wicket for the debutant Akash Deep, in for the rested Bumrah.

    Duckett goes for a subdued 11 off 21 balls, never really got going in the face of some disciplined bowling. 47-1.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Oh dear, Pope goes for a second ball duck, and the debutant has two wickets in three balls. 47-2.

    Crawley bowled and it's a legal delivery this time. He's gone for 42, 57-3.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bairstow goes for 38, England in trouble at 109-4.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Stokes gone in the last over before lunch, 112-5. Ball kept really low for the first session of a Test match.

    Very good afternoon session, we reach 198-5 at tea; Root, playing conventionally, is on 67 which is more than twice his previous highest score in the series, and Foakes is on 28.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Foakes goes for 47, England 225-6.

    It looked like a disaster when I first checked the score this morning, but this is beginning to look competitive now - certainly on this pitch.

    Hartley gone for 13, England 245-7.

    Yeah, the score at lunch was very disappointing, but Foakes and Root showed, in the afternoon session, what can be achieved on the pitch. Stokes got a horror ball, but I suspect India will get well ahead of us on first innings.

    A century for Root, 103 not out, England 279-7.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    302-7 at close of play, a very good comeback from 112-5 at lunch.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Robinson makes his first Test match half century, England 331-7.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Robinson gloves one to the keeper off Jadeja for 58, ending a partnership of 102 with Root. England 347-8.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bashir goes for a duck in the same over, 349-9.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Anderson out for a duck, Root unbeaten on 122, England 353 all out, a very good total from 112-5.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Anderson gets a wicket in his second over, India 4-1.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    India 34-1 at lunch.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Jaiswal edges one through to Foakes, it goes upstairs for an umpire's review for a fair catch. On seeing the replay, England were convinced it was going to be given, but it's given not out, that it didn't carry. Must admit I thought it was just short, but a lot of catches seem to be given that I think have bounced on the ground rather than the fingers being fully underneath.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bashir gets an LBW decision go his way; when reviewed it was umpire's call on impact. India 86-2.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bashir with another umpire's call LBW, on hitting the stumps this time. India 112-3.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bashir with another wicket, an easy catch for Pope, India 130-4.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    India 131-4 at tea.
