Tea. 310-4. Can't see this going wrong now, about an hour to go until they can shake hands and call it a day.

Bell 87* and Root 7*. Trott was caught off Ashwin for 143.

And still they go on.............

315-4 (Bell 88* Root 11*)

Gambhir bowling part-time leg spin and unofficial drinks breaks every other over. Another 5-10 minutes until the draw.

345-4. Bell 115* Root 18*

India will be up around our total by the close today - they will then bat on until at least tea tomorrow wih a lead of around 180 - 200, We will then have 3 - 4 sessions to survive. On this surface it should be possible, but I have seen England collapse time & time again by pushing & prodding and India will have men all round the bat.

Brilliant.
