326-5 off 86 overs (so much for England trying to get through their overs) at stumps. India's match to date but things could rapidly change if we get a few quick breakthroughs in the morning.
Set the alarm for 4am and when we thought Rohit was out early doors, we thought we had them on the ropes until it appeared he had the faintest of inside edges and wasn't out LBW. They would've been 4 down for less than 50 and the rest is history with that mammoth partnership.
326 for 5 and the best home team in World cricket are back in the Groove even without a few of their super stars.
Jimmy tried dropping that one too. Catching practice badly needed in the England camp…
Breaks a very useful Indian partnership of 77 though and brings Bumrah to the crease. Hoping the next two wickets won’t be far behind. Got to keep them below 450 at worst.
The good news is that once we do eventually bowl them out we will start on 5-0 courtesy of the Indian batsmen running from stump to stump. The bad news is that the likes of Jadeja and Ashwin will be more than happy to take that five run hit!
