  1. 50 runs

    50 for Shreyas Iyer

    A half-century for Shreyas Iyer, celebrated with a six off Jofra Archer. Pulled over fine leg. Lovely striking.

    England will want to see the back of him soon.

    England have had a lot of wickets from edges and mistimed shots.

    Match has gone, England won’t be chasing down 250, let alone 320+. Move on to the next one. Those that fail here again need to be dropped: Mahmood, probably Rashid, Bethell if he doesn’t make a 50.

  4. Ind 181-5

    Axar Patel's innings begins with two dots.

    You say England fans will be feeling reasonably happy, Henry...

  5. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I think England will be feeling reasonably happy with life.

    These are invaluable wickets for England, it delays the surge from India. They are going to have to be a bit cagey, you'd think they'll have to be more discreet. They do have plenty more capable batsmen though.

    I think England have just managed to keep it in control so far. They were able to get something just before it seemed like there would be a major acceleration from India.

    WICKET

    Washington c Buttler b Mahmood 2 (Ind 181-5)

    Gloved and gone.

    Saqib Mahmood's short ball accounts for Washington Sundar, a back-pedaling Jos Buttler taking a comfortable catch behind the stumps.

    India are five down with 17.2 overs to play. Out walks another player who scored an unbeaten half-century at Edgbaston - Axar Patel.

    The Indian batsmen have been very lucky today. A lot of edges and miss hits just missing the fielders.

  9. Ind 181-4

    Washington Sundar and Shreyas Iyer exchange singles. One of the shots hits a seagull in the outfield and the injured bird is carried from the field by Jacob Bethell.

    Washington is down receiving treatment to his right hamstring. Extensive taping going on.

  10. Oh Deep, you shouldn't provoke me into instigating a vote.

    Thumbs up if you think India will get to 300. Thumbs down if you don't.

    Saqib Mahmood will bowl the 33rd over.

  11. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    What is a good total here? With that partnership, India looked on track to get to at least 290, maybe even 300. Now, who knows?

  12. Ind 179-4

    Washington Sundar, fresh from an unbeaten half-century at Edgbaston on Tuesday, is the new man in.

    He dots out his first delivery and then dashes through for a single to finish the over.

  13. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Lapse of concentration as far as I'm concerned. It wasn't short enough for Kohli to pull it. He's batted beautifully so far, this puts India under a bit of pressure now.

    It's exactly what Harry Brook and England needed, it's going their way now.

  14. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Kohli is out the very next ball, would you believe it! Archer with the breakthrough.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Kohli c Rashid b Archer 65 (Ind 178-4)

    Or don't carry on.

    Virat Kohli plays an unconvincing hoick, edges it, and picks out Adil Rashid at third.

    Jofra Archer makes the breakthrough for England. Kohli departs for 65 (66).

    Archer gets the 'important breakthrough' for England as Kohli goes for 65

  16. Not out

    There's a cheer around the ground as it's confirmed that Virat Kohli got his bat on that but it fell comfortably short of Jos Buttler.

    Carry on.

  17. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I'm not sure that it's carried.

  18. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I heard two noises, I think it's inside edge onto the thigh pad.

  19. Umpire review

    Oh, England are very interested in this. Jofra Archer thinks he's had Virat Kohli caught behind. Has it carried?

    The umpires want another look before making a decision.

  20. Ind 177-3

    Adil Rashid pulls the over back nicely. Eight from the first half, just a single in the second.

    He's unlucky not to have a caught and bowled to his name, reacting quickly to a chip from Virat Kohli which falls just short of his outstretched hand, but his figures (0-34 off five) aren't great.
