Buttler dropped by Pant. Indian seamers really bowling good lines. England have dropped 15 catches thus far in this Test series. Some absolute sodas behind the wicket too.

If nothing else Kohli has exorcised his English demons.

England take it to a fifth with India needing just the one wicket. Meanwhileā€¦

ā€œTickets for day five of the third Specsavers Test match between England and India are available from Ā£10 for adults.

Junior prices start from Ā£5 with Under 21 tickets in the William Clarke stand on sale for Ā£9. ā€œ

How can they charge people to attend? Unbelievable!

Very poor decision by the ECB.

No suprise, they are all about making money

Well done to India, they have played great all test

Kohli averaging 73 this series.

India with a 27 run lead.

Pujara 134* and Moeen 5-60 odd

Poms none for not many in the second dig.

Very evenly poised game. Big first session coming up in a couple of hours.

Will be good seeing how the poms go this innings, their top order is nearly as bad as ours

Cook nicked one to slip off Bumrah. Took 3 grabs to finally get it.
Moeen in at 3, has looked shaky.

Got to 2-92 and right on lunch, Shami got Jennings lbw for 36.

First ball after lunch, Bairstow gets the leg peg knocked out of the ground.

Root there on 30 and Stokes just in.

I know their light on for quality bats, but the poms have such an unbalanced side. Playing with two wicket keepers and four all rounder types, with Stokes the only genuine one

Yep itā€™s a joke. By all reports there are some young guys making stacks of runs in county cricket but they arenā€™t getting picked

Cook is done

Jennings is trash

Root is a number 4 not a number 3

Buttler in the form of his life and Curran 36* probably have got the Poms in a strong position in the game. That pitch is dry and I suspect will be tough chasing anything north of 250 with Moeen and Rashid to bowl on it as it breaks up further. But yes, England have some real concerns with the openers, who bats at 3, and who takes the gloves out of Bairstow and Buttler, although I think itā€™s down to injury as to why Bairstow isnā€™t keeping wicket in this Test.

Curran has done well as a hitting no 8.

78 & 36*
And i think he did well before he got dropped for Stokes
