Stat from Sampath: India's first five partnerships across both innings added 780 runs, the second-most for them in a Test match. The 781 against Australia at Sydney in 2004 is the highest. The last five stands across innings combined for only 55 runs, the fifth lowest for India in a Test match.

Sunny: "it's not always bumrah wins matches for India, I feel it's time for either Siraj or Prakash to step up in this innings for India to win..or else it's gone for India…371 in almost 100 overs at a rate of 3.7 is chaseable in this bazball era"

Karthik Siram: "Can someone please explain the effect of roller?" The heavier it is, the more it flattens the pitch. Makes it easier to bat generally

Shabd: "Stange test match for India. 5 centuries and 6 Ducks!"

janaki: "England should have taken the Matt Roller"

5:50pm, Day 4, Innings break: India have set England 371 to win, 29 minutes of batting today. England will take the heavy roller. Quite a confusing session so far this. India didn't attack the new ball; Woakes, Tongue and Carse hit their lengths consistently and kept batters quiet. Once Rahul fell for his excellent 137, the floodgates opened. Tongue took three in four as India's lower order crumbled again. Jadeja batted out five overs at the end, but could India have used that time to be bowling?

Shoaib Bashir to Prasidh Krishna, OUT, Takes the chance, skied... and Tongue takes a great catch. Moves to the left from midwicket, three-quarter of the way back, had to dive to the left last second and took it low. Was a length ball wide of off, Prasidh tried to launch it across the line with the spin.

Bashir now brought in. Stokes has been warned by the ump for taking too much time between overs. It's the second, one more and there'll be a five-run penalty
