1.48pm Apologies then. This is indeed tea. England won't have to bat before tea. The new rule says if a team is bowled out within half an hour of tea, tea is taken early. England will start their innings around 2.08pm or thereabouts

Stokes carries the ball with him. He has worked hard, he has bowled smartly, and he has bowled with both heart and skill. England struggling to stay in the match right now, but Stokes can be proud of his effort with the ball. India have caused a lot of damage to England today adding 146 runs to their overnight 271 for 6. The first time ever that three India players batting at 7 or lower have got fifties

Stokes to UT Yadav, OUT, Stokes has five. The outside edge finally pouched. On a length, just outside off, he has to play the angle, and the ball moves away to take the outside edge. Regulation chance for Bairstow but nowadays there is no guarantee regulation catches are taken

UT Yadav c †Bairstow b Stokes 12 (61m 42b 0x4 1x6) SR: 28.57

Nihal G: "Clearly, Rashid is England's man with the golden arm. Look at his initials - AU Rashid."

Stokes to UT Yadav, no run, short of a length, straight, defended with him off the feet

Stokes has a shot at a five-for now

Rashid to UT Yadav, 1 run, another slog, doesn't connect well, but it flies straight of short midwicket. Catchable height but not in his reach
137.5

Rashid to UT Yadav, no run, defends a full ball back to him

Rashid to UT Yadav, no run, poor collection. Umesh slogs across the line, is beaten, and Bairstow doesn't collect it. Not sure his back foot was dragged
137.3
1
Rashid to Mohammed Shami, 1 run, stays back to cut one flat ball for a single. Not timed well but placed between point and cover-point
137.2
1
Rashid to UT Yadav, 1 run, nearly cleans up Shami. Not powerfully hit but by his head. Shami does well to get out of the way. Takes the single to long-on

Rashid to UT Yadav, no run, flighted on off, defended

Mohammed Shami walks in. If these two are not separated in the next 27 minutes, tea will be pushed back until they do or until 30 minutes elapse. How India will love to frustrate a tired England side by keeping them on the field for that extra half hour

Rashid is back. Now a direct contest between Rashid and Stokes for a five-for

END OF OVER:
137 | 6 Runs 1 Wkt | IND: 414/9

Stokes to J Yadav, OUT, Stokes finally gets a much-deserved wicket. Bairstow gets away with his drop. Stokes bowls a slower offcutter looking to keep Jayant on strike. Jayant has an almighty swing at it, fails to keep it down, and Moeen takes a sharp catch diving to his left at short straight midwicket

J Yadav c Ali b Stokes 55 (165m 141b 5x4 0x6) SR: 39.00
