1.33pm A nice moment as the India fielders go up to Hameed to congratulate him on his efforts. He's given England something to bowl at, but realistically they are at least 100 short of anything defendable

Murali Gopal: "Watch now, Adil Rashid will take 6 wickets in an over to rip the heart out of India's batting. I think I need a coffee to wake up" Hmm ... good idea

Ashwin to Hameed, 1 run, OUT, smashed high and hard over the leg side once more! Good intent as the ball plugs in the deep, but the second run is a tight call ... and Jadeja's shy is smart enough for Ashwin to lob the ball onto the wickets with Anderson inches short!

JM Anderson run out 5 (35m 11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 45.45

Mohammed Shami to Hameed, FOUR, clever batting! Opening the face to a slower ball outside off, and filleted through third man. Boundaries flowing

Shami returns. Quite right too. He was cannibalistic in his head-hunting with the new ball

Mannish: "They say Hameed is in boycott mould but his defensive techniques seems Very much like Mahela Jayawardene ... His blocks with soft hands head always over the ball and the position of the back leg " Cricinfo's own Mark Butcher dubbed him the "Bolton Breezeblock" on the Switch Hit podcast. It's a name that deserves to stick
