8.32pm Let there be no illusion, this was a tough wicket to bat on. Rahul managed to take the surface out of the equation with some breathtaking strokes, but the others struggled because of grip and turn. Moeen Ali was superb, but Adil Rashid had an off day in the middle. But England were helped by some superb end-overs bowling by their specialists Jordan and Mills. India have two leggies, and will need them to let it rip of they are to take this series into the decider. Join us in 10 minutes for the chase

KL Rahul: It's not been so easy in the last three-four innings, I wanted to spend time in the middle. 10-15 runs extra wouldn't have hurt the team, but we have to give our best with the ball. New ball was coming on, it took the bowlers a while to understand what length is a good length on this wicket. I wanted to stay till the end, we knew this wouldn't be a high-scoring game.

Jordan to Dhoni, OUT, drags it back onto the stumps. Jordan ends a cracking last over. Bowls the knuckle ball at length outside off, Dhoni looked to fetch this from way outside off over the leg side, but only managed an inside edge that bounced onto the stumps

Jordan to Dhoni, 1 run, OUT, pulled from outside off towards deep square, Dhoni had turned for the second even before Mishra completed the first. Moeen knew the right end to throw, lobs it on the bounce to Jordan, who breaks the stumps. Mishra had already given up and had turned towards the pavillion

Jordan to Pandya, OUT, unfortunate way to go. Pandya drills this down the ground, the ball smashes into the stumps at the bowler's end and deflects to Jordan, who is alert enough to uproot the stump. The more important thing from India's point of view is Dhoni will have strike.

Mills to Pandya, no run, swing and a miss. Another slower delivery, was looking to biff this across the line but was through with the stroke way too early

Mills to Pandey, OUT, got him, another slower delivery. Pandey was backing away to hit that over cover, but the ball dips with the angle, beats his swing and shatters the stumps. Tough day at the office for Pandey. Didn't get going at any stage.

Mills to Pandey, SIX, he's clobbered that deep into the stands at long-on. Slower and fuller, Pandey made room, picked the delivery off the hand, got underneath the delivery and muscled it. Fetch that!

Arshdeep: "Yuvraj and Rahul changed their bat and got out in the next over. Hope Dhoni doesnt make the same mistake "
