10.57am: Hard yakka for England, but they will walk off satisfied. Their rookie spin attack just about held their own, while James Anderson's neverending story included a miserly three-for in the toughest conditions. India's last four wickets fell for 32 this morning - in fast, they lost 6 for 95 going back to Axar Patel's dismissal late on day one. But for Yashasvi Jaiswal, no one managed to convert time at the crease into a significant score (which you can read two ways). Jaiswal's magnificent efforts, scoring more than half the runs and 175 more than the next best, at least mean India have posted a decent total. We'll soon see the true value. Bazball starting in less than 10 mins

Shoaib Bashir to Mukesh Kumar, OUT, round the wicket, fired across the bows, Root holds another fat outside edge! Flew off the shoulder of the bat with Mukesh groping in defence, smartly taken going high to his right. Bashir gets the final wicket to fall and India have been wrapped up just shy of 400

Mukesh Kumar c Root b Shoaib Bashir 0 (6m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Stokes tinkers: slip, leg slip and short leg

"So 400 is under par on this pitch? or it may not be so easy as it looks?" To paraphrase Miller in his day one report: we'll only know once England have Bazballed on it, Vinod

Rehan Ahmed to Mukesh Kumar, no run, googly first up, beats the bat and deflects away off the front pad. Heading down leg, I think

Mukesh Kumar is last man in. Slip and gully

Rehan Ahmed to Bumrah, OUT, does the job, jabbed to slip! Rehan gets the ninth wicket for England. Zippy legbreak on fourth stump and Bumrah pushes a little too hard in defence, comes fast off the edge but well held by Root

Rehan Ahmed to Bumrah, FOUR, starts with an inviting full toss, Bumrah dispatches him through midwicket! There was cover out leg side but this was hit well in front of the sweeper

"Anderson's figures are barely believable," gasps Egok. And 8-over spells at 41?? Get outta here!" But does he get a rest now...? Yes, Stokes goes to Rehan Ahmed to try and finish this innings off

  • Jasprit Bumrah2 (4b)
  • James Anderson25-4-47-3
  • Shoaib Bashir36-1-135-2

Here's Prithvi: "Jimmy with his mind games. The ball before the dismissal, he dangled a carrot and Jaiswal left it alone. He made a snarky comment asking him why he wasn't going for it. Looks like it got to Jaiswal else such a shot was completely uncalled for with the field back." I think we can forgive the youngster falling for it (if so), given he'd batted for more than seven hours by that point

Anderson to Kuldeep Yadav, 1 run, slightly leg side and blocked, tip and run from Kuldeep... could be tight as Anderson chases after it, giving nothing away. But Bumrah is home as the throw comes in

Anderson to Kuldeep Yadav, no run, does him again, this one slicing through an attempted defensive prod
108.4

Anderson to Kuldeep Yadav, no run, fourth stump, 129kph/80mph. Wobble seam, I think, and it comes back a fraction. Kuldeep wanted to leave all day, and does so
