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
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
Slip and leg slip for Mukesh
India on the brink of 400, which was surely their minimum

"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

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
Three slips in the cordon
