4.41pm: That's a mighty fine effort from India, make no bones about it. They were inserted for the second match running, then slipped to 211 for 5 in benign conditions - at which point, England would have hoped to knock them over for something like 350 or fewer. But Shubman Gill manned the barricades with an immense knock, batting for more than eight hours to post the highest score by an Indian in England, and for an India captain overall. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar gave him stout support in adding over 300 for the sixth and seventh wickets, meaning that when the tail-end collapse did come, it could do no harm

"Not a single dropped catch in 150 overs is incredible." Tbf, there haven't been that many chances to drop 'em, Abhimanyu
Siraj has had a new bat run out. Is this the Big Bertha?

"Highest number of overs bowled by England in bazball?" Yep, I think so, Sid. Eclipsing the 145 NZ soaked up at Trent Bridge in 2022
