7.05pm A dramatic end to the day will give India some much needed joy, after Duckett and Crawley batted through more than an hour to take England to the close without a wicket. India dominated most of the day, taking a lead of 373 thanks to fifties from nightwatcher Akash Deep, and allrounders Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja and a magnificent century from Yashasvi Jaiswal. But then, Crawley and Duckett batted with a much more circumspect approach than we are used to to deny Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj. All until the penultimate ball of the day when Siraj went through Crawley's defences. England will still hope for a Headingly-like chase. India will look to make amends. Either way, we should have a dramatic finish to a dramatic series tomorrow. Join us again for Day 4 at The Oval. For tonight, it's Abhimanyu signing off on behalf of Miller, Ranjith and everyone else here at ESPNcricinfo.

Mohammed Siraj to Crawley, OUT, Knocks him over with a yorker! Siraj gets Crawley to give India a boost at stumps, with just two balls to go in the day! Wobble seam yorker and Crawley is late on bringing the bat down and it knocks back the off stump! Siraj brings out the 'SIIIUUUU' celebration, as Crawley just stands there for a second, shoulders hunched, knowing he and Duckett did all the hard work through an hour. And now tomorrow England need 324 runs and India need eight wickets (assuming Woakes can't bat)

Ank: "This feels eerily similar to Leeds, sedate start by their reputation, 10 wickets in hand the next day and a record chase down, England could win this from here on"
