- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR40.1 Dawson strikes quickly on his comeback! An eight year wait for a Test wicket ends seven balls into his first spell. Jaiswal pushes forward to defend at one on a good length outside off stump. The ball pitches well short of Jaiswal's defence and doesn't come into the left-hander as much as he expected it to. The outside edge is neatly taken at first slip by Brook 120/229.6 finds the edge this time! Woakes perseveres in the channel outside off, a hint of away movement from back of a length. Rahul was squared up as he looked to punch off the back foot, and Crawley at third slip gobbles the offering! It's a priceless breakthrough for England's best bowler of the morning 94/173.5 caught at long leg! Stokes the man for England once again and they are jubilant. Dug in short from around the wicket and the angle and bounce cramps him for room a bit as he tries to swivel-pull. The top edges flies down to long leg, where Carse takes the catch well inside the boundary. Stokes gets Sai Sudharsan for the third time in three innings this series. 235/449.1 huge appeal as Gill offers no shot, you cannot do that to Stokes, and finally umpire Rod Tucker raises the finger! Gill reviews. Pitched outside off stump on a good length and came back into the right-hander, Gill thrust his front foot forward and just outside the line of off stump and raised his bat out of the way, he was hit flush below the knee roll and that is plumb. Three reds. Stokes' lethal inducker strikes again 140/3112.3 bowled him! Just like the second innings at Lord's, the off stump takes a walk as Pant tries to defend from the crease but is late on it and is beaten by movement away from him. Archer pitched that on a length from around the wicket and got the ball to seam away after angling into the left-hander. Pant gets a round of applause from the crowd and a pat from the last man Siraj ... it's been quite something to watch, him batting with a broken foot 349/984.5 this was coming! Archer has been on point this morning and this time the edge carries to second slip where Harry Brook dives to his right and catches the ball inches from the turf. similar ball to the previous ones that drew those edges - on a good length with sharp away movement off the pitch, squaring up Jadeja as he tries to defend from the crease. Archer bags another left-hander. 266/5101.4 edged and snaffled by the leaping gully! Stokes does it again for England, though he needed some help from Duckett in the field, flying through the air and taking the catch high to his left. Full and swinging, Lord Thakur has been a model of discipline today but couldn't resist the booming drive that takes the edge 314/6109.2 caught right on the edge of the boundary at long leg! Stokes bangs it in short at Sundar's body from around the wicket, Sundar responds by playing that swivel-hook, Woakes settles under it and takes a well judged catch. the England captain takes his fourth wicket ... 337/7109.5 caught behind, five for Ben Stokes, his first five-for in eight years! What a ball to get for the debutant. Pitches on a good length close to off stump, extra bounce and seam movement away. Kamboj has to play at it and he prods tentatively, gets a thin edge through to Jamie Smith. 337/8114.1 short of a length and down the leg side, Bumrah tries to swing towards long leg and misses ... hang on are England reviewing for a caught behind? Yes they have. The ball was a fair way away from the body as Bumrah swivelled and swung and ultra edge shows a little spike as the ball passes the glove! Archer has dismissed a right-hander for the first time in the series ... and that's the end of India's innings. I think Root was the one behind that review, Archer wasn't so interested. 358/10Extras30 (b 4, lb 8, nb 4, w 14)TOTAL358 all out (114.1 Overs, RR: 3.13)Fall of wickets: 1-94 (KL Rahul, 29.6 ov), 2-120 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 40.1 ov), 3-140 (Shubman Gill, 49.1 ov), 3-212* (Rishabh Pant, retired not out ), 4-235 (Sai Sudharsan, 73.5 ov), 5-266 (Ravindra Jadeja, 84.5 ov), 6-314 (Shardul Thakur, 101.4 ov), 7-337 (Washington Sundar, 109.2 ov), 8-337 (Anshul Kamboj, 109.5 ov), 9-349 (Rishabh Pant, 112.3 ov), 10-358 (Jasprit Bumrah, 114.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR31.6 nicked to slip, the extra ball does it! Crawley is hanging around, not sure if it carried, but India are celebrating. Third umpire Kumar Dharmasena is going to have a look... reckon the fingers are under it, though. Good catch from KL Rahul, who stayed low and scooped up the edge as the ball straightened from round the wicket. A fine knock but still no hundred against India for Crawley 166/138.1 short, wide... and nicked behind! Duckett falls for 94! Maiden Test wicket for Anshul Kamboj and it's a big one. Duckett looks crestfallen, as if he can't believe he has missed out. Threw the kitchen sink at the cut shot, but only managed a feather through to Jurel, Kamboj celebrated and Rod Tucker's finger went up straight away.
