11.35am: Well, Bazball. You've been raised. A riotous morning for India, who added 78 runs for the last three wickets, in the space of just 11.5 overs. Ravindra Jadeja got the hundred that his hard work yesterday deserved, and then Jasprit Bumrah, of all people, honked Stuart Broad around Edgbaston for a record 35-run over - almost the full Yuvraj Singh. Having inserted India at the toss, England now have a 400-plus score staring down at them. How will they respond? I think we know how they'll respond... Hemant will be back for the hijinks shortly

Bonkers over, 35 runs off it, 29 to the batter - and Bumrah is now atop a list that was previously headed by Brian Lara and George Bailey (and Keshav Maharaj). India's captain is Bazballing!
Who made the comment earlier about India's tail being vulnerable...?
That is 28 runs off the over, equalling the record for the most in Tests... and there's still two balls to come

From rescuing Indian students in Ukraine to training RRR superstar Ram Charan, Neeraj Goyat has had an eventful last few months. Yet, he's returning to his first love, boxing, tonight - when he takes on the formidable Rachata Khaophimai of Thailand. His mission? To show that he's not done.
Pads and helmet are being run out for short leg. Not in place yet, though
Out comes Mohammed Siraj. Looks like he's used a whole pot of pomade in his TV profile pic

"If India gets to 400, it will be a psychological advantage," declares Zain. "England can crumble to 200 All out in that"
Here's Andy C: "Jadeja past 2,500 runs in his 60th Test and now 8 wickets away from becoming the 14th player in Test history to achieve the 2,500 run : 250 wicket double and will very likely be second fastest to it behind Botham (55th Test) and ahead of Imran Khan (64th) Kapil Dev (65th) Pollock (69th) and Hadlee (70th). With his fielding abilities and on this metric, he's the second best allrounder of all time?"

"Is it still overcast?Is new ball swinging enough?" Still overcast, Mohit. Not much swing yet, though might just need the lacquer to come off
