2.42pm Job done for India. They bowled first, happy to chase whatever England could set them, and it's some way short of England's usual 300-plus standards on such wickets. Bairstow and Root both fell for ducks early on, and despite decent efforts from Roy, Buttler and Moeen, they kept losing wickets at key moments - four of them to Hardik Pandya, whose heavy lengths have been mightily effective in this series. Chahal mopped up the tail, and India will need 260 to claim the series. Game on!

Hardik Pandya "I had to bend my back a bit, change my plans and realise you need to use the short ball as a wicket-taking ball. I always fancy my bouncer. Livingstone likes to take the short ball on and that gives me goosebumps. He hit me for two sixes, but one wicket made a big difference. The body's fine, the captain is fantastic at managing my workload. The chase is about intent, the wicket is pretty good to bat on. We'll fancy our chances to chase it down."

So there we go. Sreshth will be here for the opening exchanges of India's pursuit.

Edmund : "Mo and Livingstone will be a handful in the second innings of this match. With India's shaky batting England have a big chance here."

Yushey Tusi : "Willey and Overton should have stayed some more time in the field instead of going in for reckless shots against a prominent spinner. Then, maybe England might have gone to 300. "

Prakash: "Ind managed to bowled out eng 3 times 
. Strange because it's bowing always let ind down but wow in last couple of years .. bowling became phenomenal "
