134-9. Game on. Can see India starting their second innings later on today. Unless, of course, England don't make up the 1st innings deficit.

Is there ever a test match that goes the whole distance these days?
Terrible batting technique on show for both sides.
Bring back Boycott and Gooch!

I couldn’t watch Boycott again. Excellent technique but he was so boring...
Yes,the batting has been poor but the pitch is not a 5 day pitch. However this is dramatic to watch.
That's some fightback
33 feels like a decent advantage on that wicket, but it's definitely game on again. 60:40 in favour of India rather than 90:10 like at the start of the day.
Will need to score 200 with the bat now to give the bowlers a good chance

Brilliant from England, and probably underlines that they mad ethe wrong selection with spinners (and could still cost them 2nd time out). Anderson has given great control, Archer is a wicket threat but it's another game where Broad really isn't contributing. So he should probably be the one to miss out.
As for where we are at in this game, particularly while it's light, it will be a huge mistake to chew up balls before the sun goes down. England need to be as positive as possible. If you can only bat for 50-60 overs, don't dawdle at 2-2.5 rpo. Bat for 45 if you need bat at 4 per over. If you get out so be it, but look to be positive from moment 1.

Was expecting India to still be batting when I flicked over to check the score so that was a surprise. And as I say that Crawley has just gone on the very first ball of the second innings
That is an absolute beauty first up. Unplayable.
That as miles outside the line.
