Yomesh: "537/7 Indias score when Sri Lanka made 952. Can we expect a repeat from India?" -- With that thought in your minds, I will leave you in the excellent hands of Alan Gardner, who will take you through the start of India's innings. Cheers!
2.37pm That will be tea. India's batsmen have an uphill task on their hands. England scored 87 runs after lunch, at less than 2.50 per over, but they kept India's fielders out in the sun for that much longer.

Mishra to Ansari, OUT, looks to sweep from the stumps, misses, and Chris Gaffaney gives it out lbw. Looked out to me, but Broad has reviewed. No edge, I'm pretty sure. Pitched in line, seems to be hitting too. Let's see what ball-tracking says. Pitching on middle or thereabouts, hitting in line, and hitting a large chunk of leg stump. Finally a wicket for Mishra, and finally this innings comes to an end

Mishra to Ansari, no run, back of a length close to off, pushed off the back foot towards short cover
England have handled Amit Mishra pretty well - perhaps they've been watching Nick Compton's legspin masterclass?
