12.20pm As India prepare to push for a series lead, for fans of other Indian sports, ESPN.in has a live blog for the China Open badminton final. Seventh-seed, India's PV Sindhu is playing the eighth-seed Sun Yu of China

11.50am So England need 405 to win. India have 150 overs in which to take 10 wickets. Never has a side chased more than 387 successfully in India. Great fight shown by England on the fourth morning when you would have thought sides would just wait for a declaration. Broad was sensational, Rashid was solid, and Stokes took a magical catch to send Kohli bat, who seemed to batting on a different surface. We are off for lunch. England will start their chase at 12.30pm. Gnasher will start you off

Ali to Mohammed Shami, OUT, and he seems to have struck first ball. Shami is beaten on the outside edge as he plays for an offbreak. The back foot slides to the crease. Bairstow stumps him. Caught on the crease. Not behind it. Shami is out

Mohammed Shami st †Bairstow b Ali 19 (40m 22b 1x4 2x6) SR: 86.36

kiran pani Thot: "Jayant hardwork now paying off. Good Batting."

Stokes to J Yadav, FOUR, superb square drive. Wide length ball, designed to deny Yadav the single, but he drives hard at it. It goes in the air but splits point and cover-point

4b
Stokes to J Yadav, 4 byes, and nothing going for England now. He beats him with a ball that stays low, but Bairstow fails to collect it. The four byes take India's lead to 400

And now they look to deny him the single. The cover ring reinforced. Expect him to hide the ball wide outside off

Stokes to J Yadav, FOUR, nicely played. India puncturing England's spirit with this last-wicket stand. Stokes bowls too straight, and deftly Yadav glances it fine of fine leg

Stokes to J Yadav, no run, full, outside off, solidly pushed to mid-off

Sanjeev: "450, 250, 200 ... getting so close. What a prediction!"
