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

Anderson to Mohammed Siraj, OUT, swiped to mid-off, that's yer lot! Anderson gets five, for the 32nd time in Tests, with Broad taking a good running catch over his head. Siraj can't emulate his captain, but India will be very happy with their morning's work

Mohammed Siraj c Broad b Anderson 2 (17m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

Anderson to Bumrah, 1 run, short of a good length in the channel, dabbed down to third for one more

Anderson to Bumrah, (no ball) 1 run, beamer! Although it was a slower ball that came out high, so no warning for the bowler. Anderson holds up his hand in apology

END OF OVER:
84 | 35 Runs | IND: 412/9

  • Jasprit Bumrah29 (14b)
  • Mohammed Siraj1 (2b)
  • Stuart Broad18-3-89-1
  • James Anderson21-4-56-4

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!

83.6
1
Broad to Bumrah, 1 run, tip and run, Broad sweeps up and throws himself into the stumps with Siraj diving for his ground. Just makes it home!

Who made the comment earlier about India's tail being vulnerable...?

83.5
6
Broad to Bumrah, SIX, splatted for six more! World record for Bumrah! More short stuff and he whirls it up and away over deep backward square leg. Knee in the air, some Calypso flourish to that one

That is 28 runs off the over, equalling the record for the most in Tests... and there's still two balls to come

83.4

Broad to Bumrah, FOUR, swung off his feet through midwicket! Bumrah ends in a crumpled heap, but he's middled it nevertheless! Four in front of deep square leg
83.3
4
Broad to Bumrah, FOUR, thick-edged to fine leg, four more to Bumrah... and that boundary takes India galloping past 400!
83.2
4
Broad to Bumrah, FOUR, full toss, bludgeoned through mid-on! Must have been close to another no-ball, on height - but Aleem Dar only signals four. Smoked down the ground by India's captain
83.2
7nb
Broad to Bumrah, (no ball) SIX, hoicked into the boundary boards, another fat top edge... and it's a no-ball as well! Bumrah finagling vital runs here. This one went fine of third, but Leach was never getting to it
83.2
5w
Broad to Bumrah, 5 wides, dug in short, clears Billings! Way above the batter as he began to swing for it again. Wides signalled
83.1
4
Broad to Bumrah, FOUR, hooked, into the gap! Massive top edge, and I think Crawley might have just got to it... Bounced through and over the rope

END OF OVER:

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.

Anderson to Bumrah, 1 leg bye, length ball, Bumrah motions at it on the way down to fine leg via the pads. Anderson questions whether he was playing a shot, but Richard Kettleborough is happy to signal leg byes

Anderson to Bumrah, no run, back of a length over middle and leg, Bumrah blocks

Pads and helmet are being run out for short leg. Not in place yet, though

Anderson to Mohammed Siraj, 1 run, dug in short, climbing towards the ribs, fended away and Billings has to give chase allowing Siraj to get off the mark

Anderson to Mohammed Siraj, no run, length ball on off stump, defended square

Out comes Mohammed Siraj. Looks like he's used a whole pot of pomade in his TV profile pic

Anderson to Jadeja, OUT, bowled 'im! Jadeja's work is done, he walks off to a standing ovation, and lots of back pats from his team-mates. Took a big swing across the line at a length ball, and Anderson hits the top of middle

RA Jadeja b Anderson 104 (269m 194b 13x4 0x6) SR: 53.60

"If India gets to 400, it will be a psychological advantage," declares Zain. "England can crumble to 200 All out in that"

82.1

Anderson to Jadeja, no run, slightly back of a length outside off, Jadeja runs it through backward point, holds his ground

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?"

END OF OVER:
82 | 1 Run | IND: 375/8

  • Jasprit Bumrah0 (5b)
  • Ravindra Jadeja104 (192b)

Broad to Bumrah, no run, fullish and sliding down leg, nudged away to midwicket

Two balls for Bumrah. Three slips in

"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

Broad to Jadeja, 1 run, back of a length on fourth stump, Jaddu cuts smartly down to third
81.3

Broad to Jadeja, no run, skips down and is beaten, the ball flying through over the stumps! Trying to flay Broad off his length, nearly gets cleaned up
