1.25pm: Right, down to brass tacks. Is that enough to make for a comfortable fourth innings? India have crushed it for four-and-a-half sessions, but this is where England *trigger warning* under Bazball come alive. "They can have as many as they want and we'll go and get them," was the confident declaration of Ben Duckett last night. He'll be back out alongside Zak Crawley soon to let his bat do the talking
My colleague Sampath has dug out a couple of Jazball stats for you while we wait for England's openers to get padded up: 48 sixes by India in this series, most by any team in a single series. India's 47 vs SA in 2019 was the previous highest. And India's 28 sixes in this match are the most by a team in a Test, surpassing their 27 in 2019 vs SA in Vizag
"Can Root make up the 111 he conceded?" His first century of the tour, Rachael
"The pitch is still doing good, there is still an outside chance that Eng will get closer to the score and challenge Indian bowlers!" squeaks Karthik. "I feel India should have batted another 10 odd overs till tea!"
"What is the actual record of 4th innings Bazball chases? How many successful, failed, drawn, and highest target for each? " I think it's eight wins and three defeats, Dave. And the record is Edgbaston 2022, 378 against India - also England's overall record in Tests
India's lead swells above 550
Rehan continues with Jaiswal on strike
Hello again, folks. We've reached the point where normally it would be time to whip out this clip - but then again, do Ben Stokes' England ever think they're finished? It looks, by the way, as if Jaiswal and Sarfaraz thought they had handed out enough of a beating, starting to walk off together before Rohit shooed them back from the balcony (he hadn't got his spikes on). But you suspect it won't be long

Drinks have been called but we've also spotted Rohit in his whites now. Declaration coming up very soon you think. Here's Alan Gardner again, for the next hour.
