3.00pm England won't be too disappointed, but will definitely ask themselves if they could've got a few more. Ashwin and Jadeja picked up six wickets, Axar and Bumrah two apiece. Jadeja was a touch expensive, in fact this is his most expensive analysis when he has bowled over 10 overs.

There were various pockets when England looked good. First when they picked the pacers for 41 off eight overs, then Crawley and Root stabilised them following a three-wicket spell. Barstow and Stokes looked good for a while in the middle session, and then Stokes found some support from the lower order to prise out crucial runs to get them past 200. It keeps them in the game for sure on a surface that's turning, but is far from a day-three or day-four bunsen that you have heard a few times over.

Bumrah to Stokes, OUT, beauty to castle Stokes! Gets this to angle in from round the stumps, Stokes was looking to give himself some room to pick the gap over cover but saw this jag away to beat the outside edge and hit top of middle. having given himself room, Stokes strangely seemed to suddenly try and defend instead of going over the top. At Bumrah's pace, you have no chance once you've erred, especially when he's on target.
