    52.3 Cleans him up with a ripper! And it's the big wicket of Jaiswal. Gets the length ball to land around off stump and straighten after pitching. Jaiswal plays all around it and sees his stumps in a mess. He walks back to loud applause, and what a knock this has been. Stokes raises his finger in celebration. Can he raise England's hopes as well? 221/3
    24.5 the first wicket falls! Out of the blue, Rahul climbs into another drive, on a wide line, Carse found a bit of late movement away, and the batter ended up flicking at it rather than clobbering it. It's a fizzing edge into Root's upturned hands at first slip. With six minutes to go until lunch, Carse has his first Test wicket on English soil 91/1
    25.4 leg-sided from Stokes again, no doubt about that one! What a horrible way for Sudharsan to go, it's a strangle, but a played-for strangle! More swing to confound the new boy as he tries to put bat on ball, Smith leaps wonderfully to his right, clings on in both hands, a palpable nick on its way! 92/2
    101.5 Oh, out of nowhere England have a wicket. Richly deserved for Bashir who has bowled well today. Floated on the stumps, Gill jumps down the track, does not reach the pitch as he goes across the line. Gets it off the bottom of the bat with Tongue taking a comfortable catch at deep backward square leg. End of a top innings for Gill on Test captaincy debut. Walks back to a warm applause from the Headingley crowd 430/4

    107.2 He shoulders arms to the incoming delivery and is trapped right in front of the stumps. The umpire's finger is up in a jiffy. Pant was definitely looking a little tentative against Tongue and he's gotten into a very tricky position here. He has reviewed though. Short of a good length ball that moves back into Pant around off and middle. He shoulders arms and the replays confirm the ball would have thudded into the top of middle stump 453/6
    104.6 A stunner from Pope at short extra cover ends Nair's comeback after four balls. Fuller in length well outside off, Nair reaches for it looking to lace it through covers. Can only mistime it as far as Pope who leaps to his left, goalkeeper style and hangs on. The landing was also perfect. 447/5

    112.1 chopped on! Third of the day for Tongue, and India's last recognised batter trudges off. Round the wicket, cramped on the angle, looked like he got the ball to seam back in as well. Big inside edge and the ball cannoned into leg stump 469/9
    108.4 Edged and taken. Four in the session for England, and they will definitely be happy with their morning's work. Stokes pushes this fuller and well wide of off stump. Thakur throws his hands at it, gets a thick outside edge and Smith does the rest. Fourth wicket for Stokes as well, who has put in a lionhearted effort. 454/7
    110.3 steered to second slip! Easy as you like, catching practice for Brook, and Bumrah goes for a duck. Pitched up, 86mph/138kph in the channel, drawing Bumrah into a chary poke... and the thick outside edge is safely pouched, drawing a gurgle of appreciation from the crowd. India's collapse gathers pace 458/8

    0.6 WHADDABALL! Unplayable from Boom, and Crawley is a goner! He was looking to work this leg side, so straight was the initial line, only for it to jackknife away from him at the last moment, kiss the edge and then the thigh pad, before being superbly held by the diving Karun Nair at first slip. Brilliance from Bumrah and India strike in the opening over 4/1

    28.3 bowled 'im, off the inside edge! Middle stump pegged back. Bumrah breaks the stand, picks up his second. No great celebration this time, but again that little bit of magic from India's premier quick. Full, enticing the drive, just enough movement to defeat the swinging blade... and clunk goes the woodwork behind Duckett 126/2
    51.1 Prasidh has his first wicket of the Test match and it's the short and wide ball that does Pope in. Almost a nothing delivery, well outside off, he shapes up for a cut, but can only manage a thin edge with Pant doing the rest. India have struck early and it's not Bumrah with the W. That brings an end to an absolutely top innings from Pope, who walks back to resounding applause. 225/4
    46.3 Dial Bumrah for a wicket. He gets Root for the 10th time in Test cricket and India have another opening. On a length outside off stump holding its line after pitching. Root pokes at it, gets a thick outside edge which is snapped up by Nair reverse-cupped. A third wicket for India and Bumrah 206/3
    87.3 He falls on 99! Straight down Thakur's throat at deep backward square leg. Oh, dear! Brook throws his head back and is filthy with himself. Banged in short on leg stump, he hooks and Thakur didn't have to move much. 398/7
    64.5 drawn into the fuller length, and Stokes nicks off! Massive moment, slightly against the run of play! It's a lovely ball, on a fourth-stump line, with a bit of away-wobble, Stokes is committed to the initial line and grazes it through to Pant! He tosses his bat in the air, then bites it in frustration as he stalks off! 276/5
    79.3 The short ball ploy works! A combination of Jadeja and Sudharsan gives India the breakthrough. Banged in short outside off, he pulls but mistimes this with the ball going to Jadeja at deep square leg. He catches the ball, realises is going after the ropes and relays the catch to Sudharsan who is lurking close. Smith goes three balls before the new ball is due. 349/6

    98.5 nope, he can't manage it! That's just magical bowling from Jasprit Bumrah! Fizzing, backspinning away-swing from Bumrah, on such a tight, full line, hitting the perfect length to draw the drive, then bursting through the slenderest of gates! Woakes played a brilliant hand, but he's done all ends up! 460/9
    94.5 well bowled at last! Fires in the yorker, with Carse already standing on the square leg umpire's toes. Had he missed his mark that would have been blazed through the covers. Instead it was perfection, out of his reach, dipping below the flailing toe of the bat, and a brutal stand ends! 453/8

    100.4 bowled him! Jasprit Bumrah has his five-wicket haul! It is another impeccable, unplayable delivery, angled in, pitching on off, straightening off the seam, and pinging the top of off! India's greatest has salvaged the first-innings lead, and a breathless England innings is done! 465/10

    3.1 That's the first wicket for England as Jaiswal departs. Top, top delivery! Short of a good length ball at 87mph/140kph that lands just outside off and nips away late. Jaiswal pushes at it, gets a thin edge and Smith takes a comfortable catch. Just what England would have hoped for 16/1

    84.2 extra bounce, dragged on! Carse's energy prises the opening! It's perhaps his third error outside the line of off in 247 balls, similar to the chance that was dropped at gully ... just lured into the wider line but deceived by the lift off the pitch. It's a slightly weary cut, down into his off stump and off he troops with a salute to all corners. What a sensational anchoring role he's played. On his watch, India have seized the initiative in this Test! 333/5
    20.5 inswinger, clipped to short midwicket! Huge moment, and b-i-i-i-g movement from Stokes too! It wasn't the ideal line, shaping past the pads, but it went late, and Sai's timing was confounded as he pinged it a touch airily to Crawley, who clung on well! A decent knock from the debutant, especially after his first-innings 0. But Stokes, on the pads, does him again 82/2
    24.6 inside-edged onto his off stump! Massive moment in this Test! Carse had been battering at the door for most of the over. Gill thought this one was a fraction wider and looked to run the ball down through the cordon, but it kept tailing back, and wriggled down into his timbers off an angled blade! Gill gave a long hard stare at the pitch... did that hit one of these cracks? 92/3
    71.4 Bashir gets Pant before tea, that'll stop the bleeding of runs somewhat. Bashir screams in delight but Pant's played a gem. Rahul gives him another hug. He walks back to warm applause. Was a 77ks length ball outside off that Pant tried to drag across with the slog sweep. Edges it to long-on. Off the bottom. 287/4

    85.6 full length from Woakes, drilled back into his safe hands! Nair is slightly stunned at what he's done there, through his stroke a touch too soon, though he did nail it. Woakes was perfectly placed in his followthrough, and he retains his record of taking a wicket in every home Test since 2014! 335/6

    90.1 full length outside off, flashed to Root at first slip! Thakur's stay is done, in a similar fashion to Rahul's in the first innings. Chasing the width with an expansive drive and a fizzing edge. Root implies it wobbled late as he clung on well. England keep picking them off 349/7
    90.2 Siraj gloves one to the keeper and is hurt. He wrings his right hand through his way back. Issue seems to be with the index or middle finger. Short ball banged into the pitch, angled into the body. It cramped him for room on the pull, went through with it anyway. Keeper dove left and took it low. Two in two for Tongue 349/8
    90.4 Thick inside edge onto knock middle out of the ground. Three in four for Tongue. India's collapse extends to 5 for 16. 139ks and full, Bumrah tried to launch it straight and has to walk back. Big smiles from Stokes and Tongue 349/9
    95.6 Takes the chance, skied... and Tongue takes a great catch. Moves to the left from midwicket, three-quarter of the way back, had to dive to the left last second and took it low. Was a length ball wide of off, Prasidh tried to launch it across the line with the spin. 364/10

    42.2 Away swing, and taken at slip, against the run of play. Fullish ball was angling in towards off and Crawley tried to drive through cover without moving across. Would've been okay had the ball not moved. On the up. Went high off the bat and quickly, Rahul took it sharply to his right. 188/1
    54.3 Softy, taken at cover. Duckett falls for 149! 128ks full and wide, Duckett gets on one knee and tries to muscle a drive. Ball hovers low to the left of Reddy, the sub fielder, who takes it. Duckett walks back to a rousing ovation as the sun comes back. 253/3
    44.4 Another beaut from Krishna, this one nips back to find the inside edge and castle Pope. Might be on the leg. Good length, landed around off and seamed in. Pope looked to punch it straight but couldn't account for the movement. Leg stump dinked. Prasidh pumps his fist. India have two after the break 206/2

    54.4 Strangled. Classic Lord Thakur, gets Brook first ball with a leg-stump half volley. Brook walked towards the ball, tried to glance it on the move. Had to reach out too far and feathered it. Pant dives low to the left to take it well. Thakur celebrates with wide arms 253/4
    67.3 lives by the reverse-sweep... and dies by it! Gill is the man to take the catch at short third, he punches the air in delight. India are still in this. Finally the one-note approach from Stokes does him in, some bite and turn finding the top edge and it's a dolly of catch for one of two men behind square. First of the match for Jadeja, and what a time to strike! 302/5
