After 102 overs, India 359/7 (Dhruv Jurel 10, Ravichandran Ashwin 18)

Tidy over from Hartley after the drinks interval, conceding just one with Ashwin setting off for a single with a drive in front of square. FOUR! Ashwin collects his third boundary after driving Rehan through the cover region! Ash, however, is found guilty of running into the danger zone of the pitch, and umpire Joel Wilson, who had given Ravindra Jadeja multiple warnings on the opening day, decides he’s had enough at this point and awards five penalty runs to the Englishmen as a result. First time this is happening since the second Test in India’s tour of Bangladesh in December 2022. Last time this happened on Indian soil was in the Indore Test against New Zealand in 2016. Ashwin, meanwhile, collects a single off the final delivery to keep the strike.

After 100 overs, India 353/7 (Dhruv Jurel 10, Ravichandran Ashwin 12)

Jurel nearly offers Wood a catch at backward point after slicing a length delivery from Hartley, with the ball landing just short of the fielder. The left-arm spinner bowls out a maiden, his first of the day and fourth so far in the innings. Spin from both ends for the first time today as leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed replaces Anderson. Two right-handed batters at the crease right now, so Stokes decides to have a bowler turning the ball away from the batter from both ends. Just one off the over, with Ashwin setting off for a single in the penultimate delivery. Drinks brought to the field at the end of the 100th over.

After 98 overs, India 352/7 (Dhruv Jurel 10, Ravichandran Ashwin 11)

Tom Hartley introduced for the first time today, with the left-arm spinner replacing Mark Wood, who ends up bowling a two-over spell. Jurel collects a single in the third delivery after punching a slightly short delivery through cover. Anderson continues from the other end, and the senior pacer might just be in for a long spell. FOUR! Ashwin collects his second boundary of the day, glancing at length ball from Anderson and guiding it behind square leg, to bring up the 350 for the hosts.

EDGED… and safe! Close shave for Ashwin early in his innings as he gets a deflection off the outer half of his blade that carries towards the slip cordon, but ultimately falls short of Crawley at second slip. Maiden for Anderson.

After 95 overs, India 346/7 (Dhruv Jurel 8, Ravichandran Ashwin 7)

Jurel steers a short-of-length ball from Wood behind square for a single. Ashwin follows suit a couple of deliveries later. SIX! Jurel decides to go for a ramp shot after Wood decides to fire a bouncer at 90 miles per hour! All Jurel needed was for the ball to connect with the bat. The pace on the delivery ensures the ball sails over the fence. Jurel attempts to set off for a quick single in the final delivery, but is sent back by Ashwin.

After 91 overs, India 331/7 (Dhruv Jurel 0, Ravichandran Ashwin 0)

OUT! Tame end to a superb knock from Jadeja as he ends up chipping the ball straight back to the bowler for a return catch while attempting a straight drive. Failed to keep it close to the ground, offering Root a catch at a comfortable height. Top start for the Englishmen today as they grab two wickets in as many overs. Ravichandran Ashwin joins Dhruv Jurel at the centre, both yet to get off the mark. Wicket maiden for Root.
