Yes Stokesy! You wonder why Rashid, Moeen and flipping Jennings bowled before him? Was he off the pitch for a while or something?

Losing your 4th wicket with 160 on the board must be a nice feeling.

James Hildreth currently 57* for Somerset after a solid 81 in the first innings...

I see Surrey have wrapped up our second innings-plus victory over Notts in the past 6 weeks

Notts are really struggling of late after starting the season well.

Somerset will probably look to get a lead of around 350 before putting Yorkshire in tonight, they have to go for it especially with a 220 run lead already with Hildreth and Abell both set.

Virdi bowled three overs in the whole game and he's the frontline spinner

Vince is currently batting with 20* for Hampshire who are 94/6 in response to 435 from Essex. It's like a perfect template for what he'd have to do if he gets recalled to the England side, although in that scenario he'd be one of the batsmen back in the hutch

Easy - just bat him at 8!

How many balls till Pant scores a run?

Pujara crucial now. Kohli didn’t need to play that shot. As lefty said Kohli played too many balls which could have easily been left.

What an idiot

Why the prat smiling when he walking off. Spend almost 30 balls without doing anything.

Hildreth out for 72 off the bowling of Adam Lyth ffs

Still, 153 runs for the match ain't bad

0 from 29 balls and he's meant to be a dasher

Scenes

That was a very strange innings.

India making a right mess of this innings. All out for 280

That was excruciating from Pant

5 down, long tail. Could be a closer match than we thought.

Pandya will probably be told to go out there and get India close to our target and Ashwin has done okay with the bat in this series. Anything under 280 leaving a lead of around 30 or less would be a huge boost for England although in reply we'll get back to level with 3-4 wickets down.

We have dominated this game and still find ourselves level with England. Kohli played a loose shot and now Pant played a rather odd innings without scoring.

Anything under 300 will be very poor from India.

Kav this is a good template of how to lose a match willing fully. Having had england for 86-6 then letting the tail get to 250 is the first error and then today.

Getting outfoxed by Moeen Ali for faack sake

And another one. Pandya is has been pretty useless this test

You might end up with a deficit at this rate, England fought back well with the bat in the second half of their innings and are now fighting back with the ball. Looked like you would be way ahead before that Kohli/Pujara partnership was broken.
