Right, 152 needed on the final day. India eyeing a victory but they’ll hope that rain doesn’t play spoilsport. Joe Root’s century was the highlight of the day and helped England reach as far as they did with the bat. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah has roared back to form, a four-wicket haul in the first innings was followed by a five-for in the second essay. Encouraging signs for India as far as the series is concerned. The other pacers assisted Bumrah well. The day belonged to India.

23:26 (IST)
After 12 overs,India 35/1 ( Rohit Sharma 8 , Cheteshwar Pujara 0)
Robinson continues. And all of a sudden, the body language of Indian batters doesn’t look as confident. Huge appeal for caught behind by England off the first delivery against Rohit.

23:18 (IST)
After 11 overs,India 34/1 ( Rohit Sharma 7 , Cheteshwar Pujara 0)

23:16 (IST)
OUT! England draw first blood. Absolute peach of a delivery from Broad, he gets the ball to slightly nip away from Rahul and induces an outside edge. Buttler makes no mistake behind the stumps. Big wicket, considering Rahul's form. Rahul c Buttler b Broad 26(38)
23:11 (IST)

23:01 (IST)
After 8 overs,India 23/0 ( KL Rahul 18 , Rohit Sharma 4)

Another delivery of a similar sort, it climbs up to Rahul, hitting the batsman’s gloves. Three runs off the over.
22:57 (IST)
After 7 overs,India 20/0 ( KL Rahul 17 , Rohit Sharma 2)

22:54 (IST)
After 6 overs,India 19/0 ( KL Rahul 17 , Rohit Sharma 1)
Broad steaming in. There’s a lot more intent from Broad so far in this innings, he’s really running in hard and clocking good speeds. But just like the previous innings, Rahul is looking in good touch as well. Eight runs from the over, including two fours by Rahul.
22:52 (IST)
FOUR! Rahul showing his full range of shots here. He just presents the full face of the blade. Elegant straight drive!
22:51 (IST)
FOUR! Rahul plays it with soft hands, guiding the ball towards third man for a boundary.
22:48 (IST)
After 5 overs,England 6/0 ( Rory Burns 1 , Dominic Sibley 1)

22:44 (IST)
After 4 overs,India 11/0 ( KL Rahul 9 , Rohit Sharma 1)
Broad was a touch short in that over. He was a little bit legsidish as well with a couple of deliveries. Rohit got a leg bye while Rahul let the last three alone.
22:40 (IST)
Broad continues...
22:40 (IST)
After 3 overs,India 10/0 ( KL Rahul 9 , Rohit Sharma 1)
The first one tails away after landing, Rohit looks to defend but gets the outside half of the bat, it rolls along the ground to the slip cordon. Anderson then beats Rohit with a beauty which zips inches past the outside edge. Rohit then gets off the mark by tucking it to the leg side before Rahul drives an overpitched ball down the ground for his second boundary of the innings. Anderson corrects his length and bowls length outside off, Rahul defends it to the off side to finish the over. 5 runs off it.
22:38 (IST)
FOUR! Brilliant timing! Overpitched by Anderson, Rahul pushes it through mid off, it runs away to the fence.
22:35 (IST)
After 2 overs,India 5/0 ( KL Rahul 5 , Rohit Sharma 0)
Good contest in that over. The first ball takes off after landing outside off, beats Rahul's tentative defense. Rahul then drives one through covers for a boundary before defending one to the leg side solidly. There is another back of a length delivery which takes off after landing, Rahul leaves it alone. And then another one takes off after landing outside off, a bit closer to Rahul's body but he does well to leave it alone at the last moment. The final one is a good length delivery which shapes away, it's a touch wide, Rahul doesn't fiddle with it. 4 runs off the over.
22:32 (IST)
FOUR! First of the innings. Full from Broad, Rahul comes forward and drives it through covers.
22:31 (IST)
Broad will share the new ball...He's got back his headband on as well....
22:30 (IST)
After 1 overs,India 1/0 ( KL Rahul 1 , Rohit Sharma 0)
A beautiful first over from Anderson. Concentrated on bowling the ouwswinger for the first four balls. Rahul defends the first one to the off side but then leaves the next alone close to the body. The next to nip away after landing and beats Rahul's outside edges. Anderson then brings one back in and Rahul defends it solidly. He then finally gets off the mark by flicking the last ball to fine leg for a single.Â
22:24 (IST)
The Indian openers - Rohit and Rahul - are out in the middle. Anderson will start off proceedings. There is a little bit of cloud cover...
22:17 (IST)
We are in for a cracker of a match. Root's century led England's fightback after India had taken a 95-run lead. Bumrah's five-for restricted England to 303. He was brilliant throughout the day and especially with the new ball and that's when the game turned around with the wicket off Root off the first over with the new ball. India have a challenging last hour or so to negotiate. England will come out all guns blazing in these last few overs.
22:15 (IST)
OUT! England 303 all out! India need 209 to win! Robinson goes for the swing outside off but gets an outside edge to this man where the fielder accepts an easy catch.
22:09 (IST)
FIVE WIDES! Not what India want. Shami misses his line completely goes for the bouncer but way outside the leg stump, it files over the batsman and wide of the keeper.Â
22:08 (IST)
Shami continues... Robinson will look to go for everything here.
22:07 (IST)
After 85 overs,England 296/9 ( Ollie Robinson 13 , James Anderson 0)
What a brilliant over from Bumrah. Gets two wickets in the over. After defending the first one solidly, Curran looks to go over the off side but get the bottom of the bat and it flies over covers for a couple. He then looks to turn one to the leg side but gets a leading edge to the off side, wants a single but sent back. Bumrah then gets Curran with a clever back of a length delivery. He then beats Broad's defense with a brilliant inswinging yorker. Anderson walks out to bat and Siraj gets into his ears, Anderson and Kohli then share some words. Anderson averts the hat-trick by defending the full ball. It's a no ball as there were three fielders behind square. Bumrah beats Anderson's outside edge with a beauty to end the over.
22:04 (IST)
OUT! What a delivery! That yorker. It swings in after starting from outside off, beats Broad's defense. It hits his pads and crashes onto the stumps. Bumrah on a hat-tricl now..
21:59 (IST)
OUT! Clever from Bumrah! Curran sets up for a big one but Bumrah bowls it a tad short and into his body. Curran is cramped for room as he plays a half hearted heave. Miscues straight into the hands of Siraj at mid on.
21:56 (IST)
After 84 overs,England 293/7 ( Sam Curran 30 , Ollie Robinson 13)
England looking to attack now! Robinson looks to cut a slightly short of a good length delivery but misses off the first ball. He then guides one through gully for three. Curran, then surprisingly, shuffles way across and goes for a scoop, it hits him high on the bat and loops to fine leg safely for a single. Robinson then smashes one through point for four. Shami follows up with a bouncer which Robinson looks to upper cut but misses. Another play and miss follows as one straightens from outside off and beats Robinson's poke. 8 runs off the over.

DROPPED! Curran survives as Rahane drops a tough one at gully. Curran guides a back of a length delivery wide of gully, Rahane dives to his right, gets a hand to it but doesn't manage to hold on. After a confident block, Bumrah beats Curran's outside edge with one that zips away. Curran then punches one to deep point for a couple before getting dropped at gully. Bumrah then squares up Curran with a beauty with flies past his outside edge. Curran defends the final delivery solidly to the off side. 4 runs off the over.
21:48 (IST)
Bumrah continues....
21:48 (IST)
After 82 overs,England 281/7 ( Sam Curran 25 , Ollie Robinson 6)
India looking to go short to Curran. Shami bowls three bouncers, two of them sharp ones and Curran handles them well leaving them. Shami then bowls a length delivery, Curran pushes it to extra cover for a single. Robinson then gets off the mark guiding a back of a length delivery wide of gully for a couple. Shami then errs in line and drifts on the pads, Robinson clips it wide of fine leg for a four. 7 runs off the over.
21:47 (IST)
FOUR! Poor delivery! On the pads from Shami, Robinson flicks it wide of fine leg.
21:44 (IST)
Shami will share the 2nd new ball...
21:42 (IST)
After 81 overs,England 274/7 ( Sam Curran 24 , )
A successful over for India. Bumrah got some seam movement in that over. Both Root and Curran took a single each with a push to the off side. While there was no swing, Bumrah got one to jag away sharply off the final delivery, Root pushed at it and edged it to the keeper. Two runs and a wicket off it. A wicket at a crucial juncture for India...
21:41 (IST)
OUT! The new ball does the trick. HUGE WICKET! Root pushes at an outswinger and gets an outside edge to the keeper. A brilliant innings comes to an end.Â
21:36 (IST)
India have taken the second new ball!
21:36 (IST)
After 80 overs,England 272/6 ( Joe Root (C) 108 , Sam Curran 23)
There is a MASSIVE appeal for an LBW off the first ball. It's a good length delivery, jagging back in. Beats Root's front foot defense. The umpire turns it down. India don't have a review left. Replays show it was going over. Kohli also appealed for a catch but the umpire wasn't interested. Root then punches one to deep point for a single and Curran too pushes one to that area for a single. Root defends one back before driving one to deep point again for a single. Curran ducks under the bouncer to finish the over. 3 runs off it.
21:31 (IST)
Siraj continues...
21:31 (IST)
After 79 overs,England 269/6 ( Joe Root (C) 106 , Sam Curran 22)
Risky run first up. Root pushes it towards extra cover and sets off for a single. There is slight hesitation as Rohit dives to stop the ball but then they decide to complete the single. And manage to complete it safely as the throw comes in. Curran takes a single to long on and then Root tucks it to the leg side to make it three runs off the over.Â
21:28 (IST)
Jadeja continues....
21:28 (IST)
After 78 overs,England 266/6 ( Joe Root (C) 104 , Sam Curran 21)
Siraj comes from around the wicket to Curran and concentrates on angling it into him. The left-hand batsman is assured in his defence and hits a couple off the middle but straight to the fielder. There is a bouncer as well which Curran leaves alone before tapping one to the off side for a single. Root too pushes one to covers and takes a single to end the over.

Day 3 report:Â England bowled out India for 278 and reduced its lead to 70 by another premature stumps on day three of the first test at Trent Bridge on Friday.
Opener KL Rahul ensured India passed England’s first innings total of 183 before he was out for 84, then Ravindra Jadeja's 56 and Jasprit Bumrah's 28-run cameo set up a lead of 95.
In the process, James Anderson took two more wickets to eclipse retired India great Anil Kumble as the third highest wicket-taker in test history on 621. Ollie Robinson added a maiden 5-for.
Rory Burns, 11 not out, and Dom Sibley, 9 not out, navigated 11.1 overs to lead England to 25 without loss until rain ended play early for a second straight day.
England was on something of a roll when rain stalled its progress on Thursday, and it had to endure a false start in the morning session on Friday, managing just 11 deliveries before being forced off by showers.
Almost an hour later play resumed, and a gentler shower was allowed to pass through, although that decision was not to everyone’s liking. Rahul seemed keen to take shelter, running towards the pavilion, only to be sent back to the crease by umpire Michael Gough — with a word from Anderson in his ear.
It was not the first or the last sign of verbal niggles between the sides, while Anderson and Robinson were both involved in brushes with batsmen that were closer than is usually comfortable in cricketing circles. Neither incident, with Rahul and Mohammed Siraj, was anything to worry about but with four tests still to go there is already scope for things to heat up.
England’s only wicket of the morning came when a typically frenetic Rishabh Pant stay ended in a working over by Robinson. In the space of a single over Pant sprayed just wide of gully and top-edged a six straight over the wicketkeeper’s head before springing a carefully laid trap by picking out Jonny Bairstow at short cover.
Had Dan Lawrence managed to run out Jadeja when he was fresh to the crease, England might even have fancied itself to wrap things up in a hurry. Instead, his throw missed the target, India was eight runs ahead by lunch and Jadeja went on to score a crucial 56.
The pace picked up dramatically in the afternoon, with India adding another 97 for the loss of its last five wickets.
Joe Root put Rahul down on 78 in the first over of the session, Anderson frustrated again as he had been when the opener was on 52 a day earlier. It was third time lucky soon after, though, with a constrictive line and length yielding yet an edge into Jos Buttler’s gloves.
Shardul Thakur represented easy pickings for Anderson’s fourth wicket of the innings, a dismissal which persuaded Jadeja to hit the accelerator. He signalled his intent by flicking Anderson for six over fine leg and was soon celebrating his half-century with a cut for four.
He could not keep it up, though, a wild heave off Robinson spiralling to Stuart Broad at mid off. The seamer pressed a finger to his lips as a parting message to Jadeja, offering further evidence of simmering tension in the middle.
At eight down, India was 49 ahead and would have been delighted to almost double that with its last two wickets.
The tail flailed their bats with abandon, going aerial almost every time, and mustered four fours and a six to crank up the pressure on England’s imminent second innings.
Robinson eventually ended things with the second new ball, cleaning up Mohammed Shami and benefiting from one wild shot too many from a playful Bumrah.
Robinson, back from a suspension for racist and sexist tweets more than seven years ago, grabbed four of the last six wickets.
It was not enough to stop India establishing a potentially decisive lead of 95, but its total of 278 would have been a great deal higher without his persistent interrogation of the touring batsmen for 5-85.
Anderson claimed 4-54.
Burns and Sibley blocked out six overs before tea and another 5.1 after before dark skies and more rain robbed the match of more valuable time.
