The Broad wicket looks poor from the umpire, seemed to going well down leg. The indian TV company didn't show hawkeye which is telling for me.

All out 200 behind but India not forcing the follow on.

We now  need to get 2-3 quick wickets to make them regret that.

We got those two wickets. We need Broad to go on one of his runs here.

As an aside, and I hope he proves me wrong, but again I'm thinking what is exactly that Ansari brings to the side? His spin bowling, which I think they've selected him, for looks no better than Root's and his batting doesn't appear up to it. He needs to improve an awful lot to be a Test player.

Anderson gets Pujara.

I really think I'd go with a 4 seamer 2 spinner split in the next game.

Woakes for Ansari will be the obvious change. I'd give Duckett another chance and if he fails again would prefer to see Buttler rather than Ballance replace him.

I think Duckett is a real talent with a clear technical flaw. I'm confident he'll be a quality Test player, he just needs to use this series as a way to learn his game.

Blow to lose Cook there.

Such a shame to lose Cook there, as that changes everything. Great resolve shown, but India are massive favourites now.

Pretty poor today. I think Duckett's mind has gone and he shouldn't play the next game. I think he'll have a very good Test career, but I'm not sure playing him is doing him any good at the moment. Ansari will also go as well, as he's not really making any sort of positive contribution.

Series already gone by lunch.

Idiotic from Cook and Root in particular.

Looks like Stokes and Bairstow are shoring the innings up.

Add Moeen to that list too.
