Tongue 6-0-42-0, as Jaiswal brings up another half-century against England. India 91 for 1 - and responding superbly to the early loss of KL Rahul.

The first hour belongs to India: 55 without loss, and not a chance offered to England. Gill looks supreme, Jadeja busy (and showing great interest in the patch outside the left-hander's off stump that he will be aiming for later in the game).

Only once before have India scored more in the first innings after being put in to bat: 610 for 3 against Bangladesh at Mirpur in May 2007.

Root tickles a nothing ball from Siraj down the leg side, Pant holds on, and England are in even deeper trouble at 84 for 4.

Now Stokes goes first ball, unable to get out of the way of Siraj's short one! England could be following on this afternoon.

Wrote this back in May: why it shouldn't be seen as a climbdown for Stokes to drop below Smith in the batting order dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

He's out anyway, but it's astonishing that the umpiring team couldn't sort that out. The clock on the big screen clearly reached 0 before Jaiswal asked for a review.

It was another mad day for England’s Test team. A triple-century stand between Harry Brook and Jamie Smith, but India are well on top with two days to go at Edgbaston dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…
