25th over: England 74-3 (Stokes 24, Bairstow 28) After nearly 15 minutes without a run, England milk a couple from Axar who licks his lips as he walks backwards to the beginning of his delivery stride. They survive without mishap and that’s lunch! Quite the recovery from 30-3, though not without the odd intake of breath. Time for me to put the kettle on - see you back here shortly.
“It is rather chilly in the conservatoire,” writes Amitabh Mukherjee from Bexley. “I got my Cafe au lait and lara(my cat) curled up while I’m working on a tune(musician, yes) with the match on simultaneously. Gotta say, even though its 3 down(couple of wickets that could have been avoided) I think this is the best pitch Root and the lads could have hoped for, need a daddy ton from Stokesy and bairstow(looking better each ball) to make this last 4 days atleast. Not say a Kohli triple is pending too. See ya in

24th over: England 72-3 (Stokes 23, Bairstow 27) A moral victory to Ashwin, Stokes ignores one that nearly bowls him and is suckered into having a thrash at the last which turns past his outside edge.
