STUMPS! A day to forget if you are an Indian fan. Jos Buttler batted with the tail to power England's score to 332 before they were bowled out. The visitors kept losing regular wickets in their innings, with Virat Kohli, yet again, doing the scoring. India 174/6, trail by 158 runs.
22:53 (IST)
OUT! Pant plays across the line, a hint of movement away results in the ball finding the outside edge of the bat and Alastair Cook takes a comfortable catch at first slip. Stokes has his second wicket in the innings. India 164/6 after 49 overs.
22:42 (IST)
OUT! Ben Stokes makes Virat Kohli chase at a delivery well outside the off stump. The Indian captain only manages to edge the ball to second slip, where England captain Joe Root gleelfully acceptes the catch. India in big trouble. Kohli c Root b Stokes 49(70)

22:41 (IST)
Two boundaries of Curran's next over. A flick off the pads on the first ball and an elegant straight drive down the ground on the final delivery. Between those two scoring shots, the left--arm pacer passed the outside edge twice. India 154/4 after 46 overs.
22:35 (IST)
The first boundary of his international career is a six for Hanuma Vihari, and then a four follows. Ben Stokes is not amused. Vihari attempts to hook, which takes the edge and flies for a six. He top edges again, and this time, the ball falls short of the fine-leg fielder Adil Rashid. To add insult, the ball trickles away for four.
22:31 (IST)
Sam Curran replaces Stuart Broad. Virat Kohli guides the first ball to third-man for a couple. Two boundaries follow - one is stunningly flicked towards midwicket and the next is driven towards cover. 14 runs off that over.
22:24 (IST)
While Anderson is done, Broad continues his spell. Virat Kohli produces a sensational pull shot off the first ball of the 41st over. A leg-bye and four dots follow. After a nervy start, Vihari seems to be much more confident in his defence. 
22:18 (IST)
22:17 (IST)
The ground staff are on the move. The light has faded considerably and there seems to be rain around. Ben Stokes has replaced James Anderson. Fair to say, both batsmen will be happy to see Anderson has completed his spell.
22:14 (IST)
Broad is in the midst of a potent spell here. A leg-gully is kept for both the batsmen, and the ball has already headed in the fielder's direction a couple of times. Kohli nearly fell in the trap with a flick, but the ball was beyond the reach of that fielder. India 112/4 after 40 overs, still trailing by 220 runs.
22:07 (IST)
22:04 (IST)
The sun is shining on Hanuma Vihari today. First, he survives a close call, with the umpire turning down an appeal which eventually was out. The second appeal was given by Joel Wilson, Vihari reviews and the ball is missing the stumps. What an introduction to international cricket!
21:58 (IST)
It is baptism by fire for Hanuma Vihari. Stuart Broad and James Anderson are bowling exceptionally well. The debutant was struck on the pads by Broad, umpire Joel Wilson turns the shout down. But the replay shows that the review would have gone in England's favour had they gone for it.
21:49 (IST)
21:44 (IST)
OUT! Make that 107 wickets against India for James Anderson. Ajinkya Rahane plays for the incoming delivery but the ball moves away at the final moment. Alastair Cook at first slip takes the catch. India in trouble here as debutant Hanuma Vihari walks in.
21:44 (IST)
STAT ATTACK | James Anderson has now most wickets against India - 106 at an average of 26.17. He is just three wickets short of surpassing Glen McGrath's record of 563.
21:33 (IST)
OUT! Anderson finds the outside edge of Pujara's bat and Bairstow does the rest. India's No.3 was troubled by the seamers as they kept mixing up their deliveries. Pujara c Bairstow b Anderson 37(101)
21:31 (IST)
Away, away and in - that seems to be Stuart Broad's setlist for Pujara. He is trying to find the gap between bat and pad like he did at Lord's, where Pujara lost his off-stump to a sharp in-swinger.
21:24 (IST)
Seamers at both ends now. Stuart Broad is bowling from the other end and he produces a maiden over. Anderson's previous over showed some signs of reverse swing, which is why Root has decided to go back to his other senior pacer. Broad has been effective with the old ball in this series, with multiple batsmen falling to his late in-swingers.
21:16 (IST)
CLOSE! James Anderson is back into the attack, and he traps Virat Kohli with his second delivery. England take the review and Joe Root looks confident. But the review shows that the impact is 'Umpire's Call' and Kumar Dharmasena's decision stands. Lucky break for the Indain skipper, who then smashes the next ball to the square leg boundary.
21:12 (IST)
FOUR! Only when the ball is around the rough, Kohli is struggling to combat that. He smashed a short ball at the start of the over towards the midwicket boundary. At the other end, Pujara is using his feet well in this innings, drives the ball down the ground past the bowler for the second boundary of the over.
21:08 (IST)
Curran is pushing the ball across to Kohli, even managing to shape the ball away. However, the Indian captain remains positive, produces a glorious drive when the ball was full at the end of the over. India 84/2 after 27 overs, trail by 248 runs.
21:04 (IST)
Moeen Ali is keeping it simple at the other end. He continues to aim his deliveries at the rough. It will be interesting to see how Kohli approaches the off-spinner. He was dismissed in the second innings
