And that is 24th Test fifty for Joe Root off 72 balls. Moeen Ali is also playing well and is batting on 21 off 41 balls

Leg before wicket and if Cook had taken review he would have survived. The ball was missing leg. Cook though departs for 21.

When Ashwin is destined to pick 50 wickets in this series These things bound to happen.Keep Calm and wait for @ashwinravi99 #IndvsEng

Would you believe this ! Third drop catch of the day at slips. This time Haseeb Hamid survives. My colleague feels the Indian slip cordon's mind is not at the right place, maybe worried about the 500, 1000 rupee notes that they have

The England skipper is living a charmed life folks. He was dropped at slips in the first over of the match off Mohammad Shami by Ajinkya Rahane and he went on to survive in the next over bowled by Umesh Yadav Cook was dropped at second slip by Indian skipper Virat Kohli

India (Playing XI): Murali Vijay, Gautam Gambhir, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami

England (Playing XI): Alastair Cook(c), Haseeb Hameed, Joe Root, Ben Duckett, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow(w), Chris Woakes, Zafar Ansari, Adil Rashid, Stuart Broad
