Commentary

- 120.50Chris Woakes to Ravindra Jadeja, Outside off, pushed towards cover.
- 120.40Chris Woakes to Ravindra Jadeja, A slight appeal for LBW but bat involved. Length ball, around off, coming in, Ravindra stays back to defend but the ball stays low and takes the inside edge onto the pad, deflecting towards square leg.
- 120.31Chris Woakes to Washington Sundar, Full, around middle and leg, coming in, Washington Sundar works it towards deep backward square leg for one.

- 119.60Liam Dawson to Ravindra Jadeja, A touch short, around middle and leg, nudged towards square leg.
- 119.54Liam Dawson to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! SLAP! Full, around leg stump, Jadeja charges out of the crease and slaps it back past the bowler, to the long on fence! The lead moves to 22 and the stand is worth 111. Boundary number 7 for Jadeja who is onto 62. Guess he wants that century before the handshake moment.
- 119.40Liam Dawson to Ravindra Jadeja, Around middle, defended this time.
- 119.34Liam Dawson to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Tea time is over, so now, it is tee time! Flighted, on middle and leg, Ravindra Jadeja jumps down the track and swings it over square leg for a boundary! There is no soul in the deep.

- END OF OVER 119 | 2 Runs & 0 Wkt | IND 324/4
- Just before Tea was called, Stokes and Dawson were discussing for around 5 minutes before heading off, regarding the landing of the ball on the rough areas. Last throw of the dice? Ben or Jofra? Neither. Liam Dawson to continue, with a change of ends. 39-10-70-0 so far.
- 118.60Chris Woakes to Ravindra Jadeja, Full and around off, RJ defends.
- 118.51lbChris Woakes to Washington Sundar, Down the leg side, Sundar looks to flick but misses. The ball goes off his thigh pads towards fine leg and a leg bye is taken.

- END OF OVER 118 | 1 Runs & 0 Wkt | IND 322/4
- The players slowly come out to the middle. England seem to have accepted their fate and are not that keen to take the field. India are not too perturbed, they would be happy to shake hands right now. 35 overs left in the game and a minimum of 20 need to be bowled, before the match can be called off as a draw. Chris Woakes to start things off post Tea. 19-4-57-2 so far. The keeper is upto the stumps.
- ... DAY 5, FINAL SESSION ...
- Heading into the final session of the last day, all eyes will be on how England respond. They still need just six wickets to bowl India out, but they’re running out of time and energy. The pitch is offering variable bounce and some turn, but the batters are well set, and the ball is losing its sting. For India, this has been an outstanding comeback, from a fragile position in the morning to now leading the match towards a draw. Another solid hour from here could push the game in that direction only. It’s all set up for a thrilling final session, which would start at 8.30 pm IST (3 pm GMT).
