Eng 2nd inns: 291-9 (69 ovs); Target: 399 | Scorecard

Bumrah gets the ball to reverse sharply into Bashir, who is struck on the pads. The umpire turns down the appeal and India, who have just one review, decide against the review.

The slower ball goes horribly wrong for Bumrah as it pitches way outside and the pacer has also overstepped to concede a no-ball and an extra run.

10 minutes left for lunch as Mukesh continues. He gets his first wicket of the match as Bashir is caught behind for a duck.

That ball moved away this time as Bashir pushes his bat at it and gets the edge to be caught behind.

Mukesh is delighted. He had gone through lot so far in this game and now gets some reward for a fine spell with the old ball.

India just one wicket away from levelling the series!

Left-hander James Anderson pokes away from his body and is beaten and the same next ball.

He drives the last ball straight down the ground past long-on for a four to get off the mark.

Ashwin back from the other end. Hartley takes a single off the first ball before Anderson tries the reverse sweep but can't beat point.

Some flight from Ashwin on the line of stumps as Anderson defends watchfully. 

He gets a glove trying to reverse sweep as the ball goes over Rohit at slip for a single. Hartley cuts the last ball in the gap past point for a boundary as the field is called up to stop the single.
