Stokes continues, and Gill carefully defends the first two deliveries towards cover before working one to backward point for a single. Jadeja sees out the rest of the over with solid defence. However, Stokes appears more focused on Jadeja's follow-through, once again voicing concerns to the umpires about his boot marks on the pitch.
Just one run comes off the over - after 90 overs, India are 331 for 5.
Woakes returns, and Gill dabs into the off side for a sharp single. Jadeja swings and misses at the next ball, then blocks the following delivery. He drops one into the off side, and Woakes, fielding in his follow-through, has a shy at the stumps at the non-striker's end - but misses. The overthrow results in three bonus runs for Jadeja. Gill safely defends the final two balls.
Four runs from the over - India now 335 for 5 after 91.
Stokes continues from the other end, and Jadeja responds with authority, slamming him for back-to-back boundaries. He defends the next ball to cover, with eight runs coming off the over.
After 92 overs, India are 343 for 5.
