Eng 260-9 (66 Ovs) & 407 vs India 587 & 427 decl | Scorecard

Akash Deep returns to the attack. Carse shoulders arms to the first delivery, then blocks the next. He tucks one in front of square but they opt not to run. Carse ducks under a well-directed bouncer, but the real drama follows - he mistimes a pull and skies it, but Siraj, tracking back at midwicket, misjudges it and puts it down! Carse survives and picks up three. Bashir then announces himself with a statement shot - launching a huge six down the ground! Seven runs come off the over - after 65 overs, England are 257 for 9.

Jadeja continues. Carse defends the first ball and then tucks one out to wide long-on for a single. Bashir walks into a cauldron - five close-in fielders surround him. India go up for a catch as the ball pops up off pad, and it's given out! Bashir reviews immediately. Replays confirm it came straight off the pad - Ultra-Edge shows no contact with the bat. He survives. Jadeja thuds the pads again as Bashir stays back to fend, then picks up a couple with a push into the leg side. A dot ends the over. Three runs from it - after 66 overs, England are 260 for 9.

England still need 348 runs. India are just one wicket away from a historic victory. Like the Gabba, where Australia's fortress was breached, Edgbaston too looks ready to fall.
