Broad to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, this is nicely handled, covered for the late inswing and then flicked, albeit uppishly, luckily no one at mid-wicket and it runs away for four. Credit to Pandya for moving his front leg away to adjust for the late swing. First fifty partnership of the game for India

38.4
Broad to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, his driving down the ground has been brilliant this innings. Broad tempted him with wide ones, but he left them alone, forced the bowler to bowl at him and that's art of batting against swing/quality bowling. Force the bowler to alter his plans by being patient. Full face of the bat on the on-drive and it rockets to the mid-on fence

Broad to Hardik Pandya, no run, oh this one hits Pandya on the back thigh, no protection there and he's in pain. Runs away from the pitch before he composes himself. The big inswinger, nipped back in as well, Pandya had no clue, missed the line and got hit

Broad to Hardik Pandya, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Pandya thought about playing at it and then lets it go

32.5
Broad to Hardik Pandya, no run, extra bounce with inswing on this short of length delivery, Pandya defends and it smashes into his right glove. He's in pain and it's his bowling hand, immediately drops his bat. He's taken the glove off and looks like it's swollen. The physio tends to him
32.4
Broad to Hardik Pandya, no run, well played, gets a stride forward, covers the stumps and lets this short of length delivery pass to Bairstow
32.3
Broad to Hardik Pandya, no run, inswinger now, Pandya covers the line and defends off the front foot

Broad to Hardik Pandya, no run, outside off stump, ignored
32.1
Broad to Hardik Pandya, no run, Broad begins with a scrambled seam delivery outside off stump, Pandya plays inside the line and lets it go
30.6
Broad to Ashwin, no run, inside edge onto pad? The ball dies in front of the diving Pope. Fullish and tailing in, Ashwin fails to nudge properly, may have been an edge onto pad there
30.5
Broad to Ashwin, byes, FOUR, another big inswinger, but this hat-trick ball ends down the leg-side and misses everyone
30.4
Broad to Karthik, out Lbw!! Oh brilliant inswinger, too good for Karthik and he's bagged a golden duck. Broad is now on a hat-trick! Fullish in length and Karthik is lunging forward in his defence, is completely outdone by the amount of inswing on this ball and as soon as it hit the pad, Broad was out with a running appeal and up went umpire Aleem Dar's finger. Impact was marginally in line with off stump, definitely hitting the sticks and HawkEye says umpire's call for impact. Three balls and we have had three reviews. Oh Stuart Broad, please consider bowling seam up more because you get sharp, late inswing that batsman can't handle. Karthik lbw b Broad 0(1)
30.3
Broad to Kohli, out Caught by Ollie Pope!! What a top decision for Aleem Dar. He's been good in this match. India have lost their captain and the innings defeat looms large. Shortish from Broad, hits the pitch hard and gets it to rise on the batsman, Kohli fends, doesn't feel the brush on the left glove, England have Pope under the lid at short leg and he dives forward to take the ricochet off the thigh pad. Kohli reviewed that with a smile as he didn't realise it's actually touched the glove. Kohli c Ollie Pope b Broad 17(29) [4s-2]
30.2
Broad to Kohli, no run, shortish delivery down the leg-side, Kohli hops and tries to fend, misses, the ball hits the hip and flies to Bairstow, who dives and takes the catch. Not given out, DRS taken, UltraEdge was flat and the decision couldn't be reversed
30.1
Broad to Kohli, 2 runs, short of length delivery outside off stump, Kohli dabs it to backward point, Root fumbles and allows the second run. That back is hurting Kohli, he grimaces in pain
28.6

Broad to Kohli, 1 run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Kohli taps it to point
28.1
Broad to Kohli, no run, "Howwzaaatt," shouts Broad after smashing Kohli's thigh pad, not given, was it high is the question! Root looks at Bairstow and then goes back to his fielding position. HawkEye confirms that the ball was easily going over the stumps. Broad beat Kohli's defence with an incoming good length delivery there
26.6
Broad to Hardik Pandya, no run, another inswinger on a fuller length, Pandya leans forward and defends, gets an edge onto pad
26.5
Broad to Pujara, out Bowled!! This is a brilliant ball and it's got to be a good nut to go through Pujara's gate with the way he was batting. Was always wondering why Broad's bowling scrambled seam when there's swing out there. Took a long time in the first innings too - maybe 8-9 overs - to try for swing. He bowls the cutters usually but this time he bowls a lovely inswinger with the seam up pointing towards fine leg and Pujara didn't expect that. He was totally surprised by th movement in the air, overadjusted and played inside the line, the ball takes the pad and knocks out the off stump. If it was a plan to set him with up scrambled seam balls for a long time and then cleverly slip in the inswinger, great thought then! Pujara b Broad 17(87) [4s-1]
26.4
Broad to Pujara, no run, short of length nips back in, Pujara defends to short leg

Broad to Pujara, no run, a loud call of "noooo" from Pujara as he gets nicely behind the line of this full ball to defend to mid-on
24.6
Broad to Pujara, no run, defended from the crease, brilliant over from Broad, he's running in hard and has a spring in his stride
24.5
Broad to Pujara, no run, big shout for caught behind, shake of the head from umpire Aleem Dar. Top call, the ball just brushed the thigh pad en route to Bairstow. Short of a length delivery darting back in off the seam, Pujara was looking to defend, the ball sneaked through the gate
24.4
Broad to Pujara, no run, oh that's an effort ball and it's smashed into Pujara's glove. Length ball, hits the seam and kicks up, surprises Pujara, but he handled it pretty well, ensures the ball doesn't pop up after hitting the glove by playing with soft hands
24.3
Broad to Pujara, no run, hands on head for Broad, the half appeal was for LBW and then Broad was looking towards the cordon if the ball carried. He cuts this fullish ball back into the right-hander, Pujara gets an inside edge on the defence, doesn't carry to hand
24.2
Broad to Pujara, no run, short and just outside off stump, Pujara stands tall and defends off the back foot
24.1
Broad to Pujara, no run, full outside off, Pujara had the bat face open as he tried to guide it, went off the face and dropped in front of third slip. Could've left that alone
22.6
Broad to Kohli, no run, unplayable. Totally. Broad is so surprised that he half-sits, hands to his mouth, what a ball. Leg-cutter from hell. Angles in on off and then moves like a leg-break. Kohli covered the original line but the movement was too much even for him
22.5
Broad to Kohli, no run, digs it in short, outside off, Kohli sways away and lets it go. Bairstow takes it well over his head
22.4
Broad to Kohli, no run, short of length immediately, on off, Kohli defends

22.2
Broad to Kohli, no run, good ball. Went short and pushed Kohli back, one hand off the bat handle comes off, awkwardly fended away, doesn't pop to Pope under the helmet
22.1
Broad to Kohli, no run, long stride forward and the ball nips in just a bit, perhaps an inside edge onto the chest, the ball rolls towards backward point, no chance of a quick single
20.6
Broad to Pujara, no run, short of length on off, turned to Pope there at a deepish short leg
20.5
Broad to Pujara, no run, now this comes back in from a similar length, good leave as it wasn't hitting off
20.4
Broad to Pujara, no run, beaten by low bounce and the ball straightening after pitching on a fullish length, this will happen as Broad's natural angle is into the right-handers. Natural variation allows it not to come back in. Pujara accepts that and gets on with it
20.3

20.2

18.6
Broad to Rahane, out Caught by Jennings!! Sharp catch and Rahane closes his eyes as he yanks his head back before walking off. The rain has started to fall as well. Poor shot. The previous delivery played a huge part in this. Broad throws it full and wide, entices Rahane into the drive who obliges and despite Buttler diving to his right at second slip, Jennings keeps his nerve to hang on. Just when India were looking to build a stand, Broad strikes. Rahane c Jennings b Broad 13(33) [4s-2]
18.5
Broad to Rahane, no run, beautiful leg-cutter and what a ball that is. Angled in and then leaves late, around off, lifting as well, no chance for Rahane as he pokes and misses. That is exceptional bowling
18.4
Broad to Rahane, no run, ooh! That has kept very low and bounced before reaching Bairstow. Danger signs for India. It was outside off so Rahane could get away
