46.6
Woakes to Ishant, out Caught by Ollie Pope!! Glanced off the bat-face straight to leg slip. Anderson remains on nine wickets for the game, don't think he'd mind too much. Pretty good catch actually, the ball flew to Pope's right and the debutant was quick on his feet. Anyway, India are done here. 170.3 overs, that's all this Test has taken. Ishant c Ollie Pope b Woakes 2(7)
46.5
Woakes to Ishant, no run, plays it very late, dabs the ball right under the eyes to third slip
46.4
Woakes to Ashwin, 1 run, full ball on middle, turned through midwicket, takes the single
46.3
Woakes to Ashwin, 2 runs, oh dear, Ashwin not taking it easy at all. He throws himself into the crease while completing the second, helmet flying off his head. He was desperate to retain strike after dabbing this through backward point. Great commitment
46.2
Woakes to Ashwin, no run, darts up from a length, pops up off Ashwin's glove but doesn't carry to third slip. Another blow to the fingers for India's off-spinner who gets visited by the physio again. India getting scarred in more than one way. They'll take drinks too
46.1
Woakes to Ashwin, no run, wide on the crease, slants it in on middle. Ashwin turns it to deep midwicket. Spread field from England
44.6
Woakes to Ashwin, FOUR, back of a length outside off, Ashwin opens the bat-face and runs it away past the slip cordon. Well controlled steer, played with soft hands

44.3
Woakes to Ashwin, no run, length ball just outside off, blunted to cover

42.1
Woakes to Hardik Pandya, out Lbw!! Looked very out to the naked eye. Height was the only thing in question, but HawkEye showed the ball smashing into the top of leg stump and the decision had to be overturned by umpire Aleem Dar for the first time in the match. Good length delivery from Woakes, Pandya leans forward to defend, may have just nipped back in, but it looked like just came in with the angle, hit in line with middle and leg and just above the kneeroll, which made the umpire think if it was too high. But it wasn't! Hardik Pandya lbw b Woakes 26(43) [4s-5]
19.6
Woakes to Kohli, no run, this is very bad news for India. Not just for this match but the rest of the series. After defending that full delivery, Kohli felt his back and the pain must be shooting through. Tries his best to grit his teeth and not show it
19.5
Woakes to Kohli, no run, well wide of off, a sighter for Kohli who shoulders arms

Woakes to Rahane, no run, wide of the crease and Rahane can see it from the hand that time, well outside off, easy leave
15.5

15.4
Woakes to Rahane, FOUR, went for the inswinger and angled it on the pads, flicked effortlessly to the fine leg fence. Got that wrong did Woakes

Woakes to Rahane, no run, keeps low but the line is outside off, so Rahane can keep it out, which he does
15.2
Woakes to Pujara, 1 run, angled in on a good length, on the middle and leg, tucked wide of square leg and again hesitation in the running, Rahane wanted two but Pujara sent him back and in time as well. Good call too for the throw to Bairstow was right over the stumps

13.4
Woakes to Rahane, no run, wide of the crease and the edge is found but lands short of Cook at first slip. Rahane lucky and gets away.

13.3
Woakes to Rahane, no run, short of length and no movement, Rahane defends off the back foot to cover
13.2
Woakes to Rahane, no run, and now Woakes comes back with a beauty. Genuine late outswing, pitching short of a driving length, but luring Rahane into the shot, moves past the bat. Dream dream delivery but doesn't get the nick
13.1
Woakes to Rahane, FOUR, wide swinging overpitched delivery outside off, Rahane creams the drive through cover. Sits on his back knee and drove it flat-batted into the gap. That is a good shot

9.6
Woakes to Rahane, no run, big outswinger, but it has pitched well outside off, easy leave
9.5
Woakes to Rahane, no run, clear inside edge onto the pad and the loud appeal for lbw is turned down. Rahane didn't get forward there, stuck on the crease and only the thin edge saved him
9.4
Woakes to Rahane, no run, the front foot moved a bit too early and across, would've been in trouble had that jagged sharply off the seam, it doesn't and he defends on off

7.1
Woakes to Pujara, no run, look at that first ball from Woakes. Right on the money and the perfect outswinger, Pujara pushes out and even though he wants to pull the bat away, the ball has beaten the bat. Lovely start
