They have taken drinks with England effectively at 111 for 3. Still anyone's game although the pitch looks to have got slightly better to bat on today

Looks like Root can't believe that came as pitched in line. He's still pointing to the screen and having a close look in the dressing room

In all fairness, I think it's indeed another controversial DRS decision.

Look at where it pitched- almost on the edge of leg. It turned after landing.

At best, it felt like umpire's call. Really surprised DRS overturned it.

"Not sure if it would be wise on England's part to Bazball their way to a 250 run lead, and lose their 10 wickets by the end of the day today. India would prefer it if they have chase it down on a day 4 pitch than chasing it on a day 5 pitch." The way things are going, Rishav, it might not be in their control

"Why isn't Kuldeep bowling? India need someone who can turn the ball both ways without pitch assistance." Presumably the fear he will leak runs, BeardGuy. But they might need him either way if these two get going

"If there is any hope for the Indians to win here, Crawley has to be despatched pretty soon," declares Roby Stephen. "With his ominous form and attitude, he can take the match away."

Mukesh Sinha: "YJB wont mind facing Siraj here..got to bring Kuldeep on." Rohit thinks a change is in order - but brings on Ravindra Jadeja instead
