***INDIA Vs ENGLAND CRICKET SERIES 2016-17 ENG TOUR OF INDIA***

12.4

Jadeja to Cook, OUT, edged and taken again. Another good catch from Kohli at slip. Jadeja takes out England's captain yet again. So much doubt was created with his previous over, some turned, some didn't. Jadeja pushes this one wider outside off, Cook gets forward and plays for more turn that there actually is. Gets a thick outside edge which carries low to Kohli's left. A two-handed grab sends Cook back again. A horror tour for Cook against Jadeja. Beaten by more than just this delivery.

Jadeja to Ali, 2 runs, dropped! Mis-timed his jump. Should have been taken. Tossed up on middle and leg, Moeen flicks in the air, wanted that uppish but didn't get enough on his loft. Carries high to midwicket's left. Rahul jumps but a bit late, he is still on his way up by the time the ball gets to him. Bursts through his hands

Jadeja to Root, OUT, big appeal from Jadeja. Kohli thinks and thinks and reviews. So much doubt in the review decision. Flat and wide from Jadeja, Root gets low and sweeps. Is there bat on ball? Or bat on ground? One very discernible spike on UltraEdge. Looked like the spike was at a time when the bat was in the air, which is why the third umpire has changed the decision. The difference in time between the bat hitting the ground and the ball passing the bat was so less that there could have been a slight time lag. Or it was just bat on ground and then bat on ball. But there was just one spike on Ultra Edge. So it was either bat on ground or on ball. Root is not happy at all. There was bat on ground too. A successful review from India. That's interesting. It was also so thin that Root may not have felt the edge.

Jadeja to Bairstow, OUT, uh oh. Chips his wicket away. Bairstow falls for 49. Fale shot, loose shot. Tosses it up outside off, an innocuous half-volley outside off. Bairstow sees a run-scoring opportunity because it is so full. Drives hard but is through the stroke a tad early, the ball carries at hip height to Rahul at a shortish straight cover, who is more than delighted that he has held on. A great time for India to strike. They can easily neutralise the day in the next nine overs.

Mishra to Ali, 1 run, knocks one into the off side, towards point and gets to his fifth Test ton. Superb innings from Moeen. Takes off his helmet and soaks in the applause. Real quality from the man after lunch.

Ashwin to Stokes, OUT, got 'im! The method was clear. He wanted the left-handers reaching forward. He knows there is turn in this pitch. All he had to do was slow it up to make Stokes reaches out thrusting at the ball Then the dip does him. Forward defence, but the batsman had no hope of reaching the pitch of the ball, and a faint edge goes through to the keeper. Nice catch from Parthiv too.

Sharma to Buttler, OUT, he's missed a straight ball! That looked so plumb that the non-striker says don't you dare review. Ishant goes full. Buttler should have been forward. Considering he wasn't, he shouldn't have played across the line towards midwicket. He made both mistakes. And he pays the price

Yadav to Ali, OUT, perishes to the short ball! Excellent plan from India. Although it took them a long time to decide on bouncing Moeen, their execution of it this morning has been very good. After fending at a couple, he goes for the pull again, but the ball is not right. It's outside off. It's rising up over his left shoulder, and with each inch it climbs, it makes the top-edge more probable. The batsman goes through with his shot, mistimes it, and is taken by Jadeja running to his left. Good man to have there, considering the ploy has been to bowl short
