  1. Post update

    Time for us to call it a day there.

    I'll leave you with Stephan Shemilt's report from Visakhapatnam as a brilliant bowling display from Jasprit Bumrah blows England away on day two of the second Test.

    There will also be a Test Match Special podcast available to download later with thoughts from Jonathan Agnew, Phil Tufnell and Deep Dasgupta. Head over here for that.

    We'll be back at 03:45 GMT on Sunday for day three. Will England fight back?

    See you then.

  2. 'We believe we can chase anything'

    England batter Zak Crawley on TNT Sports: "They played very well, obviously Jaiswal played an unbelievable innings and Bumrah was very, very good. He bowled some unplayable balls.

    "I feel like we are still in the game massively. We back ourselves to chase a score on the fourth or fifth day.

    "I felt in good touch out there. I was able to hit the ball cleanly, and in the areas I wanted to but it was disappointing to get out when I did as the ball started to reverse and it made things tricky for the new lads coming in.

    "But it's going to go that way sometimes when we want to play positively like we do.

    "We're taking the scoreboard out of it and playing our game the way that we want to, just as we have done the past couple of years. Hopefully that's good enough for us at the end but if not, we'll go again.

    "Our approach won't change, despite the pitch and whatever they set us. We believe we can chase anything. We might not, but the belief is always there."

    SMS Message: Keith in Wimborne and all other bazball moaners. Have you forgotten how awful we were before Stokes / McCullum? We were still getting in to awful positions but never getting out of them and doing it in a dull way. It's not like we've taken a great team and ruined it. We've taken a bad team and made it better, not perfect but better. At some point both Stokes and McCullum will move on and we'll probably go back to playing traditional cricket (which may or may not have more success) but you can't seriously say you preferred us in the Root led Ashes and WI series to this... from Iain, Sunderland

  4. 'Bumrah is a bowler like no other'

    Steven Finn

    Former England fast bowler

    There are a couple of things that makes Jasprit Bumrah extra difficult to face. His arm is much closer to you as a batter than most others, so you have so much less time from that angle.

    He uses that to his advantage. He is so flexible in his arm, so not only is he bowling of upwards of 90mph, he's bowling it from about a yard further forward then any other bowler.

    As a batter you've always got to try and be one step ahead of him. He gets into your head as well because you just know that he can make the ball move in any direction he wants it to. He is a bowler like no other and he is very hard to prepare for.

  5. Post update

    "We're still in the game massively," Zak Crawley tells TNT Sports.

    Full quotes to come.

  6. Post update

    I've just seen the Jasprit Bumrah delivery that did for Ollie Pope again. Absolutely superb.

    Look at the mess of those stumps!

  7. Post update

    Sir Alastair Cook

    Former England captain on TNT Sports

    How can a fast bowler like that be such a nice guy? The smiling assassin!

    It was a really classy performance from Jasprit Bumrah.

  8. 'Paying Test cricket is my dream'

    India bowler Jasprit Bumrah on TNT Sports: "Yes, always enjoy getting the rewards. When you play in India, reverse swing plays an important role and learning to play cricket here, you get a good understanding of how to use it to your advantage. So yeah, there is no better feeling.

    "If you want to take wickets as a fast in India, you have got to learn to use reverse swing because the new ball doesn't always do much for you. As a child, I grew up watching legendary bowlers using it to bowl magical deliveries and it really inspired me. It is something that I practiced a lot, learning to set up the batters and making it a strength of mine.

    "Sometimes you can try and force the magical deliveries but it's also about being patient and setting the batter up over time. You have to have a plan and use every delivery wisely. I was very happy to execute today and happy to contribute on that pitch.

    "After the Ollie Pope delivery I did think that they would be expecting more in-swingers so that brings the outside edge into play for me.

    "I am very happy but I try not to look at numbers. I don't want to put more pressure on myself and think about milestones. Playing Test cricket has been my dream so whenever I get tired or things don't go my way, I remind myself that I am doing what I have always wanted to do and I will always put in the effort for that."

    SMS Message: Can we maybe take some perspective today from all the chat yesterday that it was England's day? 320 odd for 6 is still very decent, BazBall or not, and as shown today India at home remain a tough prospect. from Mark in Edinburgh

  10. Post update

    I wonder what the mood will be like in the England changing room tonight. They'll obviously back themselves, that's the way under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, but there must be a tinge of disappointment in there.

    They would have been delighted with their work in the morning, wrapping up the final four India wickets for 60 runs, before reaching 32-0 at lunch.

    They extended that to 114-1 but then Jasprit Bumrah turned up. They were 182-7 exactly 20 overs later but showed more grit and determination to reach 253, a deficit of 143.

    Early wickets will be the mindset in the morning.

    Stick with us, we'll have reaction from both camps hopefully and also some pundits in a short while.

  12. Close of play

    Ind 28-0; lead by 171

    Rohit Sharma gets his wish and that's us done for the day.

    India have had a superb day and have a 171-run lead after day two.

  13. Post update

    A change for England as Rehan Ahmed, who we didn't see until the 60th over in the first innings, replaces James Anderson.

  15. Ind 23-0

    Lead by 166

    This is becoming a tough day for England.

    Yashasvi Jaiswal is obviously brimming with confidence after his double century in the first innings and he helps himself to three successive boundaries to end Shoaib Bashir's second over.

    There's one down the ground, before some width opens up the cut, and then an over-correction allows for another straight drive.

  16. Ind 11-0

    Lead by 154

    Just a single from James Anderson's second over.

    There was a half-hearted appeal for lbw off the final ball, more from the slips than Anderson, but it was too high.

  18. Ind 10-0

    Lead by 153

    Over-pitched by Shoaib Bashir and Rohit Sharma just effortlessly drives to the cover boundary.

    The home fans have enjoyed both of his boundaries so far.

  19. Post update

    Like he did at just gone 04:00 GMT this morning, Shoaib Bashir is going to share the new ball with James Anderson.
