Morning one, morning all. Reality has a healthy set of molars, doesn’t it? We all know how hard India away would be, yet it still bit hard when they got stuck into Tom Hartley yesterday evening. India will resume on 119 for one, a deficit of 127 on a pitch that is day two in name, day four in nature.

With these players on this surfacee, anything is possible on this surface: an England fightback, a two-day Test, a Yashasvi Jaiswal double-hundred. The only thing we know for sure is that the game will move pretty fast.

important events
31st over: India 149-2 (Gill 18, Rahul 21) Hartley bowled some good balls – he got one past Rahul's attempted cut as I type – but the line and length were inconsistent. His numbers are he's 13-0-78-0, just a run-a-ball.
30 overs: India 145-2 (Gill 16, Rahul 19) KL Rahul got off to a strong start. The roots flow into the leg stump and are tightly swept through four short thin legs. Anyway, this is the end of another good thing. Root bowled well.
I think it's time to replace Tom Hartley with Jack Leach. It's understandable that Stokes wants to support Hartley as much as possible, but this is a crucial time in the game.
29 overs: India 141-2 (Gill 16, Rahul 15) Rahul drives Hartley continuously to mid-on for boundaries. It was a beautiful shot, but both shots were too full and too straight.
England have already missed the chance to sack Gill and Rahul. Commentators all agree that Stokes must have lost that ball in the sun.
28 overs: India 132-2 (Gill 16, Rahul 6) Rahul comes down the track but Root sees him coming and spears him on the leg side. Rahul twists his bat desperately and gets a leading edge that doesn't reach Root.
Wait, what happened there? Gil charges at Root and misses the trajectory, but Stokes loses sight of the ball in midfield! If he had picked it up, he could have easily been caught. I don't know if I ever saw it because it wasn't in a bright place anyway.
27 overs: India 127-2 (Gill 14, Rahul 3) Given their huge capabilities, it's easy to forget that both Gill and Rahul are under some pressure. Their test average is incredibly low, with Gill not scoring over 40 in his past nine innings. He's playing very cautiously, at least from an England perspective, which has allowed Hartley to settle into a rhythm. His record today is 2-0-2-0.
Matches have resumed in Brisbane., West Indies are 273 for 8 against Australia. The same goes for Martin Pegan.
26 overs: India 126-2 (Gill 14, Rahul 2) Bairstow lurks just outside the cut strip at silly mid-on, feeds a drive from Rahul, and in the same movement throws the ball to Foakes. England made a positive start.
25 overs: India 125-2 (Gill 14, Rahul 1) Tom Hartley receives a vote of confidence from Ben Stokes. He currently has two right-handers but no Jaiswal, so he will hope to settle into the innings. He only hit a single to Rahul off the last ball and he got off to a good start. First Test he didn't care about the wicket. Hartley is still chasing his first Test maiden.
ah, Foakes dropped KL Rahul. It was a sharp chance with his right bicep, but he's part of the team that will take it. “By Ben Fawkes standards, it's a no-brainer,” says commentator Dinesh Kartik.
24th place: India 124-2 (Gill 14, Rahul 0) In the absence of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul has moved to the fourth position. He's a great player, but his average Test score of 33 is a bit of a scandal.
Root starts around the wicket and blasts the second ball over the edge. That is? dropped catch? There's a noise and Foakes fumbles the ball, but UltraEdge hasn't seen it yet.
KP knows what he's talking about

Wicket! India 123-2 (Jaishwar CT and B Route 80)
Joe Root strikes the fourth pitch! Jaiswal had already dragged him into the middle of the fourth innings and it wasn't the cleanest attack. He tried to go down to the ground again and scraped the ball back to Root, who jumped up and very smartly caught it with both hands.
Joe Root, who was surprisingly unused yesterday. Opening the bowling for Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The players are almost ready. India is crowded and Rohit Sharma is delivering the message.the Biggest session of the series so far An important morning. England probably need at least three wickets by lunch.
It's a testament to the 24-year-old's current status that when you type his name into Google – at least in the UK – a Derbyshire luxury car dealership comes up at the top of Tom Hartley's debut.

preamble
First thing in the morning, everyone in the morning. In reality, you have healthy molars. We all know how difficult India's away games are, but it still hurt when Tom Hartley hit him yesterday evening. India resumed with a difference of 127 points, 119 to 1, on the pitch which was nominally the second day but actually the fourth day.
With these players in this side, anything is possible in this side, be it England's fightback, a two-day Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal's double-handed. The only thing we know for sure is that the game will go fairly quickly.
