KL Rahul falls short of the century as the hosts look to extend the lead over the careless visitors in Hyderabad

Remember we are the only place in the UK listening to live commentary of the entire Test series in India.

Harmison worried about England

Steve Harmison is concerned that England are now scrambling for answers because India are scoring runs so quickly.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “India wait for the two bad balls, and respect the four good balls.

“England lead at five and six runs.

“Ben Stokes likes to be short leg, silly middle, but the state of the game dictates he can't do that.”

India 254-4 (58 overs)

Rahul 79, Jadeja 7

Joe Root gets Ravindra Jadeja into some trouble at first before executing a long jumper that punches the spinner to the ground for four.

With every pass, the hosts increased their lead.

India 250-4 (57 overs)

Rahul 79, Jadeja 3

Ben Stokes keeps faith with Rehan Ahmed.

KL Rahul drives down the pitch and hits the spinner away for a six in a row off the first ball.

He follows this up with another huge six as India surpasses England's score.

In fact, that second ball was begging to be served from the ground.

India 236-4 (56 overs)

Rahul 66, Jadeja 3

Joe Root returned in place of Jack Leach bowling around the wicket for Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.

Root thinks he has pinned LBW Rahul, but Chris Gaffney says no.

England has no reviews left, so the mixture survives.

On replay, that would have been a referee's call, which is unfortunate.

Steve Harmison: “I'm not convinced about that. But it's an excellent delivery, but it was loud.”

Darren Gough: “It was impressive, Joe.”
