On Kohli

1.45pm

Here's Shiva Jayaraman from our stats team, looking at what the number say about Kohli's luck:

"Why can't he replicate his form from his last tour to England? Is Virat Kohli out of form? Is he shuffling too far across to the off stump with his back foot? Is he playing with hard hands? Or is it just bad luck?

In the first Test of the 2018 tour, at Edgbaston, James Anderson tested Kohli outside off and had him nick one to the second slip, where Dawid Malan dropped the catch. Kohli went on to score a hundred. Anderson would end up bowling 270 balls at Kohli on that tour without managing to dismiss the India captain. Kohli made 593 runs in that series with two hundreds and three fifties. On this tour, he has managed all of 62 runs in three innings.

ESPNcricinfo's control data reveals that Kohli has actually been in control of a higher percentage of the shots that he has played in the first-50 balls of his innings on this tour than he was in 2018. In the first two Tests of the 2018 tour, Kohli was in control of 74.8% of the shots he played in the first fifty balls he faced. On this tour, he has played with a higher control at 81%. Forty-five false shot brought about one dismissal. On this tour, 18 have brought two. Kohli was dropped thrice in the first two Tests of the last tour. He hasn't been let off this time around. Luck's contribution is often forgotten when a player does well, their technique is blamed when they don't. Or it could be that batters make their luck with tighter techniques. Maybe, Kohli's shuffle across to the offstump is bad luck for him."

Things have happened

12.58pm

It was getting heated out there - words exchanged, lbw appeals, booming cover drives. From England, it's been relentless pressure. And that been in large part because their fourth bowler has shown up in some style. Sam Curran didn't find too much success in the first Test, or in the first innings of this match, but he's shown up when it mattered. And he's done it with some good old-fashioned setting up.

Was around the wicket to Kohli for the most part, angling it in. Then troubled his inside edge with the inswinger, and then dangled the wide one. Kohli had been driving freely through the covers, but he's been done by the angle while playing for an inswinger. Wonder if the exchange with Anderson unsettled him? He's chucked something at the window in the dressing room, looks like a glove.

This has been a sensational session of bowling from England. India are in trouble and the men in charge of trying to dig them out of it will feel like they are also playing for their own spots.

Rohit falling at fine leg and square leg in Tests

0 for 2

It is on! India's openers are out cheaply with the scores level. England now, by some distance, the team that is ahead in the Test. Mark Wood has been immense. There is variable bounce in this pitch - if you'll remember Anderson getting one to rise on Rahul, then one to keep low - and at Wood's pace, it has pushed India out of comfort.

Not to say that it's variable bounce that got Wood those wickets - those are both super execution of plans. Both openers were solid on the front foot and England had the man to tackle that. In the first innings, he came on very late, in about the 20th over. Today, he's in there early and he's unsettled India right away. And there will be another inquest into Rohit's shot selection - second time this series, and at least the third time this year, that he's been dismissed playing the hook. This one will need serious explaining - three men back, one of whom had literally just gone there. England are all over India.

The FOMO is real

10.50am

I'd give anything to be strapping the boots on, pulling on my England shirt, plonking the floppy hat on my head & walking down those Lord's steps, through the long room out onto the outfield to the crowds roar knowing that 8-10 wkts today breaks this Test match right open…

Moving day^TM

10.30am

Good morning and welcome back to the Live Report. This match situation should thrill those who like symmetry - exactly two days remain for the remaining two innings. From all the evidence so far of the weather, that should mean two full days too. That's 180 overs left of a contest in which neither side has been able to make big strides without being stopped in its tracks; it could get very delicate these next two days as they step into top gear to try and go 1-0 ahead. India's openers have a job to do first - see off the new ball and get deep enough into the innings that the middle-order can bat with some freedom. They've both been in good form so far. There will be many English counting the law of averages to catch up with them today. I'm convinced it's the only way this match turns real spicy, real fast.
