9.55am: Motera running
Rohit and Cheteshwar Pujara, India's second-wicket pair, have made a wary start so far, with just four runs coming from the opening five overs - although Stokes then serves up back-to-back full tosses to Rohit, who slugs the second of them for a boundary. There's been good pace and carry for the seamers, but nothing untoward from the surface.
Anyway, while we get settled in, why not have a gander at what George Dobell thought of England's first-innings batting effort:
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the pitches in the previous couple of Tests - really, let's not get bogged down with that here - there could be no reasonable complaints about this surface. Indeed, offering something to bowlers of all types and a fair opportunity to score for batsmen, you might well argue it has been an excellent pitch to this point. And if a team wins the toss on such a surface, they surely need to be compiling a first-innings total in excess of 300 and batting into the second day.
9.35am: Let's get it on
England start up with James Anderson, beginning a new spell from the Adani Pavilion End, and Ben Stokes. Anderson has conceded his first runs, but also rapped Rohit Sharma on the pads a couple of times. Time to find out which side of bed this Motera deck has woken up on...
9.15am: Morning call
Hello and welcome back to the action. India did a sterling job with the ball on day one - even if England's rummage down the back of the sofa did bring them 200 for the first time in a while - and can take purposeful strides towards the WTC final with a solid showing from their batsmen. The tourists are in need of a cascade of wickets, but probably won't get quite so much help from the pitch. Either way, let's hope it's a good, honest scrap between professionals who care about the sport they love. Shall we?
