After 37 overs, IND 80/3 (Rohit 32, Rahane 27)
We spoke about how Bess needs to be disciplined because that's an issue for him. He was doing alright in the over before he ended up bowling a full toss that Rahane fired through extra cover for a boundary. Six from the over. Lunch is close.
FOUR! Poor from Bess. A full toss and Rahane slams it through the extra cover for an easy boundary.
After 36 overs, IND 74/3 (Rohit 31, Rahane 22)
Rest for Leach as well as Anderson comes into the attack and starts off with a beauty. Fuller delivery that made Rahane come forward and then beat his outside edge with the ball swinging away. England would be licking their lips. Rahane manages to add a few runs with a flick and chip over midwicket on the leg side. Four from the over.
After 35 overs, IND 70/3 (Rohit 31, Rahane 18)
Time for Dom Bess to show what he can offer here. Stokes finally gets some rest. India have scored only 46 runs today in the 23 overs so far. England have bowled very well to create the pressure and Bess needs to be disciplined otherwise India can target him to get some quick runs. Rohit showed what is possible with the slog sweep in the over that got him a boundary. Just four from the over.
FOUR! Off-spinner Dom Bess bowls into the slot and Rohit brings out the slog sweep to get a boundary through deep square leg
After 34 overs, IND 66/3 (Rohit 27, Rahane 18)
Rahane has come out with a positive mindset and is looking to score at every opportunity. Leach dropped one short and though it was turning away a bit, Rahane used his wrists to pull it to cow corner for a boundary. Just four from the over.
FOUR! Shorter delivery from Leach and Rahane uses his wrist to pull it from close to body to find the gap past short midwicket.
After 33 overs, IND 62/3 (Rohit 27, Rahane 14)
Runs have started to flow for India after some very quiet overs, Stokes, in his 10th over today, erred in his length and Rahane played a glorious cover drive to pick up a boundary through extra-cover. He then picked up a double with a pull shot and a single. Rohit chipped the last delivery back to Stokes who put in a half dive but couldn't reach the ball. He looked extremely tired.
FOUR! Beauty shot from Rahane. A half-volley on off and Rahane checks his drive as the ball runs through the extra-cover region.
After 32 overs, IND 55/3 (Rohit 27, Rahane 7)
Some runs for India in Leach's over. A couple of singles and a boundary as well for Rahane who capitalises on the short ball with a pull shot to mid-wicket.

England managed only 205 and India, leading the series 2-1, reached 24 for one after fast bowler James Anderson trapped Shubman Gill lbw for a duck on the third ball of the innings.
Rohit Sharma (8) and Cheteshwar Pujara (15) were batting.
Joe Root won the toss for the third time in the series and chose to bat at the world's biggest cricket venue in Ahmedabad, where India won the spin-dominated third Test inside two days.
Wickets again fell thick and fast and Ben Stokes' 55 held England's score together.
"We will look back on that be disappointed by some of the batting, we're more than capable of scoring more than 300 on a wicket like that," said Stokes.
Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj claimed two wickets including Root's prized scalp and spinner Washington Sundar took one to cut short Stokes' stay.
"It's not like the ball is turning or something," said Siraj.
"It's a good batting wicket and we would like to bat for as many sessions as possible."
The spin, introduced in the sixth over, was again devastating and Patel removed openers Dom Sibley for two and Zak Crawley for nine to set off his haul of four for the day.
Stokes-Kohli duel
Root went for five to an in-swinging Siraj delivery as his side slumped to 30-3 before Stokes put on key partnerships with Jonny Bairstow, who made 28, and Ollie Pope (29).
Bairstow was trapped lbw by a rising Siraj delivery and failed in a review that showed the ball would have clipped the top of middle stump.
Ashwin tested Pope with his off-spin after tea and the batsman was unlucky to get an inside edge off his back pad that went to short leg, and Gill took a simple catch.
Stokes reached his 24th Test fifty with a boundary off a reverse sweep, but the left-hander fell to a straight delivery from Sundar, bowled from around the wicket.
Patel, who has claimed 22 wickets in three Tests and took 11 in the previous match, got Dan Lawrence stumped four short of his fifty.
Earlier, spin was introduced in the sixth over and Patel soon removed openers Dom Sibley for two and Zak Crawley for nine.
Bairstow, who failed to score in either innings of the third Test, tried to steady the innings along with his captain.
But Siraj broke through after the first drinks interval to trap Root on the back foot with an in-swinging delivery.
But Siraj broke through after the first drinks interval to trap Root on the back foot with an in-swinging delivery.
Siraj and Stokes were involved in a verbal duel, joined by India captain Virat Kohli, until the umpires intervened. Stokes then hit back with three boundaries off the quick bowler.
Siraj said he was "abused" by the England all-rounder and told Kohli about it, but the matter ended there.
Stokes brushed aside the incident, saying "it was two professionals showing that they care about the sport they love".
England fast bowler Jofra Archer was left out of the game with a "right elbow issue" that made him miss the second Test.

India vs England, Live Cricket Score, 3rd Test Live Updates: STUMPS! Leach provided arguably England's big breakthrough in the game when he saw off Virat Kohli for 27 in the night's final over, but altogether, India would be satisfied with how the opening night panned out. England were bowled out for 112, and India are 99-3, trailing by 13 runs. Just that one run from new batsman Rahane came off the final over, with in-form Rohit Sharma (57*) looking quite promising.
The Motera pitch, which is scheduled to host the fourth Test starting Thursday, attracted plenty of criticism after the third Test ended in an Indian victory inside two days.
