Is Joe Root fit to bat?
Joe Root spent most of day three off the field nursing a damaged finger. He had sustained a blow on his right little finger while trying to take a catch. The incident happened early in the day and the England batter stayed off the field for the rest of the day.
James Anderson on Root's finger injury: "His finger is not great," said Anderson. "He took a blow in training this morning and again on the field. It's just making sure that is as good as it can be for when he bats. Hopefully tomorrow he'll turn up at the ground and be OK to hold a bat.
"He was just making sure he could do everything he could to help us out in the second innings, just making sure it's as good as possible for tomorrow. There's a chance we will need him with the bat so it's making sure he can hold a bat.
"I don't think there's concerns. It's making sure he's as good as he can be. There's no point risking it for an external blow, no point risking it further out in the middle, so it's making sure he's good enough to bat."

India vs England 2nd Test Day 4
First session is going to be pivotal in what could be the last day in this contest. There has been moisture on the surface in the first sessions - something Gill also spoke of. India need wickets in this session. England need to come out of it unscathed.

James Anderson on England's approach
"The chat last night from the coach was that if they get 600, we were going to go for it," said Anderson.
"It makes it very clear to everyone that we will try to do it tomorrow. I know there are 180 overs left in the game, but we will try to do it in 60 or 70."

Shubman Gill on the second Test
"Definitely pleased but I left a few out there. We could have done with a few more runs."
"I think it's 70-30 at the moment. Morning session will be key. We've seen there is moisture in the morning, and help for fast bowlers and spinners."
