The game has gone mad, says Nasser Hussein.
Bhuvi starts things off and Root clips him off his pads for two runs.
Whatever the plan was before lunch, don't change it, says Hussein.
The partnership is up to 190 now. It is the best in this Test by some distance.
Ishant starts at the other end.
FOUR! Ishant is too full to and Root eases him down the ground to get to his 150. Taken him 283 balls and includes 15 fours.
Root swipes at a wide one and everyone in India thinks he has nicked it. The umpire doesn't move though and Ishant has some choice words for Root, who gets upset and follows Ishant down the pitch mouthing his own reply.
It takes Anderson to push Root away and calm him down. Replays show the ball missed the bat by some distance.
There was a clear sound though, so you can't blame India for going up in appeal. It wasn't from ball hitting bat though. It came earlier.
After all that argy-bargy, England continue on their merry way. They are just seven away from 500.
Anderson wafts at Bhuvi outside off.
It is a flat surface here, says Hussein.
Dhoni has three slips in place for Root. They could probably come forward a step or two, though.
Anderson yet to add to his score after lunch.
Bhuvi beats him with one that seams away off a good length. Anderson responds by driving on the up next delivery but the mid-off fielder cuts it off.
OUT! There will be no hundred for Anderson. He drives away from body as Bhuvi angles one across him and Dhawan at wide first slip dives full length to his right to snag a good, low catch.

England bowled out for 496. The last wicket stand is finally broken after 198 record-breaking runs were scored. Root remains not out on 154.
The wicket also gives Bhuvi five wickets in the innings. He was clearly the best India had to offer and finished with 5 for 82 from 30.5 overs.
England have a lead of 39. How will India respond?
Shikhar Dhawan and Murali Vijay are out in the middle.
Anderson starts us off. India's centurion Murali Vijay is on strike.
Stokes will continue. He's been impressive in this session so far.
FOUR! Nicely done by Pujara. Good length delivery outside off, Pujara cuts it wide of the gully fielder for a boundary.
Short of a length delivery outside off, Pujara sways away from the line. Four runs off the over.
And now one stays low. Length delivery outside off, it stays low. Vijay just about gets his bat down in time and defends.
FOUR! Crunching shot. Fullish outside off, Pujara drives it crisply through extra cover for a boundary.
Length delivery on middle and leg, Pujara clips it through mid-wicket for a couple.
Another good over from Stokes comes to an end.
Lovely shot but straight to the fielder. Full outside off, swinging back in, Vijay drives it straight to short cover.
James Anderson into the attack now. There was some reverse in the last over, looks like the decision has been made to bring him on because of that.
A good over from Anderson. He got a bit of reverse going in that over.
Interesting.... Prior is standing up to the stumps to Broad!
FOUR! Nicely done, Length delivery outside off, tailing away. Vijay guides it to third man for a boundary.
Nasir Hossain on air says James Anderson is an Arsenal fan and was delighted with the signing of Alexis Sanchez!
Anderson will continue. Prior is standing up to the stumps to him too..
One run off the Anderson over.
Length deliver on middle and leg, Pujara clips it straight to square leg.
Stokes looks as though he might take plenty of wickets in this series when he doesn't have such a turd of a pitch to bowl onby JoHarmanAOC via twitter 7/12/2014 3:49:01 PM
