Righto, Ali Martin’s report is here, which means we’re away – thanks for your company and comments, sorry I couldn’t use them all. Peace out.

Marcus Trescothick – sent out presumably because no player has had a good enough day to appear – says there were good bits, referencing Crawley, but notes that no one went on and England need a better day tomorrow. They won’t look too hard at what India did because they’re “pretty unique” – I know, I know – and have plenty of areas in which they can improve tomorrow. They were expecting more action from ball and pitch first up, are hoping for some early movement and cloud cover tomorrow, and still think they can win.
