Re Sahil @ 13:52: Last year at Old Trafford my mate said "you sort the wine, I'll sort the cheeseboard." He brought half a dozen Babybels and some crackers. The crackers were slightly over a year out of date.

The India number three's first boundary of the innings, and he moves to 11 from 29 at the end of the over.

I'm not sure why Ben Stokes has just left the field, but he gave vice-captain Ollie Pope some quite animated instructions before he did.

Sai Sudharsan is such a talented young guy. He scored a lot of runs in the IPL last season.
He never bats on the day before a game.
Three for Sai Sudharsan, turning Brydon Carse through mid-wicket.
The ball beats Chris Woakes' dive, but the England bowler recovers and chases the ball down as it slows in the outfield.
Carse responds by sending a bouncer past Yashavi Jaiswal's head.

Nicely done by Yashavi Jaiswal, timing his drive past the flailing hand of Chris Woakes and through a vacant mid-off for four.
Woakes won't be happy with that, but he'll have enjoyed the dismissal of KL Rahul - take a look below.

Sai Sudharsan faces the remainder of Brydon Carse's over without scoring.
He's now faced 17 deliveries with one scoring shot.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has played and missed a lot but it's his 17th score of 50.

Ind 101-1
Yashasvi Jaiswal doesn't have to wait very long for that half-century!
He taps Brydon Carse towards point and runs a single, bringing up his 50 from 96 deliveries.
A direct hit comes in at the keeper's end, but Sudharsan makes it home safely.

Re Sahil @ 13:52: I remember being at Headingley in 2001 (Butcher wizardry innings). A typical Yorkshire local pulled out his lunch. It was a pound of cheddar and a pint of full fat milk. He literally chomped into the block of cheese like it was a sarnie. Amazing.

Sai Sudharsan gets off the mark and brings up India's hundred, working Chris Woakes' ball into the leg side for two.
The only scoring shot of the over, Jaiswal will have to wait for his 50.
Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on Test Match Special
You've got to be disciplined as a bowling unit on this pitch, you get no value for anything that's short and wide.
Yashavi Jaiswal gets four after 13 scoreless deliveries since KL Rahul's dismissal.
Brydon Carse offers plenty of width and the India opener guides the ball through third to move to 49.
He almost falls short of a half-century though, playing and missing to the final ball of the over.
Ashwanth R Kavuluri
Cricviz analyst
Chris Woakes provides the first breakthrough. He has now picked up his 36th wicket at Old Trafford — the joint most for him at a venue, alongside Lord's. His average of 17.6 at this ground is his second-best in England, behind only his 14.4 at Lord's.
A difficult first over for Sai Sudharsan, seeing Chris Woakes' first ball shape away from him and then knocking another delivery awkwardly into the off side.
The fourth ball of the over is a yorker with some late swing and the India number three flounders as he fails to get a bat on it.
Consecutive maidens for England.

Re Sahil @ 13:52: No wonder the queues were long. Poor security having to review that picnic

England are on it now. Their body language and energy is different.
