  1. India review

    Ben StokesPA Media

    Huge appeal from Ben Stokes!

    He's struck Shubman Gill on the pads, leaving the ball.

    Up goes umpire Rod Tucker's finger, and the India captain is going to review...

  2. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Liam Dawson just has so much more experience than Shoaib Bashir.

  3. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Shoaib Bashir gets more bounce but Liam Dawson has just brought in some control.

  4. Ind 140-2

    Just the one single, knocked to mid-on by Shubman Gill, from Liam Dawson's sixth over.

    Let's have a look at his dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal, shall we?

  5. How's stat?!

    To illustrate how unlucky England have been today, CricViz's expected score model puts India at 149-5.

    I can hear the mentions of Ben Foakes marching towards social media. Bar a missed stumping at Headingley, Smith had had a very good series with the gloves. He was excellent standing up to the seamers at Lord's. That's a very bad miss. He got himself into an awful position, feet in a huge tangle.

  7. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Old Trafford

    There wasn’t much but Ben Stokes just gave Jamie Smith a gentle tap on the back at the end of the over.

  8. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Ben Stokes is bowling beautifully.

  9. Ind 139-2

    Sudharsan defends two of Stokes' remaining deliveries, leaves the other one.

    We've got just over 15 minutes until tea.

  10. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Jamie Smith has been very solid behind the stumps his whole Test career. He barely even got a mitt on it, maybe it's swung back on him.

    Sudharsan dropped on 20

    Did Sai Sudharsan get any bat on that?

    He did!

    The India number three tries to clip Ben Stokes away behind square, gets a bit of a nick on it and Jamie Smith completely misjudges it diving down the leg side, with the ball striking his chest.

    All is calm in the temporary stand at the moment. The occasional burst from the trumpeter brings the England fans to life but otherwise things are sedate. Fancy dress is at a minimum today.

    Re Ruth @ 15:03: If you haven't eaten a cucumber whole before I'd recommend it! I first saw it when a Kiwi overseas came back from a post match night out and polished off a whole one with a few swigs from a 4 pint bottle of milk. It makes you feel a little like a caveman.

    It was almost like Ben Stokes might fly and catch that one. A relief for India.

  15. Ind 138-2

    Just clear of Ben Stokes at mid-on!

    Shubman Gill advances to the final delivery of Liam Dawson's over and tries to loft the spinner well clear of England's captain.

    He doesn't quite get hold of it, but it's just enough to beat the diving Stokes, with the ball racing away for four.

  16. Lancs apologise but say fans arrived 'very late'

    Gates at Old TraffordGetty Images

    We were inundated with messages from cricket fans this morning who faced a long wait to get into Old Trafford for the start of today's match.

    Many spectators told how they had missed the start of play, with Andrew from Marple, Stockport, saying the match-day organisation needed a "radical overhaul", while Kevin Ticehurst said the queue to get in was "five miles long in either direction".

    Lancashire County Cricket Club has apologised and said it would be looking at increasing the number of gates for the rest of the match, but also pointed out thousands of fans had arrived "very late".

    A club representative said: "We are aware that some supporters experienced queues this morning, which we apologise for.

    "We saw nearly 9,000 supporters arrive at the ground very late despite encouraging early arrival, with all bags subject to searches on entry. The club will be looking at increasing the number of gates."

  17. How's stat?!

    Ashwanth R Kavuluri

    Shubman Gill averages 28.3 and scores at just 2.8 runs per over against left-arm orthodox spin — both his lowest against any bowling type.

  18. Ind 133-2

    Ben Stokes brings himself on to replace Jofra Archer - he had figures of 0-14 from five overs this morning.

    A couple of singles from his first effort this afternoon.

  19. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I was just waiting for that shot by Sai Sudharsan where he just punches it. He's played within himself but has some beautiful strokes.

    There was a bit of umph in that shot. It's his power that really impresses me, hopefully we'll see some more of that today.

  20. Ind 131-2

    Just a secondary boundary for Sai Sudharsan, lashing Liam Dawson's wide-ish delivery through the covers.

    Three dot balls follow, the India number three is on 18 from 54 deliveries.
