I sense here that Yashasvi Jaiswal is vulnerable with the short ball and England can pull it back with some of those.

England keep trying to get the ball changed. They fail for a third time.

Which have we seen more of today? Chris Woakes appealing, Karun Nair driving through the covers, or the umpire's ball gauge?

Yashasvi Jaiswal has swatted that like a tennis volley, or like pickleball.

Ben Stokes said yesterday in his press conferences he wanted England to be a bit quicker to change plans when things go flat than at Headingley. It looks like we're in for some consistent short stuff. Is this him doing just that?

Yashasvi Jaiswal pounces on a short delivery and slaps Ben Stokes for four.

Another six runs to India's total. Jaiswal, now on 42, is closing in on a half-century.

Of the 41 India players to have scored more than 500 Test runs against England, Yashasvi Jaiswal has the highest batting average:

• Yashasvi Jaiswal: 12 inns, Avg 85.40
• Rahul Dravid: 37 inns, Avg 60.93
• Mohammed Azharuddin: 24 inns, Avg 58.09
• Sourav Ganguly: 19 inns, Avg 57.82
• Sachin Tendulkar: 53 inns, Avg 51.73

An update on the painting... the pitch, the stands, and the floodlights are all in place. Wait, that makes it sound like I'm painting... I'm not, someone in the stands is. I wonder which moment of play he'll choose to depict the players in.

A couple of singles off Josh Tongue's fourth over as India move to 65-1. Their run rate, which for much of the first hour was languishing around two, has climbed above 3.5.

Significantly less swing on offer for England here in Edgbaston than they found in the first innings at Headingley, where they were getting nearly three times as much (1.5° v 0.6° today). Because of this lack of lateral movement England have had to be more disciplined with their line, with 55% of balls on a good line this morning compared to 40% by this time in the first innings in the first Test.

India are profiting nicely from their drives in this first session. Yashasvi Jaiswal adds a seventh boundary to his individual tally.

That was a decent ball from Josh Tongue and Yashasvi Jaiswal just waited and glided the ball into that space.

He's made a good start here.

Josh Tongue responds to being hit for consecutive fours with three dot balls. However, Yashasvi Jasiwal has the last laugh, guiding the ball beyond Ben Duckett at gully and away for four more.

With three boundaries off the over, Jaiswal has accelerated to 31 (41).

Yep, India's batters are well and truly feeling themselves now.

Back-to-back boundaries from the bat of Yashasvi Jaiswal into the off side. Both deliveries from Josh Tongue were too full and punished.

Karun Nair picks a different area of the boundary to target, clipping Ben Stokes through mid-wicket for four.

The previous ball, Yashasvi Jaiswal ran three.

India are just beginning to purr into life.

Plenty of people have been getting in touch about umpire's call.

Quite handily, the Ask Me Anything team has written an explainer on this very topic, which you can read here.

I have to confess, the 300cm fact at the end of the article was news to me. My brow, like Woakes' earlier, is quite furrowed as I try to visualise that situation.
