    You look at the England side and their strengh is in the batting. And there is inexperience in the bowling at the moment. Ben clearly had a gut feeling, and sometimes it has worked.

    We always say that on this surface, it's flat. But we won't know that for sure until we see Jasprit Bumrah bowl on it. He can bowl you out with anything. Until I see that, I will hold my judgment on how flat this pitch is.

  2. 'You are going to be under pressure - but I enjoy it'published at 19:01 British Summer Time 20 June

    India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, speaking to BBC Today at the Test, after his century on day one: "It was very special, it meant a lot to me. I really enjoyed it because i have worked so much before the series, after the IPL.

    "I just wanted to get in and do something for my team, for my country and for myself after the work I have put in. I loved it."

    "There is no secret. I just try to work very hard and have the will and desire to do well whenever I have the opportunity. I will just keep trying to put my team first.

    "So that mentality always helps me to get out from the pressure. What does my team require? How can I bat in this situation to help my team? These thoughts are always in my mind and that helps me a lot when I'm under presure.

    "I know in this game, you are going to be under pressure. But I really enjoy it and want to face that.I'm really grateful and blessed."

    On Shubman Gill: "It's just unbelievable the way he batted. Whatever he talks to us, he's very passionate about the game. He loves it. The way he batted and the way he carries himself outside the cricket and in the cricket, I think it's brilliant. He played very well today."

    On if Gill is glad he lost the toss after saying he would also have bowled: "I don't know about that but whatever happens, happens for good."

    On dreaming of scoring hundreds in England and Australia: "Definitely I have the desire and will. I have dreamed about things that have happened in my life. I just try to focus on my process. Whatever happens, I just keep going and will try my best every single day.

    "When these things happen, I'm very happy but I know that the next day I need to start focusing on my process and work."

    On how many India can get: "I think we will play as long as we can and there is a big opportunity for us to make a big total, so we'll try our best."

    Within the first hour it was a good pitch, so it's not easy to restrict runs. Ben Stokes is still positive and he will come back tomorrow saying let's get seven wickets.

    I am an old school traditionalist here at Leeds that when the sun is shining, with dry weather, you bat. I was staggered when he said he was going to bowl. Traditions are out the window. You always have to pick your decisions on that moment, and not things that you did here years ago or at other times. It can't affect what the decision is today.

    Let's not forget the contribution of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who struck 101 from the top of the order.

    Here's how he brought up his century.

  5. 'It was a tough day, but we'll come back strong tomorrow'published at 18:54 British Summer Time 20 June

    England bowling coach Tim Southee: "It was a tough day but we will get our opportunity to bat soon. We will come back tomorrow and try to make some inroads.

    "There is a bit on offer. The openers did well early on, particularly Rahul. It's not easy but we will get our chance with the bat. The outfield is lightning fast and days like these are days you can learn from. We can use this to grow our game.

    "There were two great knocks, Jaiswal and Pant are class players. A lot of guys chipped in around those knocks too."

    On the mood in the England squad: "The guys are good. The strength of this side is that things can be tough at times but they try to not to get too caught up in he emotions of bad days."

    On Shoaib Bashir: "He was brilliant in the Test match against Zimbabwe and he has carried on that form. He hasn't got wickets yet but there are good signs for him."

    On Ben Stokes: "He is a player that makes things happen. He made some key breakthroughs. He is in good nick and he has been bowling outstanding."

    On Chris Woakes: "It's his first test for a while. He had a good game in the Lions game recently, he bowled well at times at he will have more opportunities tomorrow."

    On Rishabh Pant: "He is another exciting player, not many people take on the last over of the day. He is unpredictable but he is a class player.

    "This is a great group of guys and I am enjoying being on the other side of the game."

    Meanwhile Rishabh Pant is unbeaten on 65 from 102 deliveries, mixing a fair amount of conventional, sensible Test batting with a smattering of funky stuff.

    Some of the latter for the shot that brought up his fifty - here's how it happened.

  7. Postpublished at 18:50 British Summer Time 20 June

    Shubman Gill is sitting pretty on 127 not out overnight, in his first Test as India captain.

    Here are some of the best shots from his century.

  8. 'I just try to be myself'published at 18:46 British Summer Time 20 June

    India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was very, very good and we all did well today. It was amazing to go out and bat, enjoy the English summer as well so we're very happy.

    "I just try to be myself and go out there and enjoy the game. That's what I do all the time."

    On plans for the match: "Nothing much, we had very good practice sessions and matches for a few weeks. We were trying to make it as simple as possible. If there is a loose ball I try to go for it.

    "I was just thinking to focus on my process because I've worked very hard in my preparation. I was just trying in myself and have that desire to do well. I really enjoyed it."

    On Shubman Gill: "He played amazingly. He was very composed and calm all the time. We batted very, very well."

    On swing early on: "100%, I accepted there was going to be swing so I thought to be consistent on my process and enjoy the moment.

    "I just try to watch the ball carefully, that's all I was thinking."

    Perhaps a reflection of the day - England have put bowling consultant Tim Southee up for post-match interviews.

    Welcome to retirement, Tim, your playing days are over, time to be cannon fodder for the cricketing media.

    Woakes has not had a day he will look back on particularly fondly. He has not played a lot of cricket recently but he's been expensive today which isn't like him.

    It's India's day. The pitch is getting better as the day has gone on and India's batters showed class.

    They are off to a good start.

  13. Close - Ind 359-3published at 85 overs

    Gill 127, Pant 65

    Pant gets a word from his captain and plays the rest of the over a bit more conventionally, adding two more runs through square and then seeing off three dot balls to end the session.

    India's day?

    Yes, India's day, I reckon.

    Pant has wound up at Woakes and smeared him for six. You'd think he would just play out the over.

  15. 6 runs

    Ind 357-3published at 84.1 overs

    Yeah, why not, Rishabh?

    Last over of the day, keep it sens... nope, Pant advances and hacks Chris Woakes and the new ball over square for six.

  16. Ind 351-3published at 84 overs

    Ooof, almost a little boost to end the day for England.

    Brydon Carse closes his over by twice beating the bat of Shubman Gill.

    A maiden over, and a wide-eyed Gill sticks his tongue out in exaggerated surprise.

  17. Ind 351-3published at 83 overs

    Woakes sends down five dot balls to Gill before the India captain retains the strike with a single to point.

    One, possibly two, overs to go today.

    Re: Dave at the airport - I'd say it's less about that and more that England thought the best thing to do when playing against a young Indian side, was, in the first day of the first Test, with a seriously weak bowling attack, to bowl under blue skies and in 25 degree heat. Simply due to the fact that they are one dimensionally fixated with chasing.

    It has not been the best day for England. There was lots of talk about India's inexperienced batting but they have been magnificent.

    The Western Terrace looks to have thinned out this evening.
