Running repairs to the pitch with some issues with the bowler's footmarks by the looks.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI'm surprised they gave Anshul Kamboj the new ball. it's a big, big moment for India, they can't let England get off to a flyer. Surely they'd be using Mohammed Siraj.

12 balls and Crawley yet to get off the mark.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialThere's a bit of swing out there but there's not as much of that seam movement that we saw this morning.

Former India wicketkeeperI believe that there are ridges on this pitch and it will start to affect how the ball moves as the game goes on.

Almost a bizarre hit wicket from Ben Duckett after he gets himself in a bit of tangle and nearly drops his bat on to the stumps.
Final two balls of the over and twice Duckett clips Anshul Kamboj square of the wicket for four. Nicely done.

Anshul Kamboj with his first over in Test cricket.
His second delivery is down the leg side and Ben Duckett gloves it just past a spectacular dive from Dhruv Jurel.
Four rather fortuitous runs for the England opener.

Image source, Getty ImagesI think India have got a good score. If they bowl well, they can create chances. They say don't judge a pitch until you've seen both teams bat, England may perform differently on this, they've got a deep line up. I do think this is a competitive score though.
Jasprit Bumrah could really be a handful on here.

The last wicket came so fast I didn’t get a chance to add Mount Kohlimanjaro to the list of cricketing hills…

One more ball is the answer!
Another delivery that Zak Crawley should have left to Jasprit Bumrah but instead ends up wafting outside off stump. No edge, though.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is going to be great fun this, Jasprit Bumrah will carry on dangling the carrot. How long can Zak Crawley resist it?

A nice bit of away shape from Jasprit Bumrah to Zak Crawley who leaves his first three deliveries from the India seam bowler outside off stump.
How long will Crawley wait before thrusting his hands at one...

CricViz data analystEngland bowling to the tail has been a tough watch in recent years. Since the beginning of 2023 up until the start of this series, England were averaging 16.91 with the ball when bowling to batters 9-11. The only team with a worse record in this period was Pakistan. In this series, the Indian tail has not wagged, and England have averaged 5.21 with the ball against the last three batters.
