  1. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Washington Sundar has left eight out of his first ten balls.

  2. Ind 277-5

    Shardul Thakur's single in the last over come off the second delivery, this time it comes off the first ball of Chris Woakes' effort.

    And as with the last over, Washington Sundar sees out the rest of the over without scoring.

  3. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Jasprit Bumrah, in these conditions, could be a very tasty prospect.

  4. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There's more nip, there's more carry, there's more everything.

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    We've got an exciting morning developing here, Jofra Archer got the breakthrough and a beautiful catch by Harry Brook. England have done exactly what they wanted to, they got out Ravindra Jadeja who's been a thorn in their side. You just feel like another breakthrough is close.

  6. Ind 276-5

    Shardul Thakur takes a single to mid-wicket for the one run from Jofra Archer's over.

    A reminder that this 276-5 is effectively 276-6 as we're not expecting Rishabh Pant to bat again in this innings (and probably not again in the series).

    Outstanding start from Archer and a worldy of a catch too!

    Andy, Lancashire

  8. Ind 275-5

    Shardul Thakur gets a couple of fours from Chris Woakes' second over of the morning.

    He gloves the opening delivery down to the fine leg ropes, then lashes through the covers three balls later.

    A further single takes him to 29 from 49 balls.

    'That was an emphatic shot' - Thakur hits Woakes for four

    Jacob Wadsworth: Can we take a second to appreciate Harry Brook's ability in the field, unbelievable consistency & regularly takes very tough chances.

  10. Ind 266-5

    Washington Sundar walks out to bat for India.

    He leaves the final delivery from Archer.

  11. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket reporter at Old Trafford

    This is hardly a newsflash, but Harry Brook has turned himself into an outstanding second slip.

  12. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    That wicket has broken Ravindra Jadeja's sequence of four consecutive 50s.

  13. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Great catch. It's just doing a bit for Jofra Archer now. There was a good healthy edge but that's a cracking catch from Harry Brook. Jofra Archer has got that line and length spot on at the moment and another left hander, Washington Sundar, has just come out. Slips, get ready.

  14. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    Jofra Archer is delighted and that's a very, very big wicket caught by Harry Brook, beautifully caught, it couldn't have been much lower. The ball moved away and that is a fantastic catch.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Jadeja c Brook b Archer 20 (Ind 266-5)

    Edged, short. Edged, short. Edged, caught!

    Jofra Archer is causing chaos immediately!

    His opening delivery is edged by the left-handed Ravindra Jadeja just short of Ben Duckett at gully, who then gets a single square.

    Shardul Thakur then plays and misses with a big booming drive attempt, then drops an edge into the ground in front of Harry Brook at second slip and takes a run from it.

    But no matter - Archer gets his wicket with his third edge of the over, with the ball nicking Jadeja's bat and flying towards the cordon, where Harry Brook takes a fine diving catch to his right.

    England take first blood early on day two.

    Archer has two deliveries edged before removing Jadeja

  16. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    England need to dislodge Ravindra Jadeja, he's a canny operator and will get stuck in. If they keep India at around 320/330, they'll be happy with that.

  17. Ind 264-4

    Chris Woakes starts our day off with a maiden to Shardul Thakur.

    The India all-rounder offers some solid early defence to the new ball.

    We're set up for a great day. It's a bit overcast and there's that muggy feeling out there again. There's a length at Old Trafford where the ball just moves a little bit more, it's a bit of a fuller length so we'll see how they start.

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

    The pitch is rock hard. I don't think it's going to deteriorate, what we saw yesterday, I think we'll see that for all five days.

  20. new ball

    England take the new ball

    Ind 264-4

    India's Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur are walking out to the middle.

    England didn't take the new ball yesterday evening in the bad light, but they'll have it now.

    Chris Woakes gets the first over of the day.
