England are away!

A little too much width from Jasprit Bumrah and Ben Duckett punches the ball through the covers for four.

Nice timing and it's a fast outfield so no chance for the chasing India fielders.

Applause from the crowd as Ben Duckett defends the first ball. It might be that kind of day.

Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett are out there with the latter on strike for the first ball of the day, to be bowled by - you guessed it - Jasprit Bumrah.

After an immaculately observed moment of silence at Headingley, the umpires head to the middle as Shubman Gill gets the India team today in a huddle.

The task for them is simple, take 10 England wickets and they'll go 1-0 up in this five-match series.

The players are gathering on the outfield and the start of day five is only a couple of minutes away.

Before play starts, there will be a moment of silence for former India spinner Dilip Doshi, who has died aged 77.

Ask Me Anything

BBC Sport’s Ask Me Anything team have been asking for your questions…

Here’s one on the outcomes of a Test match.

What are the four possible results in a Test match?

Heading into day five, all four results of a Test match are possible. Here is a look at how today could go.

The two simplest are a victory for England or India. England need 350 more runs, while India need to take 10 wickets.

The next is a drawn match. This could happen if there are delays in play because of the weather and neither team has the time needed to get what they need. With today's weather forecast, that is possible. A draw could happen without any rain interruption, if neither side achieve their target in the available overs.

The final and rarer outcome of the four is a tied match. This would involve England being bowled out for exactly 370 when chasing 371. In the more than 2,500 Test matches throughout history, a tied Test has happened twice.

Fast bowler Josh Tongue said there is no situation in which England would see a draw as a good outcome from their thrilling first Test against India at Headingley.

England will begin the fifth day on 21-0, 350 runs adrift of a target of 371. If the hosts pull it off, it would be their second-highest successful pursuit in a Test and the second-best on this ground.

Under captain Ben Stokes, England have made clear their aversion to drawing Tests. Only one of England's previous 36 matches since Stokes became skipper three years ago has ended in a draw - and that was because almost two days of the third Ashes Test at Old Trafford in 2023 were lost to rain.

There is a mixed forecast in Leeds on Tuesday, potentially complicating England's run chase.

But, asked if there was any scenario where a draw would become a good result, Tongue said: "No. Just go for the win. That's the clear message in the changing room."

Test Match Special statistician

In home Tests in the last three summers, England have only had one innings when they've scored under four an over. That was against Sri Lanka at Old Trafford last year.

England's default rate of scoring will get them to the target but conditions and match situations are different from game to game.

You would say that if England bat the 90 overs and the majority of the batting is done by the top seven or eight, then England will win the game.

India will be concerned about what happened in the five or six overs they bowled last night, nothing happened.

Overcast, windy but dry. Play on.

May the best team win.

First up - because I know you're all wondering - it is dry at Headingley.

The forecast for today, and this morning in particular, was not good. According to some weather apps, it is raining there right now.

But in reality it's overcast but dry, so we should be all set to start at 11:00 BST as planned.

That's right, after four fabulous days in Leeds, the first Test between England and India all comes down to this.

Ben Stokes' side will resume on 21-0, needing another 350 to win. India, with Jasprit Bumrah spearheading the attack, need 10 wickets.

Strap in, folks. We could have another classic on our hands.

Or England chasing 370-odd in the final innings to beat India if you prefer...
