    Woakes didn't have a good day yesterday and I am surprised he is bowling this early today.

    Chris Woakes at the other end for England... and Shubman Gill drives his second delivery through the covers for four!

    Gill is now past his previous Test high score of 128.

    He doesn't add any more to his total from the remainder of the over.

  3. Ind 360-3published at 86 overs

    Gill 128, Pant 65

    Pant faces the remainder of the over and fails to score, with Carse sending some sharp short deliveries towards the India wicketkeeper.

    This ball is now six overs old - England took the new cherry at the first opportunity last night.

    I know it’s easy to pile on the England decision to bowl - but let’s get behind our team and hope they turn it around. It wouldn’t be the first time Stokes and the team have done so.

    Matt, London.

    The players are back out there - Brydon Carse will take the first over for England.

    Shubman Gill pulls his first delivery out to deep backward square and runs a single.

    Chris Woakes is the banker for this England side, but he had a bad day. He is normally perfect but he was erratic with his lines and lengths yesterday.

    And India capitalised on that.

    Here's the forecast for today - a chance of a bit of rain at tea, we'll see how we go.

    England sent out bowling coach Tim Southee for their end of day interviews yesterday, here's what he had to say about day one...

    On day one: "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 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."

    'England need to find other ways to take wickets' - Wood

    England seamer Mark Wood, speaking on BBC's Today at the Test, said the home side need to find other ways to take wickets on a flat deck at Headingley.

    England will be desperate to get out there and have a bat. The outfield is so fast and looking at the wicket this morning, there is not a mark on it. This is a batman's paradise.

    India could have 600 on the board by that point, but good sides find a way to get out of those positions.

    Gill resumes with Rishabh Pant alongside him on 65.

    The wicketkeeper mixed some steady batting with a few big hits - including this six off Shoaib Bashir.

    It would have been quite a long night for him [Shubman Gill], the adrenaline never really leaves you overnight. The hard thing is getting the rhythm again the following day, it's not as easy as it should be.

    But what a position to be in, to come back 127 not out.

    Highlights of day one, you say?

    Well, for England fans they're few and far between, but for India's supporters there's plenty to enjoy.

    The England bowlers will be looking to realign their thinking today. They missed their opportunity in those first 25 minutes yesterday. They almost tried too hard to take wickets in that first half an hour.

    The way this England team plays though is that they won't dwell on the past. They will look to how they can affect the game positively this morning.

    It's day two of the first Test at Headingley and England will be hoping that it goes significantly better than day one.

    Having put India into bat in sunny conditions, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill both made centuries as India reached stumps on 359-3.

    Former England captain Michael Vaughan said he was "staggered" by England's decision to bowl, and I think that reflects the general reaction in the stands and in our inbox.

    It's another sunny day at Headingley, will we get more of the same?
