    Morning session summary

    England lost three wickets before lunch on the opening morning of the first Test against India in Rajkot, reaching 102-3 at the interval.

    After winning the toss on a good batting surface, England put on 47 for the first wicket.

    Teenage opener Haseeb Hameed impressed on his debut before being given lbw to Ravichandran Ashwin, scoring 31 runs from 82 balls.

    Captain Alastair Cook was also lbw, for just 21, but the left-hander should have reviewed the decision as replays showed it would have been sliding down leg.

    India’s fielders looked nervous on the opening morning, dropping three catches - two from Cook and one from Hameed.

    Ben Duckett was caught by first slip off Ashwin for just 13. Joe Root remains unbeaten on 35 at lunch.

  2. A word for Broadpublished at 06:09 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016

    Broad's 100th Test here is a phenomenal achievement for a man who only started bowling fast when he was 17. I have known Stuart for a long time and, on a personal note, I am chuffed for him and his family. As he showed in the first Test in Bangladesh, he still produces incredible spells of bowling - whether it's because his gander is up, because he's cross or purely because he is needed to stand up by the team. He just knows how to find that extra gear.

    Stuart Broad wins his 100th Test cap in this game and TMS will be reviewing his achievement during the lunch interval.

    Speaking to BBC Sport this week, he says he would not have been so fortunate if he was bowling in a bygone era.

    Broad, 30, who made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in 2007, credits the selectors, who he believes are more patient than in the 1970s or 80s.

    He says things were different when his dad Chris made his Test debut in 1984.

    "I feel very fortunate I've played in an era where selectors have looked after players," a reflective Broad said.

    "They almost pick characters and techniques that they feel will succeed at international cricket.

    "There's no doubt if I was a bowler in the 70s or 80s there's a huge chance I'd have played two or three Test matches."

    What would worry me as an England supporter is that this is a good batting pitch, as good as you get on the first day in India. Yet, we had three dropped catches against the seamers, even though the ball didn't move. 

    Then, as soon as the spinners came on, they have lost three wickets. That's not good enough. We are back again with the middle order having to do it. We have one batsman left in Root, then we're down to the guys who keep having to get England out of jail. The top order are not doing enough.

    Beautiful catch, beautiful bowling. Absolute quality. The delivery had a lovely trajectory. Duckett plays inside it. You have to give credit to the bowler there. This is another guy who has got a start - these innings do not win Test matches.

    After that attacking start, Duckett departs. After those early dropped catches this is a beauty from Rahane at slip, clutching the ball centimetres from the turf, confirmed by TV replays, and that will be lunch.

    The diminutive Mishra bustles in and Root is content to play out a maiden, only the fifth of the morning so far.

    Since England were last in India in 2012, only one visiting batsman has made a hundred here. India have made 15 centuries.

  10. Eng 102-2published at 31 overs

    Three fours in the over for Duckett, a firmly struck sweep when Ashwin drifts down the leg-side, a no nonsense thrash through the covers and another sweep high into the space st square-leg. Excellent counter-attacking.

    I've seen Joe blossom since he was a young kid. It's got to the stage now where he plays a shot at every ball, always looking to score. Just settle down, because he's a quality player.

  12. Eng 90-2published at 30 overs

    Root 35, Duckett 1

    Leg-spinner Amit Mishra is the new bowler. Root collects his fifth boundary with another stylish drive through the covers. Jadeja races after it, but he loses his sun hat, then falls over and the ball trickles underneath him and rolls over the rope.

    Matt Reed: Hameed is the opener we've needed. I'd rather a slow scorer that's hard to get out, than a quick scorer that's easy to get out

    Musharraf Naqvi: Promising innings by Hameed comes to an end. #England, external will be in trouble if it fails to score 350 or less

    Duckett gets off the mark with a clip off his pads for a single off Ashwin and Root keeps the bowling by sweeping another full toss out to the fielder on the square-leg boundary.

    England were just having a good morning with one wicket down. Now it's evened up. If you add another two wickets to the score, 100-4 wouldn't seem so clever.

    Root increases the scoring rate, dispatching a Jadeja full toss to the mid-wicket boundary for his fourth four of the morning.

    It's a good ball. Ashwin has deceived him with one that hasn't turned. I'm puzzled as to why he would use the review if he hasn't hit it. When they review straight away, it's when they know they have hit it. When he has settled down, I'd be asking him why he used a review.
