Dhawan c Bairstow b Broad 13 (Ind 22-2)
Oh Stuart Broad really is on one here!
Shikhar Dhawan got away with it the ball before, but this time he falls.
Another loose drive at a ball that angles in and nibbles away, this time it catches the edge and Jonny Bairstow completes a simple catch.
Virat Kohli, come on down...
Ind 22-1published at 7.2 overs
Shikhar Dhawan flirts at a peach that shapes away. Jonny Bairstow and the cordon go up briefly for caught behind but that was a whisker away from the edge.
Stuart Broad looks on one here...

Sam Curran's wonderful Test match doesn't quite have a run out to boot.
Rahul was indeed in by the time the bails were broken.
Still, pressure building...

Replays show the impact was outside but, as Vijay was offering no shot, that doesn't matter.
The ball would've clattered into the stumps. One down. Edgbaston sounding electric.

Vijay lbw Broad 6 (Ind 19-1)
Dawid Malan, go and give Stuart Broad a big high five.
Murali Vijay's reprieve does not last long, falling to a fine bit of bowling by Broad.
The England seamer sets him up with the outswinger before hooping down a big inswinger that Vijay doesn't pick, shouldering arms.
The ball clatters into the pads, huge appeal and given straight away. Vijay wisely opts against the review.
