  1. Eng 94-1

    Mohammed Shami gets a bit of lift and tempts Alastair Cook into playing at it.

    A brief appeal for caught behind but nothing given. It was close but no nick on that.

    Peter Collins: Let's just give some appreciation to how well England are batting. Yes it is slow, but we've never crying out for this kind of batting mentally for ages. Bat away lads!

  3. Eng 94-1

    Ravindra Jadeja slides it down leg and Alastair Cook leans on it, to work a single round the corner.

    Moeen Ali aims a big heave at the last ball, inside edge into the ground and the ball bounces up into his grille.

    Jonathan: I often see youngsters going round the ground collecting discarded cups and then going and cashing them in at The Oval!

  5. Eng 93-1

    Cook 44, Moeen 19

    Moeen Ali works it into a big gap in the leg side and takes two.

    Mohammed Shami then sends down a couple that absolutely hoop after passing the batsman and Rishabh Pant does well to prevent byes.

    Cook is in the mode that he likes, which is just getting on with it and giving England the platform to put on a really substantial score.

    Phil Kennard: Whisper it... are England going to get to 100 without losing four wickets?

    This would be huge mockers if they didn't.

  8. Eng 91-1

    Cook watchfully plays the first four balls before rocking back to the fifth and working it to square leg for one.

    Moeen advances slightly down the pitch to the last and clips to wide mid-on for another single.

  9. Double change for India.

    Slow left-armer Ravindra Jadeja is into the attack.

    Moeen is my number one batsmen in the world for watching at the moment. He reminds me of David Gower - that easy timing, with some lovely strokes. And that little bit of unpredictability, too. You're never quite sure what he's going to do.

  11. Sunil Gavaskar
    Former India captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Wonderful timing. He just leaned into the drive. It was in the air for a bit but very safe. This is exactly what England want from Moeen - when the bad ball comes along, whack it to the boundary.

  12. Eng 89-1

    Cook 43, Moeen 16

    Shot! Moeen Ali sweetly times a drive down the ground to find the fence.

    Superb stuff - is he starting to settle in after a nervy start?

  13. It's been a good spell by Ishant Sharma after lunch but no wickets and Mohammed Shami is coming on to replace him...

  14. Sunil Gavaskar
    Former India captain on BBC Test Match Special

    My last Test innings was against Pakistan in 1987. India lost, so it wasn't quite a memorable Test match for me.

  15. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    This is probably the easiest first day pitch we've had in this series.

  16. Eng 83-1

    Another tight over from Jasprit Bumrah, just a leg-bye off Moeen Ali.

    Thomas Wright: Your post says that only four cups can be carried at once? I beg to differ...

    It's taken England 40 minutes to find the boundary after lunch.

  20. Eng 82-1

    Cook 43, Moeen 10

    This is the last Test match we'll ever be able to use the cricket cliche that you can tell Alastair Cook is in good nick when his feet are moving and he brings out the cover drive.

    He does have one, remember. And he unfurls it here in delicious fashion, caressing the ball away to the fence.
