    What a day.

    That channel. It's a tired prod from Kohli. He can't keep holding the batting line-up together. He's fallen at the last hurdle. India have looked frazzled.

    Kohli c Bairstow b Broad 0 (Ind 2-3)

    I NEVER WANT THIS DAY OF TEST CRICKET TO END.

    India captain Virat Kohli has been dismissed for a golden duck.

    Stuart Broad fires it down the corridor of uncertainty and Kohli fends loosely at it, a fine nick flying through to Jonny Bairstow to complete the catch.

    Broad wheels away in sheer, uncontrollable joy, matched only by The Oval crowd.

    Pujara's hesitancy about reviewing that has saved India a referral.

    Ball tracking shows three reds, India's number three was plumb.

    If you could be even more out that Dhawan, Pujara is it. Anderson and England are on fire.

    It's plumb.

    WICKETpublished at 3 overs

    Pujara lbw Anderson 0 (Ind 1-2)

    James Anderson draws level with Glenn McGrath for the most wickets taken by a fast bowler in Test cricket.

    What a day this has been.

    Anderson gets it to tail back in and past Cheteshwar Pujara's defence, rapping him on the pads right in front. For the second time in the over it looks plumb and umpire Joel Wilson duly raises his finger once more.

    Pujara has a lengthy discussion with KL Rahul and tries to review it - but he's run out of time and has to head off.

    That's the 98th time James Anderson has taken the first wicket in the innings, beating Glenn McGrath's record of 97.

    Ball tracking shows that was hitting the middle of middle.

    About as out as they come.

    An emphatic start from England.

    Full, straight, playing across the line, not missing anything. Dhawan has had a horrible story.

    Dhawan lbw Anderson 1 (Ind 1-1)

    So just two more needed for James Anderson then.

    England's leading Test wicket-taker pitches it up and Shikhar Dhawan plays all around it as the ball hits him dead in front.

    That is just so very out. But will Dhawan think about reviewing?

    No. KL Rahul looks to have wisely advised him against it and Dhawan trudges off.

    The people who turned up today at the last minute have got full value. Some even turned up after lunch.

  13. Ind 1-0published at 2 overs

    Stuart Broad to open up with James Anderson of course.

    Shikhar Dhawan gets himself and India off the mark with a dab to point for one.

    Broad fires down leg and Jonny Bairstow skips across to gather easily. He's got a lot better footwork behind the stumps than Rishabh Pant.

    Target 464

    KL Rahul flays a bit loosely at the last ball and it just evades the top edge.

    James Anderson starts with a maiden.

    KL Rahul drives into off for no run from James Anderson's first ball.

    One man that probably didn't need any geeing up by Joe Root just then is James Anderson.

    He needs just three wickets to surpass Glenn McGrath for the most Test wickets taken by a seam bowler.

    Joe Root is leading the England huddle on the side of the pitch.

    He then pushes Alastair Cook over the boundary rope first to lead England out.

    Haha. Cook doesn't really want to be the centre of attention and takes only a few steps before turning round and beckoning the rest of the team to join him.

    A laugh from the crowd and another warm ovation.
