  1. Here's the wicket of Rohit Sharma. Classic Jimmy...

  2. Ind 142-1

    A single apiece to Cheteshwar Pujara and KL Rahul keeps the scoreboard ticking along.

    Virat Kohli must be absolutely delighted in the India changing room. After being put in to bat, under grey ledden skies this morning, he must have feared the worse.

    We're hypercritical of England, but this India team is surely one of the best teams of all time. Rohit, Kohli, Pant, Bumrah alone are four of the best at their craft in the world. Plenty to learn from this India team.

  4. Ind 140-1

    Cheteshwar Pujara and KL Rahul are doing their best to get down to the non-striker's end and avoid James Anderson at the moment.

    Pujara gets off the mark with a push into the covers, before Rahul picks up three more between mid-on and mid-wicket.

  5. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    Squally rain again. England won't want to come off with Anderson pawing at Pujara.

    Dukkhaboy: Stop reviewing Michael Gough’s decisions.

    George, Newbury: Joe Root, the review king.

  7. Not out

    Yep, it's going an inch or two over the top of the stumps.

    England lose their first review.

    You're a brave side to take on Michael Gough. He doesn't get many wrong.

  8. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Looks a bit high for me. You could see why Jimmy Anderson went for it. He thought it might be umpire's call and he would keep the review.

  9. He's not hit it.

    Too high? It's hit the flap of the pad.

  10. England review

    Have England got Cheteshwar Pujara trapped lbw?

    James Anderson likes it. Joe Root waits till the timer gets down to two seconds to send it upstairs.

  11. If England win a match I will...

    I'll eat 10 avocados if England win a match (I'll eat pretty much anything but I can't stand avocados!) And another 20 if they win the series.

  12. Ind 136-1

    KL Rahul wisely lets Mark Wood's final ball go through to Jos Buttler.

    The 30 minutes between now and tea could be big.

  13. Ind 136-1

    Oh!

    It is four more, but in fortuitous style as a thick edge flies through the vacant gully region.

  14. Ind 132-1

    Shot.

    KL Rahul gets on top of the bounce from Mark Wood and plays a beautiful back-foot punch for four.

    Glorious that.

    Darren Fox: FINALLY!!

    Bob McFeil, Esq: JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY!

    Jack George: Not saying it's all my doing but I turn on TMS for the first time today and immediately Anderson gets Sharma.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    With the way they bat, I'm not sure Cheeshwar Pujara and KL Rahul will empty the bars any time soon...

  17. Ind 126-1

    Cheteshwar Pujara is the new batter. He leaves his first ball, before blocking the second into the gully region.

    Can England go on a bit of a roll before the delayed tea interval at 16:15 BST here?

  18. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    The Lord's slope and bowling from the Pavilion End has helped James Anderson there. Rohit Sharma has given India a great start. That Test century overseas remains elusive and it's amazing given his quality.

    Virat Kohli will be telling his players to just bat the day and not give England any easy wickets. England, though, need to get on a roll now.

    WICKET

    Rohit b Anderson 83 (Ind 126-1)

    BREAKTHROUGH!

    As has been the case so many times over the year the GOAT of English cricket James Anderson delivers.

    It's a beautiful in-swinger, that goes through the defence of Rohit Sharma, and hits the top of off stump.

    Rohit's wait for a century outside of India continues.

  20. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Rohit Sharma looks so relaxed. He has all the time in the world. It must be demoralising for England's bowlers who are running in hard, trying to bowl as fast as they can, and Rohit seems so comfortable at the crease.
