    The best time to bat at Headingley is late in the day. The swing has gone, and you have to earn the chance to bat in the good conditions - which England have done.

    Oh, beauty! Rory Burns is squared up as Mohammed Siraj gets one to jag past Rory Burns, who ends up missing it by an absolute mile.

    Burns, perhaps wisely, gets up the other end with a lovely flick through mid-wicket for three.

    India want the ball changed, even Virat Kohli gets involved, but the umpire says "get on with it".

    If England score 500 without loss, I'll pay for Derek in Wakefield to have "James in Basingstoke" tattooed on his forehead.

    This is how Rory Burns greeted Ravindra Jadeja earlier. Dismissive.

    The fact that Jadeja is already bowling tells you all you need to know. Virat Kohli has had to turn to his spinner because his seamers have got him nothing.

    An extremely rapid maiden from Ravindra Jadeja.

    Haseeb Hameed drags an inside edge onto his pads, and looked a little more uncomfortable in that over.

    There are still a minimum of 22 overs left in the day.

    Kohli is looking very animated in this team talk. He knows that if his team don't turn this around soon, they could've lost the Test match already.

    That was a tired-looking dive from Ishant Sharma. It's only the first day of a Test match!

    Oh, glorious! Mohammed Siraj over-pitches a bit and Rory Burns drives down the ground, and a poor attempted by Ishant Sharma allows the ball to reach the boundary.

    The India fielders aren't happy at all with Ishant's effort - or lack of it - there.

    James in Basingstoke sweats a lot bit more...

    We're playing again.

    Hopefully that is the last delay today.

    Ewan: People wondering on commentary why Hameed has looked better today than at Lord's. He’s opening!

    Here are some highlights from Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed's fifty stand.

    We're going to take drinks mid over because Mohammed Siraj isn't happy with the footholes.

    Out run the groundsmen with the big thumper. Sadly I don't think Siraj is going to do it himself like Neil Wagner likes too.

    One of the main reasons we love our readers - they all have to go one step bigger than the contributor before them.

    No signs of any spin, grip, turn - or anything - for Ravindra Jadeja in that over.

    Rory Burns moves to 23 with a push through mid-on for one.

    Wow!

    India turn to left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja and Rory Burns slog sweeps him to the mid-wicket boundary first ball.

    Shot!

    Haseeb Hameed has looked so comfortable as an opener. It would have been a real test of his resilience after that first baller at Lord's in his first game back in the side.

    Rory Burns picks up another single, down to fine leg.

    With every run James in Basingstoke (see 16:57) starts to sweat a little bit more.
