  1. How's stat?!

    Cricket statistician on BBC Test Match Special

    We talked of it being a morning of two halves. The first seven overs were 28-0 but the next seven overs were 0-2.

  2. Ind 28-2

    After a bend of the knees Virat lets his first ball ball go by, raising his bat out of the way in extravagant fashion.

    Will Anderson return now Kohli is in? Woakes continues.

  3. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special

    This is a big innings for Virat Kohli. Not just individually but as captain of the India team given what happened in the last Test match. He needs to fire. He looked good in his last innings, got a half-century, but he has to find that 2018 mindset with a balance between defence and attack.

  4. Here's Virat. A big period coming up.

    There hasn't been a run for more than half an hour.

  5. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special

    It's above the knee roll but he's on the back foot. It looked a little high but it's a fair call. I thought KL Rahul could have played that on the front foot where he is a more comfortable player.

    WICKET

    Rahul lbw Robinson 17 (Ind 28-2)

    Out! It's a good decision and a really good delivery from Ollie Robinson. It nipped back and would have hit the top of off stump had Rahul's pad not got in the way.

    England on top now.

  7. Rahul has NOT hit it...

  8. India review

    Given! KL Rahul is given out lbw to Ollie Robinson.

    It took a long time for the finger to go up and Rahul sends it upstairs.

  9. Ollie Robinson will continue after the drinks break.

  10. Deep Dasgupta
    Former India wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special

    India have done okay in challenging conditions. There's a little bit of dampness and a healthy tinge of green on the pitch. So really it is far so good despite the loss of Rohit Sharma for India, but they cannot to lose any more wickets.

  11. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on BBC Two

    It's been 37 dot balls for India heading into drinks. Six consecutive maidens.

  12. Ind 28-1

    Rahul 17, Pujara 0

    I wandered around that new stand Stephen mentions during my time at the Oval for The Hundred. I felt very underdressed.

    A sixth consecutive maiden takes us to drinks. England have come back well in that second half hour.

  13. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at the Kia Oval

    To the left of the pavilion is the impressive new Galadari Stand. The top section is miles high, way up in the sky. Rumours that ticket-holders for the very back row have to sign a waiver are yet to be confirmed...

  14. Ind 28-1

    That may not have been a wicket but India have now gone 30-odd balls without scoring. There have been five maidens in a row.

    Chris Woakes still hasn't conceded a run.

  15. Not out

    Root never looked convinced and should have stuck to his instincts. It was missing high and wide.

    England lose a review.

  16. It looks high.

  17. England review

    Ind 28-1

    Ollie Robinson has persuaded Joe Root to go for an lbw review.

    Rahul did get a fair way across...

  18. There's so much love for Woakes out there. Such a good player.

  19. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Russ Williams: So happy to see Chris Woakes back! May there be many wickets today.

    John Petrie: These are perfect conditions for Woakes return to the team.

    Imtiaaz: For Tests in England, Woakes should be the first name on the team sheet (assuming he's fit).

  20. Ind 28-1

    Cheteshwar Pujara is in watchful mode. Chris Woakes attempts to pull the new Indian batsman wide with a few deliveries into the channel. He ends the over with a delivery which nips back and strikes Pujara high on the pad, prompting some 'oohs and ahhs' from England's cordon.

    A maiden from Chris Woakes, who is bowling with a lovely rhythm.
