India's fans are making themselves heard for the first time today. Every swing of the bat from Shardul Thakur is being roared on.
Chris Woakes takes the pace off ever so slightly and is biffed down the ground by the India all-rounder.
Defiance.

Thakur's is the fastest Test half-century on this ground. They have been playing here since 1880. He has beaten the previous best by Ian Botham.

Look at the celebration from Thakur. He has the aggressive eyes. He is giving India a sniff here.
Shardul Thakur punches the air and roars. He has fifty, after back-to-back boundaries. First he swats Ollie Robinson down the ground for four, then pulls the England seamer off the front foot through mid-wicket.

Oh dear.
Shardul Thakur goes for an attempted pull off Ollie Robinson, but gets a smidgen of glove on it instead. England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow, tumbling to his left fumbles the catch.

It is hard to remember you are watching a Test match. There is tremendous swiping going on.

India have a decent counterathakur.

This is the largest partnership of the innings.
An eventful over as Shardul Thakur continues to ride his luck a little.
In among two lbw appeals, he skies one off Chris Woakes, but it plonks into the lush turf at The Oval and he scampers two.
A ball later Thakur shuffles across his stumps and whacks the ball into the stands for six. The over ends with a slice over the top of slips for four.

England just have to stay patient. This score is so far below par.
What's the level below half-hearted? Quarter-hearted? Third-hearted? Anyway, England's slip cordon only have a partial interest in an appeal for caught behind after Umesh Yadav attempts to pull and is struck on the pad. There wasn't any bat involved.
A couple of balls later and Yadav drives him through mid-on for four.
Michael Vaughan

If I was England I would be desperate to get three wickets and get batting tonight in these conditions.
Another hoik to the leg side from Shardul Thakur off Chris Woakes as he finishes a productive over with a boundary.

Great bowling from England today. Now can we please not let them slog another 120 whilst bowling short balls and spreading all our fielders to the boundary and it will have been a good day!
Jim, Bucks
Chris Woakes, his neatly-trimmed stubble giving him a kind of Ready Brek glow in the sunshine, runs in with purpose.
Shardul Thakur hits his first ball just short of mid-off, is flummoxed by a slower ball next up, then heaves one across the line for four.
Exhibit B.
Exhibit A.

A mighty shot from Thakur! This could be a bit hairy for England.
Not sure what Shardul Thakur had in his cuppa at the tea interval, but he has just whacked Craig Overton back over his head for six into the pavilion.
The difference with Thakur here is he is the element of control with the shot. Less premeditated than Rishabh Pant.
