I had that feeling last night - England could still turn this into 420 all out and let's face it, that isn't going to be enough.

Daniel Stevenato: You can quote me on this when I'm a long way off, but England to be 336-8 at lunch and 348 all out.

Ben Stokes safely negotiates those three deliveries.

Jasprit Bumrah has three balls left to complete his over.

Ben Stokes is facing up.

Let's play.

Right, Ben Stokes is striding to the middle with Joe Root.

If this goes well for England it could be a great watch with Stokes alongside Root and Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler to come in.

Settle in.

We've just seen a pitch report from Chennai with former England opener Nick Knight and there are definite signs that the pitch is already starting to break up.

Sir Alastair Cook, who is part of the Channel 4 TV coverage, says he spoke to Stuart Broad last night and England are "definitely expecting it to break up" but potentially not until day four or five.

England have a great opportunity to take a series lead. Are they good enough to capitalise?

We also had this touching bit of sportsmanship from India skipper Virat Kohli.

Root was really struggling with cramp by the end of the day yesterday, hopefully he's got plenty of fluids on board and is ready to go big again this morning.

There was also a TMS podcast after yesterday's play with Jonathan Agnew joined by Phil Tufnell, Michael Vaughan and Prakash Wakankar.

Phil gave his thoughts on Root’s century, Michael explains why Dom Sibley’s innings is good news for the Ashes, plus we hear from the man himself – Joe Root on a special video the England team played him the night before the Test.

Have a listen here.

The first day was rather like a much-anticipated heavyweight boxing fight.

Having been through the weigh-in and face-to-to face showdowns, the first round was an opportunity for England and India to sound each other out, throw a tentative jab here and there, and set out their stall for the battle to come.

For England, it was a very promising start led by a captain who is in the form of his life.

For Joe Root to score hundreds in three consecutive Tests on the sub-continent, and to become the third Englishman to score a century in his 100th Test, is superb.

So, the game situation.

England resume on 263-3 with Joe Root on 128 not out. He'll be joined by Ben Stokes who is yet to face after Dom Sibley was out off the final ball of day one.

Root spoke about England needing to "at least match" their total so far, but spoke of a desire to score 600-700.

Basically he wants England to be batting at close. That's our barometer for success today - if England are still batting at close they should be in a very strong position, if they are bowling they've missed an opportunity.

Morning!

What a special day yesterday was for Joe Root.

I'm sure it is a day that will live long in his memory, and that of most England fans.

But, the hard work has only just started.

Sometimes sport can give you the most beautiful stories.
