  2. Ind 91-3

    Ben Stokes had a 'Stuart Broad at Trent Bridge' expression on his face after the wicket. Kohli just stood there bemused. He had been bowled.

    There are eight minutes to go until lunch. The atmosphere has changed completely.

  3. Ind 90-3

    A picture for Moeen to frame on his bedroom wall...

    Mark Puttick: Virat Kohli's "they've come to see me bat not you bowl" reaction after being clean bowled would have worked had Moeen Ali not been the bowler.

  5. Ind 90-3

    Rohit 65, Rahane 4

    That ball pitch a foot outside off and hit the top of middle and leg. It ripped between Kohli's bat and pad.

    This is day one.

  6. This match could be behind closed doors again. Total silence.

    Kohli is back in the dressing room with his hands on his hips.

    Andy: I am so sorry Mo for wanting Bess in the team. Seeing Virat’s face was all worth it.

    WICKET

    Kohli b Moeen 0 (Ind 86-3)

    CHENNAI FALLS SILENT.

    Moeen Ali has bowled Virat Kohli with a delivery that has turned square. Incredible moment.

    Kohli stands there and can't believe what has happened. He thinks Foakes must have taken the bails off with his gloves. For some reason the decision is reviewed but it's bowled.

  9. Ind 85-2

    Ooooooft! Kohli lifts his arms high out of the way on his first ball and England's close fielders gasp. They thought it was in with a shout of bowling the great man.

    For a second, maybe panicked, the crowd falls silent.

  10. India may have lost a wicket but you can hardly hear the commentators because of a deafening roar from the stands.

    Here's Virat.

    WICKET

    Pujara c Stokes b Leach 21 (Ind 85-2)

    England needed this! Ben Stokes snaffles up the catch after Jack Leach finds Cheteshwar Pujara's edge.

    Lovely bowling.

    Based on that mullet Rory Burns is Chris Waddle

  13. Ind 84-1

    Rohit 63, Pujara 21

    Too short again from Moeen and Rohit just guides him away to the boundary behind square. Rohit is scrambling England's brains.

  14. Two of the greats.

  16. Ind 78-1

    Dan Lawrence takes the ball from a team-mate and whips off his cap. For a second I thought he was coming on to bowl 19 overs into a Test. Things aren't that bad yet!

    Moeen continues.

  17. Ind 77-1

    Rohit 57, Pujara 20

    Kohli has his India cap on and is slouched in his chair. He hardly looks terrified at the prospect of going out to bat.

    Leach's latest over is a better one. Two from it.

    Rob Key is Matt le Tissier. One club man, not huge on fitness, should have played more for England

  19. Ind 75-1

    Rohit 56, Pujara 19

    A poor ball ends Moeen's over and Rohit is in far too good touch to miss out. Settle in folks, this could be one of those days.

  20. Ind 70-1

    Just as you say that Mark, Moeen finds the edge of Rohit's bat. Again, it drops short of Ben Stokes at slip.

    Stokes mutters something which, if my lip reading skills are up to scratch, was not very complimentary.
