Shubman Gill looked in good touch early on, hitting four classy boundaries during his brief innings before edging James Anderson through to Zak Crawley at second slip for 17.

In the meantime, let's have a look at some of this morning's highlights....

Good news from Edgbaston. The rain has stopped and, provided it stays away, there will be a pitch inspection in a little over 20 minutes' time.

The ground staff are already working away to get the water off the covers.

Thanks, Tom.

I'm hopeful that we'll have some cricket soon but then that was the case on each of the past two days covering the women's Test match at Taunton.

In total I had a combined 15 overs to write about in roughly seven hours. The rest was weather updates. So not a great record, really... But it couldn't be that bad for a third day in a row, could it?

It's time for me to take break, but I will leave you in the more than capable hands of Sam Drury.

Fingers crossed he will have some actual cricket to write about very soon.

Jos Buttler's first challenge as limited overs captain will be a one-day and Twenty20 series against India later this month.

England have just named their squads for both series with a few notable absentees and inclusions - you can find all the details here.

England squad for T20 series: Jos Buttler (capt, wk), Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Richard Gleeson, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Tymal Mills, Matthew Parkinson, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, David Willey.

England squad for ODI series: Jos Buttler (capt, wk), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Craig Overton, Matthew Parkinson, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey.

On Ben Stokes: "Absolutely, I'm really keen for Ben to be involved in T20 cricket. As with everyone, we need to be careful with how we manage people's workloads. But in any format of the game, you want Ben in your team."

On he possibility of opening in Test matches: "I thought someone had written the wrong story, to be honest. I don't think there is much merit in that. It was Kumar [Sangakkara], wasn't it? Maybe he was just promoting Rajasthan Royals openers! I've just been enjoying watching the Test side recently. There is no red ball in my bag at the moment."

On pushing boundaries: "What has been spoken about in the last few years is about not setting boundaries, pushing the limits and we've got a number of players in there who will keep pushing those boundaries. There is a very healthy competition for places and trying to name a squad is tough."

On the 500 barrier: "The capability is there to score 500. It is very similar to what you're seeing with Ben [Stokes] at the moment, taking the shackles off. In terms of learning from Eoin, it has always been 'this is how we're going to play' and sticking to that approach.

"If you're asking people to be aggressive and not set limitations, it is important how you play yourself. As long I as continue to play in that fashion, hopefully I can inspire others to play in the same vein."

On Eoin Morgan retiring: "He's been very clear that when the time was right he would step down. It was very sad initially but it is an exciting time for me. He's always been a selfless leader.

"He'd be a good poker player, he's been unwavering in his emotions. The way people speak about him, who have played under him, tells you everything you need to know. From the 2015 World Cup to where we are now, the white-ball cricket we've played in recent years all goes back to Morgan, Bayliss and Strauss.

On taking over as captain: "It is important to just be yourself. The way I see cricket is a very positive, attacking way. Trying to score as many as you can as quickly as you can. Being captain will be a good experience for me, learning if there is anything I need to change.

"I'm like everyone, I get nervous but once you've played for a while you can be a bit more relaxed when you're waiting to bat. Then when you go over that white line, you're trying to get yourself in the zone."

The big England news away from the pitch this week was the international retirement of Eoin Morgan and the appointment of Jos Buttler as new limited overs captain.

A bit of frustration here but it will come into the tactics over the next few days. There is a bit of rain around today but it should be clear from tomorrow onwards.

Ross: Absolutely pelting it down in Halesowen (six miles away from Edgbaston) could be a long delay if this goes over.

The rain seems to have the intent of staying on for a while, it's coming down at a decent clip. It's not quite bucketing it down yet, though.

With this rain looking well set the teams will take an early lunch.

Fingers crossed the rain will clear up during the interval.

The atmosphere turned up a notch for Anderson v Kohli. Like when Hulk Hogan stared down Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania III. The irresistible force meets the immovable object.

The rain is not that heavy, but it looks very gloomy around Edgbaston. This may be a lengthy delay.

The covers are coming on. That is the rain interruption that was promised by various apps.

And there it is. The rain is steadily getting heavier as Richard Kettleborough calls on the covers.

Hmmm. There's coats being put on and umbrellas going up.
