    Strange dismissal. It was not much of a ball but it stopped and stood up. Perhaps the pitch is not so flat after all...

    WICKET

    Patidar c Duckett b Hartley 5 (Ind 33-3)

    You're not still dreaming, I promise!

    England have three big wickets inside the first hour and this is an absolute gift. Has it stuck in the pitch? Maybe. It was a nothing ball from Tom Hartley but somehow Rajat Patidar has chipped the ball straight to extra cover.

    Hartley on already. This will be interesting: he has had two very helpful pitches so far. This is different. How accurately can he bowl without much spin? I don’t think Rohit will let him settle.

  4. Ind 33-2

    Immediately Rohit gets down to sweep Tom Hartley in a clear sign of macho intent from the India skipper.

  5. Time for spin for the first time.

    Tom Hartley has dismissed Rohit before in this series and Stokes brings him on early.

    Patidar comes into the Test with a stack of first-class runs behind him. That’s a very confident and stylish back foot push through the covers off Wood.

  7. Ind 32-2

    Rohit 15, Patidar 5

    Having watched all of the trouble from the other end, Rohit Sharma still looks serene. England have even decided it's already time to go to a bouncer ploy.

    Patidar, meanwhile, punches a superb boundary after a jerky start. The crowd like that.

    Mark Wood! How brilliant was that ball!

    Are there many better sights than a smiling Mark Wood?

  10. Ind 25-2

    Rajat Patidar is beaten outside off side now with the England players oooing and ahhing behind as they wait for another catch.

    That was a dodgy nine-ball duck from Shubman Gill.

    Wood is working his magic here. Extra pace is always the X factor. England will be eyeing up three or four wickets in this session to open up the game.

  12. Ind 24-2

    The pair shared a big hug after that wicket while a young England fan with a terrible bowl cut celebrated in the stands.

    Rajat Patidar is in the middle and we're only six overs in. There are two debutants and Ravindra Jadeja in the top seven after this!

    Lovely bowling by Wood. Unlike the first Test he has Anderson in support so he can run in hard and bowl flat out without worrying about runs leaking at the other end.

    WICKET

    Gill c Foakes b Wood 0 (Ind 24-2)

    Aggers is prophetic and England are on the charge!

    Mark Wood almost bowls Shubman Gill with one that skids through but next up finds the India number three's edge. It's a decent nick and Ben Foakes does not drop those.

    A century last week. A duck this. Gill has to go.

  15. Jonathan Agnew

    Real opportunity for England here with such an inexperienced Indian batting line up. Didn’t expect them to make as many as four changes.

    Good morning Matthew, from a sodden, dark and quiet Aberdeen. Hoodie over the jamas, espresso, cricket on low so as not to wake them upstairs. Come on England!

  17. Ind 23-1

    All of a sudden England are up and about.

    First there's an appeal for lbw but Shubman Gill is saved from becoming James Anderson's 696th wicket by an inside edge. He plays the next tentatively too and English hands are thrown onto heads in the slips.

  18. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter

    Excellent from Wood to get a breakthrough early. On a flat surface his extra pace was key. Beautiful delivery angling across the left hander. England starting strong.

  19. Ind 22-1

    He's good is Aggers. Even at this time in the morning.

    England will be happy they've got Shubman Gill in early.
