    Good morning.

    Just waking up and wondering what has happened?

    Here you go...

    Anyway, I'm off for a coffee. To steer you through the rest of the lunch break and the afternoon, here's Matthew Henry.

    Enjoy!

    It is a finely balanced game at the momentum. We thought the pitch would do a lot more than it has. It will be a battle of attrition. A pitch doesn't start that dodgy and not deteriorate - it is just a matter of when it does happen.

    If you're just joining us, England lost their last three wickets this morning for six runs but did manage to add a handy 50 runs - though arguably left a bit out there with Joe Root on 122 not out.

    India got rid of Rohit Sharma early but Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal have looked pretty relaxed since. The pitch has looked pretty flat, certainly lacking the spice that it had yesterday morning.

  5. Lunch - Ind 34-1published at 10 overs

    Too leggy from Robinson and that's a gift for Jaiswal. He clips easily for four more, and that's lunch.

    Another intriguing session.

    Surely Jaiswal can’t do it again? He is looking very, very well balanced.

  7. Ind 30-1published at 9.2 overs

    Oh, dreamy.

    There's something about an on-drive, isn't there? Yashasvi Jaiswal elegantly drills one off Robinson for four, and holds the pose for the photographers.

    The kid is so talented.

    This pitch isn’t doing anywhere near as much as yesterday.

  9. Ind 26-1published at 9 overs

    Bit of spin.

    Shoaib Bashir starts tidily but there aren't any signs of uneven bounce so far.

    Is that a worry for England?

  10. Ind 25-1published at 8 overs

    Right on cue, a misfield from Anderson gifts Shubman Gill a bonus couple of runs.

    To give an indication of how long Ollie Robinson has been away from cricket, Ben Stokes' last wicket is more recent.

  12. Ind 22-1published at 7 overs

    Gill and Jaiswal are equal to Anderson at the moment. But watching England's greatest go about his work makes being up at this time on a Saturday slightly more bearable.

    Up early and watching with the dog in Devon. He's very interested in that rough outside off.

  14. Ind 20-1published at 6 overs

    Solid in defence from Jaiswal and Gill.

    England are probing away on a good length but the pitch isn't fizzing as it did for India's seamers yesterday morning.

    There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and Jimmy taking a wicket with the new ball.

    The youngster gets his second boundary in the over, as Anderson drifts down the leg side and it's easily clipped down to fine leg.

    The pressure is eased somewhat.

  17. Ind 13-1published at 4.1 overs

    Oh, glorious.

    Anderson overpitches ever so slightly and Yashasvi Jaiswal greets him with a straight drive straight from the coaching manual.

  18. Ind 9-1published at 4 overs

    Edged... through the slips for four.

    A tentative prod from Jaiswal but he gets away with it. Slips might need to get a little closer given Ollie Robinson's slightly slower pace.

    England had just moved Ben Duckett from gully to leg gully. If Rohit was expecting a straighter line, Anderson held it outside off stump and Rohit's footwork was too tentative.

    Shubman Gill is very vulnerable to the moving ball.
