  1. Ind 25-0published at 7 overs

    Just one from another probing Anderson over but Rohit and Jaiswal look pretty relaxed. That 'chance' down the leg side is the only mistake I can recall them making.

  2. Not outpublished at 6.3 overs

    Flicked the thigh pad.

    Anderson's wait goes on.

  3. India reviewpublished at 6.3 overs

    Test wicket number 699! Or is it?

    Rohit Sharma is given out caught down the leg side but he reviews immediately, laughing.

  4. Ind 24-0published at 6 overs

    In fairness, England's openers were pretty good in the opening hour too.

    It was the spinners that triggered the collapse so let's at least give Bashir and Hartley the chance to bowl first.

    And on cue, Rohit Sharma drives beautifully straight down the ground for four as Mark Wood overpitches.

    India look like taking a wicket with every ball. We look like we could bowl for a week and barely graze the stumps. Batting takes some rightful stick, but we aren’t in their league with ball at all.

  6. Ind 18-0published at 5 overs

    There are certain winters and summers that I remember purely by which batter I spent the most time live-texting.

    This has been the winter of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Before that I had the summer of Daryl Mitchell, and the winter of Steve Smith (shudders).

    If we're looking for bright sparks from the series, the opening partnership of Crawley and Duckett has to be one. They've had seven 45+ opening partnership this series, and we've been 100-1 four times this series (we were 100-5 or more in almost every innings last tour of India). This is a good India team who are untouchable at home, and the introduction of Kuldeep has had a similar impact to Woakes in last summer's ashes.

  8. Ind 16-0published at 4 overs

    And now thrashed through the covers for four!

    An expensive over.

    Ind 12-0published at 3.4 overs

    OK, then.

    Mark Wood decides to test Rohit Sharma with a short ball. It's at good pace and well-directed, but the India captain hooks it for a massive six.

    In other news I’m sad to see that Marais Erasmus is standing down as an international umpire. With a huge smile always on his face he was wonderful company over a dinner or two on tour. He is an excellent, fair and honest umpire. The circuit will be poorer without him.

  11. Ind 6-0published at 3 overs

    Jaiswal tries to counter the swing but walking down the wicket at Anderson.

    As you'd expect, Anderson doesn't like it and throws the ball back towards his stumps - but the batter has made his ground.

    Fiery.

    England must get early wickets to get back into this Test match. If India can get through the new ball they could really make it difficult for England.

  13. Ind 6-0published at 2 overs

    Mark Wood takes the second over. He can't match James Anderson's swing and is punched through the covers for four by Rohit.

    The colourful seats in the stands at Dharamsala have really filled up now and with the sun beaming down, it looks an absolute picture.

  14. Ind 1-0published at 1 over

    There may not be as many clouds but there's still decent movement for Anderson.

    He squares Rohit up, the ball straightening as he tried to clip it through the leg side, but the India skipper survives. Externally, he looks as calm as ever.

  15. Ind 1-0published at 0.3 overs

    Bang on the money with two dot balls, before Jaiswal dabs a single to get himself and India under way.

    It's time to find out whether it was the pitch, the bowlers, or just England being England.

    Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are in the middle. The clouds of this morning have mostly eased, and the sun is shining.

    James Anderson has the ball in hand, 698 Test wickets to his name...

    There were no demons in the pitch but the unexpected turn has caused England problems.

    I don't know if mentally they thought they'd got through the new ball, the moving ball and first hour was tough.

    The seamers bowled pretty lengths but Kuldeep Yadav caused problems as soon as he came on and found turn. He can create something from nothing and that is the positive of having a wrist spinner. He's been the turning point.

    England will be desperately disappointed. It's a good wicket, maybe not a cracker like we expected, but it's definitely not a 200 all out wicket.

    It does feel like England are going to have to do something special in this session and tomorrow morning to restrict India's lead. They'll need to win sessions by small margins to get themselves back into the game.

    Well, when England won the toss at 3:30am it seemed like a very good one to win.

    But then Bumrah and Siraj got the ball zipping and swinging all over the place and we were praising Crawley and Duckett just for getting through it.

    But then it wasn't meant to spin, either - so naturally, the spinners took 10 wickets.

    Completely bizarre.

    Both Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin bowled nicely.

    India lost the toss, were asked to bowl first, and you expected the seamers to cause the damage.

    England's total feels sub-par.

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 57.4 overs

    Anderson c Padikkal b Ashwin 0 (Eng 218)

    There's no mistaking that one.

    Not keen on hanging around, Anderson sweeps firmly but straight into the hands of debutant Devdutt Padikkal at mid-wicket.

    In his 100th Test, Ashwin finishes with 4-51 but it's Kuldeep Yadav who leads India off the field with 5-72 to his name.

    Having won the toss and chosen to bat, England are all out for 218.
