20:56 hrs IST

Half-chance

Moeen Ali almost broke this partnership in his first over of the day itself as he produced an edge off the bat of Rahul but Cook, who was fielding at forward short leg, failed to grab the ball as it was travelling very fast. Close shave for the India opener on the penultimate ball of the 16th over.

20:03 hrs IST

Bowling change

19:57 hrs IST

Bowling change

Sam Curran is now being introduced into the attack for the first today. He has shown in this series that he is more than capable of picking wickets so the Indian batsmen will have to be careful of the left-arm medium pacer.

19:52 hrs IST

India moving along nicely

Both Pujara and Rahul seem to be settled in the middle now and they are playing each delivery as per their merit. While Pujara has so far opted to just defend and gather runs from wherever he can, Rahul on the other hand looks very confident and playing shots at will.

19:42 hrs IST

Patient Pujara

Cheteshwar Pujara is once again holding the innings from one end and that is giving KL Rahul the option to hit few shots from the other end. This time, Stokes bowls full and a bit wide and the Rahul drives the ball through the covers for a boundary. These two are batting well at the moment and taking India’s score closer to fifty.

19:33 hrs IST

Rahul on the attack

KL Rahul seems to be going with the logic that attack is the best form of defense. This time, Stokes bowls a bit short and the right hander plays the pull shot with great elan to get a boundary towards square leg. Third boundary of the innings for the India opener.

19:25 hrs IST

Partnership

19:15 hrs IST

Bowling change

Ben Stokes was introduced into the attack in place of James Anderson and he was welcomed by Rahul with a shot over the covers for a boundary. Then, Rahul went for single the next ball but lost his shoe in the process. Stokes was kind enough to help Rahul get his show back on. A very eventful over from the England all-rounder.

19:10 hrs IST

Dhawan was few seconds too late

When he was given out by the on-field umpire, Dhawan went up towards partner Rahul to discuss his dismissal in order to call for DRS. However, it turned out that when they were ready to ask for the review, he was told that the time (15 seconds) to do so had elapsed.

19:05 hrs IST

Another Pujara masterclass needed

Once again, Cheteshwar Pujara jas been called out in the middle very early in the innings. India will once again need their main man to hold the innings from one end. KL Rahul will also need to show some patience in the middle and stitch together a good partnership with Pujara. And just as we were talking about Rahul’s restraint, he slashes hard at a delivery from Anderson and gets a four towards third man.

18:58 hrs IST

Dhawan dismissed

Stuart Broad has struck on the first ball that he bowls in this match he gets rid of Shikhar Dhawan for 3. Dhawan missed the trajectory of the in-swinging delivery and the ball crashes into his pads.

18:36 hrs IST

Sixes galore

Jos Buttler is running out of partners and that is why he has decided to take the attack to the Indian bowlers. The right-hander slams two huge sixes off the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah to enter into 80s. Meanwhile, skipper Virat Kohli is back on the field.

The difference between two teams

17:21 hrs IST

Runs...runs...and more runs!

It has to be said that the Indian bowlers have been guilty of leaking runs today. This time, Broad slashes hard at the ball and it goes for a boundary over slip cordon. The hosts are just few runs away from the magical mark of 300.

17:13 hrs IST

Unlucky Shami

Like Day 1, Mohammed Shami has bowled well today as well but he hasn’t been rewarded for it so far. The India pacer has managed to beat the outside edge of Buttler many a times today but to no avail. Shami bowled exceedingly well yesterday but remained wicket-less and the second day is not looking better either for the seamer.

17:03 hrs IST

Fifty for Buttler

Jos Buttler has played a gem of an innings so far as he completes his well-deserved half-century. Buttler has so far hit five boundaries and he has batted really well with the tail. England’s total keep of increasing and edging closer to 300.

16:52 hrs IST

Glorious on-drive

From around the wicket, Mohammed Shami came charging in and bowled a bit full to Stuart Broad. The southpaw got into position early and played the perfect on-drive for a boundary, much to the delight of home support. The partnership between these two is worth 49 now.

16:43 hrs IST

England cross 250

Spin has been introduced into the attack now by skipper Virat Kohli as Ravindra Jadeja replaces Jasprit Bumrah. It was expensive first over from Jadeja as he conceded eight runs from it. Buttler hit his third boundary of the innings on the penultimate ball of the over and with that, hosts have crossed the 250-run mark.

16:36 hrs IST

Partnership

Virat Kohli must be scratching his head as how England manage to find players who stitch crucial partnership down the order. The partnership between Buttler and Broad is worth 29 (35 balls) and they are adding precious runs to England’s first innings total.

16:27 hrs IST

Bowling change

Mohammed Shami comes into the attack and he replaces Ishant Sharma. He gives away just three runs from his first over of the day but the highlight was the fourth delivery — the ball pitched at off stump and moved away from the batsman. Buttler tried to hit the ball through the covers but the ball missed the edge of the bat by just a whisker.

16:20 hrs IST

Unnecessary boundaries

Virat Kohli won’t be a happy man right now as Indian bowlers have conceding a couple of unnecessary boundaries. First, Ishant bowled a length ball outside off and Stuart Broad hit it for a boundary towards covers.

16:10 hrs IST

Rashid dismissed

Jasprit Bumrah has finally broken the partnership as he gets rid of Adil Rashid. Bumrah trapped Rashid on the pads and the umpire gave him out.

16:00 hrs IST

Third boundary for Rashid

Jasprit Bumrah bowls on to the pads of Adil Rashid and the right-hander flicks the ball for a boundary towards mid-wicket. This is the second four that Rashid has hit off Bumrah today and he has three boundaries to his name in total.

15:54 hrs IST

Good bowling

Indian bowlers have bowled a tight line and length in the first few overs of the day with Ishant Shama and Jasprit Bumrah keeping the flow of runs under check. Although, there haven’t been any proper wicket-taking deliveries worth mentioning from either of the two pacers, they are not letting the two batsmen settle down either.

15:46 hrs IST

Another maiden

Ishant Sharma is bowling well at the moment as he bowls two maiden overs on the trot. After bowling a maiden over to Buttler, Ishant follows it up with bowling six dot balls to Rashid. Good start to the day for the Indian pacer.

15:37 hrs IST

200 up for England

Jasprit Bumrah bowls a juicy half-volley outside the off-stump and Adil Rashid obliges by hitting the ball through the covers for a boundary. With that, England also cross the 200-run mark in their first innings.

Jos Buttler is taking strike and Ishant Sharma will bowl the first ball of the day. The visitors will look to bundle out hosts as soon as possible.

15:12 hrs IST

Jadeja on India’s bowling

“It’s difficult when you’re not getting any help from the wicket on Day 1. The ball you’re actually trying to bowl...it’s not coming out that way. I was just thinking that Shami, Ishant and Bumrah were bowling well from the other end. They were beating the bat non-stop. I was just thinking that I shouldn’t concede boundaries because if that pressure is released at one end, it becomes easy for the batsmen. We didn’t get any wickets in the second session but we didn’t concede many runs either (55 runs between lunch and tea). We came back well. Everyone did their job in the bowling department,” Jadeja said after first day’s play.

14:56 hrs IST

Sourav Ganguly not very happy

Calling his comments as immature, former India captain Sourav Ganguly hit out at head coach Ravi Shastri for comparing Indian teams of different eras, on Friday.

14:19 hrs IST

Indian bowlers impress Moeen

Moeen Ali was promoted to the number 3 slot and he got to a nervy fifty after having been beaten a number of times. You’re always hoping to let them bowl and bowl. But they just kept coming, bowling same pace, same areas. It was one of the best bowling attacks I’ve faced. They were just always, consistently there,” he said in praise of India’s attack after England went from 133/1 to 198/7 in the evening session.

14:08 hrs IST

Cook on first day’s play

“I thought the way the Indians bowled was fantastic,” Cook told Sky Sports. “I think I played one cut and one pull shot all day. A lot of credit to them. It was an unbelievable spell (from Shami). I was facing Jadeja at the other end and quite happy. We found it hard to know which way it was going. One thing Mo (Moeen Ali) did pretty well, yes he was playing and missing, but he wasn’t curtain-railing as much, he was playing the line.”

13:58 hrs IST

3 wickets remaining for England

India have struggled to get rid of the tail in the series and this has proved to be costly. This is where Virat Kohli needs to go in for the kill with the second new ball early on day 2. Jos Buttler holds the key for England and he has Adil Rashid for company who is no rabbit with the bat.
