That's all for today
A massively disappointing day for India but a massively impressive and successful day for England. The day began with James Anderson working his magic before Craig Overton and Sam Curran ran havoc through India's lower-middle order and tailenders to bundle out the hosts for 78.
Then, it was all Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed as the opening pair drove the hosts into the driver's seat.
Lots to look forward to tomorrow. We will be back tomorrow. Hope to see you there. Until then, it's goodnight. CIAO!

LUNCH
And that was the last ball of the session as the teams break for lunch. The first session belongs to the home team.
