ANOTHER BOUNDARY
FOUR! Overton trayed onto the pads and Rahane puts it away. The Mumbai batsman flicked the ball away easily to the fine leg fence.
IND 55/3 after 24 overs
Robinson brought back
Ollie Robinson replaces Sa, Curran and he is welcomed back with a lovely but tentative checked cover-drive from Rohit Sharma. He picks up a brace on the first ball of the over.
The fifth delivery was a good one from Robinson as it pitched on length and jagged back in sharply. There was a half-shout from the fielders.
IND 49/3 after 24 overs
ROOT WALKS OFF
Joe Root has walked off the field after being struck on the wrist. Rahane edged the ball but since he played it with soft hands, the ball didn't carry. Root bent to stop the ball but ended up hurting himself. Root should be back soon.
IND 47/3 after 23 overs.
FOUR FROM RAHANE
FOUR! Curran goes short and strays down the leg side. Rahane goes onto the back foot and helps the boundary to the long leg region for four. He is into the double figures now.
IND 48/3 after 22 overs.
And we have him there, almost on cue
So, just the two overs for Moeen Ali as Craig Overton is finally introduced into the attack.
He begins with a maiden
IND 40/3 after 21 overs.
No Craig Overton yet
No Craig Overton yet, who has been preferred over Saqib Mahmood
RISKY BUT FOUR
Ajinkya Rahane has his first boundary of the day. On the up, he rolls his wrist a delivery short and wide outside off to find the gap between gully and point for four. On another day, that could have easily clipped the outside edged and ballooned to the slip cordon.
IND 36/3 (18)
1 from Ali's first over.
Rahane punches through covers off the back foot for a single off the last ball of the over as Ali concedes just the solitary run in his first over.
IND 32/3(17)
Moeen Ali introduced
So, Joe Root has finally decided to give Anderson a bit of rest. Off-spinner Moeen Ali will now operate in place of Anderson.
India in deep trouble
APPEAL AND TURNED DOWN! Sam Curran's delivery jags back in sharply after pitching in the middle-line stump. The Englishmen go up but the umpire turns down the appeal.
IND 31/3 after 16 overs.
Anderson with another maiden
He's almost 40, is James Anderson, but the way he is bowling today, even Root is tempted to keep him going. He has now bowled eight in his first spell. Will he come back for a ninth?
Anderson's pep talk at drinks break
During the drinks break, James Anderson was seen giving a pep talk to the team. The advantage of having a senior player and one who is absolutely on song.
His seventh over yields four runs as India pick up another set of four leg-byes off Rohit Sharma's pads
THE FIRST HOUR TO ENGLAND
Without a shred of a doubt, the first hour of Day 1 of the third Test belongs to England, and in particular James Anderson. It has been a treat to watch the master at work and the way he has controlled his line and length is pure education.
3/6 (6)....Anderson's figures so far
FOUR! NO FUSS THERE...
NO NEED TO RUN! A half-volley from Curran. Sharma presents the full face of the bat with the drive. The ball fizzes past the mid-off fielder to the long-off boundary for his first boundary of the day.
After the first hour, players will now take drinks
Ajinkya Rahane walks in next
Rohit Sharma, who is currently batting on 4(37), has a new partner in Ajinkya Rahane.
What a start this has been for England. The uncertainty of the wobble-seam gets the better of another Indian batsman. Anderson pitches it on length and the ball nips away just that little bit. Kohli went for a checked drive with hard hands but could only manage to edge the ball to Buttler, who has now bagged his third catch.
OUT KOHLI FALLS TO ANDERSON
OUT! Virat Kohli edges the ball to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and James Anderson has picked up his third wicket of the innings. ENGLAND IN TOTAL COMMAND and isn't Anderson happy. Lets out a huge roar as Kohli departs for 7 off 17 balls.
IND 21/3 (10.5)
Sam Curran introduced
Root makes his first bowling change of the day. Sam Curran is introduced in place of Robinson.
BEATEN! Coming from over the wicket, he beats Rohit's outside edge. It nipped back in every so slightly after pithing but held its line. Beautiful!
Starts with a maiden
FOUR FROM KOHLI!
FOUR! First boundary of the day comes off Virat Kohli's bat as a thick inside edge runs down to the fine-leg boundary. Robinson's delivery swirled back in sharply and Kohli got his bat down just in the nick of time to nick the ball for four.
IND 17/2 (8)
James as his best so far
The sun is out and India are doing what they wanted to do after winning the toss but it is the home side which is currently in control, thanks to James Anderson's start. He has come in with clear plans and is executing them even better. He has not given any breathing space to the batsmen
Four leg-byes
Robinson strays down the leg side as the ball clips Rohit Sharma's pads before running down to the fine-leg boundary for 4.
IND 8/2 after 6 overs
Virat Kohli walks in next
Virat Kohli, the new man in, negotiates the first five deliveries.
THIS HAS BEEN A MASTERCLASS SO FAR FROM ANDERSON! He finishes the over with a massive round of applause.
IND 4/2 (5)
OUT
EDGED AND TAKE! GONE! Cheteshwar Pujara has nicked one to Jos Buttler. James Anderson has been so, so, so good today. The wide angle does the trick. After a flurry of inswingers, Anderson gets one to move away from the off-stump line. Just one of the those balls Pujara just had to play at. He is gone for 1.
IND 4/2 (4.1).
Pujara off the mark
Pujara, this time, needs only 8 balls to get off the mark as he picks a single in the fine leg area.
There was a massive LBW appeal by Robinson and Co. against Rohit on the last ball of the innings but the umpire turns it down. Root gave it a thought before deciding against using their first review.
IND 4/1 (4)
Anderson's first over
The first ball of the over was out-swinger on the length that Rohit Sharma bunted past point for a single.
The next three deliveries to Rahul were all nipping back in to the batsman from the back of length.
The fifth delivery, then, was an outswinger which was fuller in length. Anderson threw the bait and Rahul fell for it. Perhaps, it was his form that compelled him to go for the drive earlier on.
The sixth ball of the first over, first to Pujara, was a sharp inswinger.
A brilliant first over from England's all-time great. You don't often see him bringing the ball back into right-handers earlier on but now that we know, it was a great plan.
Robbinson from the other end
As expected, pacer Ollie Robinson is sharing the new ball with James Anderson.
He was impressive in the first but had a luke-warm second game.
