India vs England Highlights 5th Test Day 1: Rishabh Pant's magnificent century powers IND to 338/7 at Edgbaston

James Anderson will be licking his lips under these conditions and a riveting 'Kohli vs Anderson' battle is on the cards. Edgbaston can dry up fast despite the showers and we hope the play gets resumed as soon as possible. It has stopped raining and there's a pitch inspection at 5:45pm IST. Stay tuned for Live updates!

The rain seems to have cleared up and covers are being taken off. The super-soppers are cleaning the outfield at Edgbaston. Hopefully, the play will resume after the delayed lunch break. But it's still dark. Stay tuned for Live updates!

Pujara, who returned to the Test fold after a stellar county spell with Sussex, looked his usual self. Like Gill, Pujara also hit a couple of boundaries before Anderson forced him to play an awkward defensive stroke.

Crawley plucked another catch in the slip cordon. Pujara scored 13 off 26 balls.

Pujara and Gill were watchful for the first couple of overs before the latter produced a few boundaries. Gill hit four boundaries but jabbed at an Anderson delivery which was pitched outside the off stump. 

From the commentary box, former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that the youngster could have taken his time in the middle. Zak Crawley took a regulation catch in the slip cordon as Gill fell for just 17.

It continues to drizzle and the covers are still on. We will get an idea about the restart after 30 minutes of lunch interval.

Anderson ended first session with figures of 8-2-15-2, with Virat Kohli (1 not out) and Hanuma Vihari (unbeaten 14) looking to bail the Indian team out of a precarious situation. 

The spotlight will be on Kohli, who battles a lean patch that has led to his international century drought. Stay tuned for Live updates!

Cheteshwar Pujara has four single-digit first innings scores in the ongoing series. No prizes for guessing who is behind these lowly scores! Anderson ageing like fine wine.

England will be happy with the performance. The makeshift opening pair Pujara and Gill got off to a brisk start before Anderson picked up his first wicket. He generated extra bounce against Gill, who nicked it to Crawley at second slip. 

Anderson struck again to remove Pujara in a similar fashion. The seasoned batter went for a forward push but edged to Crawley. The 'pie' has gone England's way. Textbook Jimmy Anderson on display!

IND 53-2

Lunch has been taken as it continues to drizzle at Edgbaston.

McCullum was spotted applauding his team from the balcony. Anderson would be happy with his performance, having inflicted early blows. The rain interruption can also lead to early lunch... stay tuned for further updates!

The big hover cover is being dragged on to the field as players make their way out. The drizzle has gotten heavier.

Solid defence from Kohli, who is standing out of his crease. He negates the movement with a forward block and then takes a quick single on the next delivery.

IND 53-2

The big battle every fan has been waiting for! It's Anderson vs Kohli! 

Kohli is happy to leave the first four deliveries. Little bit of movement from Anderson and Kohli lets it pass. It's quite overcast at the moment.

Anderson forced Pujara to play it and the forward defence led to an edge. The Indian has now been dismissed by Anderson on 12 occasions. Virat Kohli joins Vihari in the middle.

IND 46-2

WICKET! Another one for James Anderson! He generates extra bounce to outfox Pujara, who nicks it to Crawley in the slips.

IND 46-2

Edged!!! But Zak Crawley drops it in the slips. The ball took the outside edge before flying to the slips. Crawley tried to pluck it with his right hand but was a bit late to react. Vihari survives!!!

IND 45-1

Potts finishes with a dot. Vihari is happy to leave the delivery that was outside the off stump. End of 15th over and James Anderson is back into the attack.

IND 43-1

England feel there's a little inside edge... and up goes the finger! But Pujara has reviewed it straightaway. UltraEdge shows a spike when it touched the Indian's thigh pad. Aleem Dar has to reverse his decision!

IND 43-1

Just two off Potts' over and Pujara-Vihari pair keeps moving the scoreboard slowly but steadily. Also, Anderson has touched 100 Test wickets against India on home soil. He is leading the panel with 100 plucks, followed by Harbhajan Singh (86 wickets against Australia) and Stuart Broad (84 wickets against Australia).

Just one wicket gone in the first hour. 13 overs bowled by England.

IND 38-1

Direct hit and Pujara was gone!!! Vihari nudged it towards mid-on and ran for a single. A quick call from Vihari and there was a bit of hesitation from Pujara, who eventually dived at the keeper's end.

IND 36-1

Good punch off the backfoot and Vihari takes an easy two. Fresh from the New Zealand series, Potts claimed 14 wickets in three Tests.

IND 33-1

End of the tenth over and England have made a bowling change. Matthew Potts, 23, replaces Anderson.

IND 31-1

Just a single off Anderson's over. Pujara nudges it gently at backward point for a single. Both Pujara and Vihari are taking time to settle. Coming at the top in place of Rohit, Pujara has a big task at hand.

IND 31-1

That's a beauty from Broad. It had bounce and got little bit of movement as well. The Englishman targets the fourth stump line to beat Vihari, who is finding his feet on the surface.

IND 30-1

Hanuma Vihari is the next man in and he faces Anderson's nip-backer on his first two deliveries. He drives the third ball in the cover region and gets off the mark with a couple of runs. 

Three runs off Anderson's over but the Englishman has got the prized wicket of Gill, who looked in control with his eye-catching strokes.

IND 29-1
