What a start! Lose the toss. India 0-1. Olly Sone gets the dangerous Gill lbw offering no shot.

Need to stop them getting a big first innings score, this pitch will be a minefield by day 4 and heaven help us batting last.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

You only want to bat once on this pitch, batting on day 4/5 is going to be like batting on a day 6/7 pitch. It’s already exploding in places.

Stone reminds me a bit of Pat Cummins, he is genuinely quick and is an awkward hight he doesn’t let you get forward to punch it through the covers.

Kohli bowled for 0 by Moeen! What an absolute jaffa. Kohli totally bewildered and didn't believe he was out.

Only Kohli could get a clean bowled decision sent to the third umpire. All the more satisfying given that Kohli’s IPL team, Bangalore, dropped Moeen for this years IPL.

Love watching Olly Stone bowl.

Good morning for England. Rohit has looked a class apart from the rest of the Indian batting line up. Stone has been brilliant with line and length and getting much more pace out of the pitch than Broad. Stokes looked very innocuous and bowled way too short.

Usual combo of pies and snorters from Moeen. Leach looks steady. Crucial afternoon coming up. We really need to keep India under 300 first innings as this pitch is not going to get better. India's spin selection a massive improvement on the last game.

Absolutely agree, 300 would be a good score. Rohit showing the England batsmen how to play on this pitch and I have a feeling Pant will play in the same manner.

Interesting to see which way this goes - not sure England have enough control / threat with the old ball with that bowling line-up - must have been tempting to go with Anderson again.

Nice score to wake up to. Still a lot of batting in this Indian side.

And absolutely lovely to see fans in the ground, sport is so much better for that.

The ball is turning a lot already. Definitely need to keep them under 300 and then hope a couple of our batsmen can go big and get us a handy lead. Going to be very tough to win this test, even with getting them 3 down relatively cheaply. We could do with a couple of quick wickets.

Rohit is batting on a different pitch to everyone else.

Stone is a genuine fast bowler, it could be fun watching him and Joffra come in on a quick Manchester track or in Perth!

Seems to be getting easier for the batsmen as the ball softens. No reverse swing yet.

Heck of a knock this from Rohit. Setting up the game for India here singlehanded.

Don’t fancy batting on this second, let alone fourth!

Not so good a session. Rohit looks in complete control. Moeen unfortunately, is still far too easy to score off and not looking an upgrade on Bess. India look on for 400 plus here and as already alluded to, batting even 2nd on here looks a challenge.

Yeah, we’ll have to go some on this pitch to get near their first innings.

Very good partnership for India this one, not much happening for England at the moment so it could be match-defining.

The use of the third umpire in this match is abysmal, there’s two really poor decisions in a few minutes. I can accept the benefit of the doubt with the stumping but to not review the part of the action that England actually reviewed is inexplicable.

That helps, 249/5.
