Not sure how many people there are on Earth?,but I doubt if anyone seen that coming at the start of the test ....India all out for 78..!! ...England have a great chance now to push on and get a good solid lead and square the series,,,,England now 21 for 0 K.R.O. What a day for England... ....120 for 0 ..both Burns and Hameed topped 50 .it takes a bit of believing .... ...but there you are ..!! K.R.O.

Its slow and steady for India despite old 'Bumble' on Sky suggesting India 'could win the test'' ...not scoring at just over two an over they won't... ...73 for 1 off 31 overs.. K.R.O.

England wrap up the victory as most would have expected by an innings and 76 runs ,though I was bit surprised it was finished before lunch....so lets carry on the good work next week lads ..!! K.R.O.

Joe Root won the toss it was overcast and put them in all out 191 , Kohli a gritty 50 but then the number 8 batsman Thakum went into frantic one day mode and smashed 57 off just 36 balls..!! ..frustrating for England or what .?? it was the fastest ever 50 in a test match there beating Botham's 50 from the 1980's by one ball ..England started off a bit shaky ..Burns went for 5 , Hameed for a 'duck ' 10 for 2 into tHe last session now. K.R.O.

K.R.O. England finished 53 for 3 ...England shaded the first day ,,though it could have better ,we dropped the 'odd catch' here and there and late on India grabbed the wicket of Root , but if England push on tomorrow can they get around 100 lead..?? K.R.O.

First session ebbed and flowed India of to good start but then Bairstow and Pope got it together and took the bowlers on 139 for 5, Bairstow 34 Pope 38 ,maybe the 100 lead does look a shade optimistic ?, but hopefully they can push on and close the gap after lunch, should be an interesting second session anyway ! K.R.O.

Not quite a 100 lead ,,,just one off .. ..cracking innings from Pope, 81 and what a return to the test arena for Woakes... ...excellent bowling and a gutsy 'go at 'em' 50 batting performance ..!! England now need to push home their advantage,,! K.R.O.

The match appears finely balanced India 56 behind with all the wickets standing, so if we can make inroads and grab a few wickets first session we could be in the driving seat ..?? K.R.O.

A few overs missed at the end due to bad light but India's day 270 for 3 a lead of 171, England really need to get amongst the wickets in the morning or they could be facing a 300 + target to win this one.? K.R.O.

K.R.O. Not a bad session for England India 329 for 6 a lead of 230 ,need to wrap these last four wickets up before tea, and we hope that Burns and Hameed don't flop again with the bat ,,,half a century apiece would do nicely for a start .!! K.R.O.
