England vs India, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Josh Tongue to Prasidh, out Bowled!! The leg-stump has gone for a walk. Josh Tongue fist-pumps in delight. That's the end of the innings as well. There's rain in the air as well. The Hover-cover is coming on. Full and curving back into the leg-stump, Prasidh makes room and drives, looks to go hard, misses and the leg-stump has taken a beating. Four for Josh Tongue and India have been bowled out for 471. Prasidh b Josh Tongue 1(3)

Josh Tongue to Jadeja, out Bowled!! Dragged back on. India continue to lose wickets. It's a sharp back of a length delivery and it cuts back in to middle, Jadeja tries to cut late and the thick inside-edge is found and goes back on to leg-stump. There was no room and Jadeja made the error of cutting a ball that was heading to the stumps. Third for the impressive Josh Tongue. Jadeja b Josh Tongue 11(15) [4s-2]

Brydon Carse to Jadeja, FOUR, now Jadeja will play his shots. He comes down the track and takes it on the half-volley, lofts cleanly and easily clears mid-on, one bounce over the ropes

Josh Tongue to Jadeja, FOUR, a misfield from Carse at deep square leg. A short delivery on the stumps, Jadeja pulls hard and Carse was going to his left, fumbles and allows the ball to run away to the fence

Josh Tongue to Bumrah, out Caught by Brook!! Edged and gone. Full and swinging away from outside off, Bumrah gets forward to drive and the thick outside edge flies at a comfortable height to 2nd slip where Brook takes an easy catch. Generally Bumrah plays with an open face and that proved to be his undoing. England continue their good work from the morning. Bumrah c Brook b Josh Tongue 0(5)

Josh Tongue to Bumrah, leg byes, FOUR, full and sliding down leg, Bumrah flicks and misses, off the pad and beats the diving Pope at legslip and runs away

Stokes to Thakur, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Edged and gone! The England captain is on fire and making the ball move places. Nice outie outside off stump, Shardul had a full go at the drive. Wasn't as full so it found the outside edge for Smith to take an easy catch to the right. Number four for Stokes. Thakur c Jamie Smith b Stokes 1(8)

Josh Tongue to Pant, out Lbw!! Brainfade to end a fantastic innings. Josh Tongue got it to curve back in late and quite sharply. He was troubling Pant with inswing from round the wicket since last over. Pant thought this wouldn't come straight at him and offered no shot. But it wasn't as wide or as short for the ball to escape the stumps or his body. Swung back in nicely from good length, hit him just around the kneeroll and that would have smashed middle and leg. DRS says the same and Pant takes the review with him. But he walks off to a great ovation after another sensational innings. Pant lbw b Josh Tongue 134(178) [4s-12 6s-6]

Josh Tongue to Pant, 1 run, he loses his shoe while taking off for a single. Short of a length delivery, Pant pushes it to point for an easy single. The shoe stayed on the batting crease as he completed the run

Stokes to Karun Nair, out Caught by Pope!! In the airrrr and a stunner from Pope at short cover. This ball was flying but he dived full length to his left and took with both hands overhead. He was almost horizontal to the ground when he caught the ball. Slight bit of tentativeness costing Karun his wicket. This was a full outswinger wide of off stump. The drive was on but the problem was Karun wasn't fully onto that shot. Had he played normally he would have cleared the infield. Like Sai, it's a 4-ball nought for Karun on return to Test cricket. Karun Nair c Pope b Stokes 0(4)

Stokes to Pant, FOUR, pull shot in the gap! Shortish delivery on the stumps, Pant gets in line, swivels and pulls nicely just in front of square and the fielder gave up early as he had no chance

Bashir to Pant, no run, oh what have you done, Jamie Smith? Pant was out of his crease, lost his bat but Smith doesn't collect. Easy stumping chance fumbled. Pant ran down the pitch for a muscular hit, missed the ball as it spun. Swung so hard that the bat flew towards short fine leg. The ball bounced a fair bit so the keeper had to gather close to his left chest but he in a hurry to gather and bring the hands down quickly. In the process didn't even collect

Bashir to Pant, SIX, fasten your belts folks, Pant is in the zone for fun! Flighted delivery on the stumps, Pant went down on one knee and smashed the slog-sweep over square for handsome hit

Stokes to Pant, FOUR, get out of my sight shot from Pant! Stokes is getting outswing so he tried a fullie but it was slightly overpitched and lit up Pant's eyes, who seized the chance to drill a hard drive to the left of mid-off

Bashir to Gill, out Caught by Josh Tongue at deep square leg!! He wanted to get his 150 in style but he's dragged this big hit squarer than intended and it's taken at deep square leg. Headingley rises to its feet to give a great ovation as Gill walks off with a raised bat. Photographers gather near the boundary to capture the Indian captain heading off after a great innings. This was a flighted delivery, Gill stepped out got big slog-flick as mid-wicket was open in the deep. But the ball went off the inner half of the bat and flew straight to deep square leg. A great innings on captaincy debut for Shubman Gill. Bashir breaks the 209-run stand. Gill c Josh Tongue b Bashir 147(227) [4s-19 6s-1]

Bashir to Pant, SIX, a teaser for the fielder but it's gone over! Tossed up full on middle, Pant stepped out and went downtown, didn't quite get hold of it and it went high off the toe end, Carse started spriting right back and it just went over his head and his outstretched arms before landing on the advertising triangle. That brings up the 200-run stand between these two

Bashir to Pant, SIX, a one-handed six to get his 7th Test hundred. Rishabh Pant woke up against RCB late in the IPL and he's carried on here as well. Back-to-back Test hundreds in England. This is his format. Generally takes the pitch and opposition out of the equation with his fearless batting. He has been India's crisis man for a while now and he's made use of great batting conditions here. And he takes the helmet off, raises the bat to acknowledge the applause, drops the bat and does his somersault celebration. That is his signature celebration now. The vice-captain gets a warm hug from his captain. Was a flighted delivery from Bashir, Pant stepped out, didn't bother about going two-handed, just swung through the line and cleared mid-wicket

Stokes to Gill, FOUR, that was regal! Gill hasn't spared anything that's been loose and this was loose, pitched up full just outside off, Gill prod forward and creamed it through extra cover, sublime timing once more

Bashir to Pant, SIX, that's one way to get into the 90s! Fraction short on middle-leg, Pant goes deep in his crease before mowing it over deep mid-wicket, that went 20 rows back! He's put the spinner under pressure straightaway

Bashir to Pant, FOUR, Bashir is greeted by a Pant special! Flat and on a length on off-stump, Pant shuffles across and tumbles as he paddles it over the man at leg-side, the tumbling paddle that only he plays

Brydon Carse to Pant, FOUR, he's smacked that! Dug in short on middle-leg, Pant steps out and heaves it away towards deep square leg, Brydon Carse saw him coming and dropped it short but Pant went through with the shot anyway, fast hands

Woakes to Gill, FOUR, this time he gets it away! Gill had been eyeing that vacant third man region for a while now, short of length and outside off, bit more width on offer this time and Gill just used the pace to dab it into the gap, as easy as you like

Brydon Carse to Pant, FOUR, nicely played! The runs are flowing easily for Pant this morning, length delivery slanting across outside off, Pant hung back and just opened the face of the bat to steer it into the gap at gully

Brydon Carse to Pant, FOUR, freebies for Pant! Banged in short and down leg, Pant shuffled inside the line and just helped it on its way with a pull, just had to get it to the right of Jamie Smith and it was always going to be four

Woakes to Shubman Gill, FOUR, Shubman Gill is underway on Day 2 with an absolutely glorious stroke! Overpitched on off-stump, juicy half-volley and Shubman Gill got forward and creamed it through mid-off, just beat Stokes to his right and it raced away. Career best score for Gill in Tests

Woakes to Pant, SIX, what a man Pant is! Last over of the day, there's a deep square-leg in place, he doesn't think about all that. He wants to hit this and smokes it for six. He comes down the track and takes the length delivery on the stumps, swings it and the ball flies over deep square-leg's head as he backtracked, Woakes can't quite believe it as does Stokes, both can only smile

Brydon Carse to Pant, FOUR, just over 10 minutes for stumps but Pant doesn't care a jot. He comes down the track and takes the length delivery from the stumps, lofts and it's nearly six to the wide long-on fence, that's Pant at his very best and at his audacious best too

Brydon Carse to Shubman Gill, FOUR, no third man. But width outside off, the length delivery outside off, shapes away, Shubman Gill reaches for it and cuts, the thick top-edge flies over gully and deep point is too far and wide of the ball, Gill gets another four

Woakes to Pant, FOUR, so ugly and it's an uglier way to get to a fifty but Pant won't care. Full on middle, Pant sinks low to slogsweep, right off the toe-end and it runs wide of the diving mid-on to his right, looks like he wants to take the new-ball head-on

Josh Tongue to Shubman Gill, FOUR, the off-side field is open and Shubman Gill takes advantage of that. It's a length delivery outside the leg-stump, Gill backs away and cuts through the cover-point area, runs away for four

Josh Tongue to Shubman Gill, 1 run, that's well outside the leg-stump, Shubman Gill moves away there, it's short of length and he pulls down, more of a short-arm jab, gets it down to deep mid-wicket

Bashir to Pant, leg byes, FOUR, fired down leg, Pant paddles and misses, off the pads, and deflects fine, beats short fine to his left, given as legbyes

Josh Tongue to Shubman Gill, SIX, interesting if Bashir at fine-leg was right on the cushions. He was in a few metres from the fence, and the top-edge flies over him as he backtracks. It's a short delivery on the stumps, Shubman Gill short-arm jabs the pull and the top-edge sails away, for a moment Gill would have been worried

Josh Tongue to Shubman Gill, FOUR, 100 on Test captaincy debut for Shubman Gill. Joins an elite list of Indians which has Gavaskar, Kohli, Hazare and Vengsarkar in doing so. Look at the reaction from him, he removes his helmet and waves it fiercely in the air and mouths a "come on" which shows how much he wanted this. One of his best innings in this format. He has been almost near-flawless. Gets there with a cracking boundary to a half-volley outside off, gets forward and times the drive through cover-point, races away and soon as he saw the ball go to the fence, out came the aggressive celebration. Folks - the Shubman Gill era in Tests has officially begun with a bang. More reactions from Gill show he hugged Pant and then stretched his arms wide to celebrate in front of the Indian contingent. From the moment he started off today, he has not put a foot wrong, such assuredness and such composure. What a way to make a statement in your debut innings as Test captain in such a high-profile series. Certainly sets the tone from his side's point of view

Bashir to Pant, SIX, he is not to the pitch of the ball, but such is the power behind the shot, he comes down the track and hoists the loft straight down the ground, flies over the sightscreen

Bashir to Pant, FOUR, nice paddle. It's tossed up on middle, Pant paddles and it's a deft shot, runs away for four to the fine-leg fence

Josh Tongue to Shubman Gill, FOUR, airy-fairy but four as there's no gully or backward point. Full outside off, Shubman Gill throws the bat on the drive, skews it off the thick outside-edge, was at a catching height too, flies away to the deep backward point fence, the fielder did not get there in time

Bashir to Pant, FOUR, dragged down on off and middle, Pant goes on the back foot and pulls, wide of mid-wicket and it's into the gap, also Pant did not hit that off the middle, but it doesn't matter

Woakes to Pant, FOUR, soft outside-edge and four. Wide of Brook at a wide slip. On a length outside off, Pant tries to run it down and the outside-edge went down, slightly open face too

Woakes to Shubman Gill, FOUR, width outside off stump and cut away in front of square. Deep backward point couldn't cutting off running to the right

Stokes to Shubman Gill, FOUR, on the leg stump, Gill gets inside the line and glances fine. Fine leg not in the picture and Gill goes into the 80s now

Bashir to Shubman Gill, FOUR, belted out of sight! Was on a matter of time before Gill lines up the offie. Flighted delivery, the idea was to deceive Gill in flight. Instead the batter delayed his bat swing and smashed it over mid-wicket

Stokes to Pant, FOUR, if Stokes is positive, Pant is ultra aggressive. Steps out of the crease and just smashes this length ball back over the bowler's head to get off the mark in style. Brings out a big laugh from Stokes and a friendly chat in the followthrough

Stokes to Jaiswal, out Bowled!! Oh he's knocked him over! Did him in with the angle and then away movement off the pitch. Top beat the bat of a batter who's made a hundred and hit the top of off stump has to be something exceptional. Length delivery from Stokes's cunning widish angle. Jaiswal tried the drive down the ground. Ball nipped away to beat the outside edge and hit timbaahh! Stokes has his arm up in celebration. His body language so upbeat as he walked in and he's led from the front very early in this session. Jaiswal raises the bat to the crowd and walks off. Jaiswal b Stokes 101(159) [4s-16 6s-1]

Bashir to Shubman Gill, FOUR, width to free the arms and the length is short as well. Gill rocks back and cuts nicely to beat the sweeper to the left

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, 1 run, there it is and boy doesn't he love it! Good length delivery on off-stump, Jaiswal hangs back and eases it towards point before setting off, he raises his arm and takes the helmet off before leaping in joy as he makes it through to the other end, lets out a big roar and punches the air in delight. There's a real sense of satisfaction on his face, he wanted this badly and you could see it in the celebration. He's sure making a happy habit of scoring centuries in the opening Test of a series. Remember, he got a big one in the first Test of the BGT last year. He's a fighter, a warrior in who's ethos 'giving up' does not exist! No pain nor pressure can faze him, he's here to conquer!

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, he's in a hurry now, on to 99! Pitched up full and outside off, Jaiswal presses right forward and drives it away firmly through the covers, leans right into it and gets it past Stokes at cover

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, you can't bowl there to Jaiswal! He'll feast on them all day, cramp or not, short and wide outside off, Jaiswal slashes it away with purpose through backward point, there's a big hundred drawing ever closer

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, crunched! Length delivery slanting across outside off, just a fraction short and wide and Jaiswal doesn't need second invitations to dispatch this to the point fence with a fierce cut, he's into the 90s now!

Bashir to Jaiswal, FOUR, lovely shot! Tossed up full on off-stump, Jaiswal gets forward and right to the pitch before lofting it straight back over the bowler's head, that's the 100-run stand between these two

Josh Tongue to Shubman Gill, FOUR, through the gap! Dug in short on off-stump, Shubman Gill isn't going to shy away from taking the short ball on, he gets on top of the bounce and thumps it through the gap at mid-wicket, fifty for Shubman Gill on captaincy debut! He's stepped up to the occasion and how!

Bashir to Shubman Gill, FOUR, fast outfield and it beats the man in pursuit! Flighted delivery full outside off, Gill prods forward and opens the face of the bat to squeeze it away through backward point, Tongue gave chase and it kept gaining on him

Josh Tongue to Jaiswal, SIX, there's a deep point but Jaiswal doesn't mind that. He goes after this short and wide delivery outside off, reaches for it and carved it flat, was in the air but flies over the sweeper cover fence, great timing and it flies off the bat

Bashir to Jaiswal, FOUR, excellent use of the crease! Tossed up full and just outside off, Jaiswal was quick to rock back before scything it away hard through point, not a bad ball by any means and Jaiswal has put the bowler under pressure straightaway

Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, poor delivery and Jaiswal doesn't miss out. Rocks back to this back of a length delivery outside off, the width is there, cuts it hard and through the vacant point region, there's backward point but this is into the point region, third boundary of the over

Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, Jaiswal is putting the bad balls away. A short of length delivery outside off, width and Jaiswal goes on the back foot and crashes the cut, wide of backward point and it again runs away on this fast outfield

Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, that's a long half-volley outside off, slanting away, Jaiswal gets forward and drives wide of cover, into the gap and it races away for four, played it down and did not try to hit it in the air

Woakes to Shubman Gill, FOUR, now he is showing off. This is a wide half-volley outside off, Shubman Gill reaches for it and gets to the pitch of the ball, drives well and beats Stokes' dive to his left at mid-off. Got it in the gap and despite the best efforts of Stokes, it raced away

Josh Tongue to Jaiswal, 1 run, 50 for Jaiswal. A short of length delivery on middle, Jaiswal nudges to the vacant mid-wicket area, raises the bat to acknowledge the applause. He has started the series well

Woakes to Shubman Gill, FOUR, phew! What a shot. Granted it's a half-volley on off, but look at that from Shubman Gill as he shows the full face of the bat after getting forward, drives the ball where it came back from, straight down the ground and he holds the pose too, certainly loved that, the shot of the day so far. The MRF sticker shining brighter than ever as he played that. Shades of two of the previous predecessors of the bat and the stroke on that glorious straight drive. Like Master, like King, like Prince

Woakes to Shubman Gill, FOUR, that's where he likes it. Full and sliding into the pads, that's Shubman Gill's area of strength, trademark flick and he sends the ball racing to the deep mid-wicket fence, again relied on timing and placement

Woakes to Shubman Gill, FOUR, that's a good shot. Gill is standing outside the crease and he moves further forward, turns the full delivery outside off into a half-volley, creamed with a full face and well wide of mid-off who is in that between position at cover and mid-off

Woakes to Shubman Gill, FOUR, thick outside-edge, soft hands and it doesn't carry to the slip cordon. Wide of the third slip. Length delivery just outside off, moving away, Shubman Gill guides it and keeps it down, no third man and four

Brydon Carse to Shubman Gill, FOUR, yorker length outside off, moves away, Shubman Gill moves towards it, squeezes it out through vacant cover-point, runs away to the fence, played that well and down, he is looking good already

Brydon Carse to Shubman Gill, 2 runs, short and wide outside off, moving away, Shubman Gill reaches for it and cuts through vacant cover for a couple, did not time it well, but still gets two

Brydon Carse to Shubman Gill, 5 runs, Pope misses a direct-hit and it would have been interesting with one. Would have been out despite a full-length dive, badly judged by Shubman Gill, he gets forward and pushes it to the left of mid-wicket, Pope gets across and cuts it off quickly, even Jaiswal was slow to start off and the throw could have gone to either end but Pope went to the non-striker's and missed, the throw is well wide of the fielder at mid-off and it runs away for four more. So a wicket-chance turns out to be 5

Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! He's been caught down leg. This is a brilliant plan from England. They had leg slip and kept bowling on the pads. Stokes added a leg gully as well before this ball. The plan was to make the batter doubt the flick/glance. Sai was very mindful of the men behind and curbed himself on the flick. The result is an edge for Smith to the right. Out for nought on debut. Sai Sudharsan c Jamie Smith b Stokes 0(4)

Brydon Carse to Rahul, out Caught by Root!! This time he couldn't resist and edges it to first slip. This is why they keep bowling full and wide in England. You've got to the risk the drive and bowl full, said Stuart Broad in his pitch report. That's exactly what Brydon Carse has done. Followed up a short ball with a wide and full outswinger. KL let it go. The next ball is again fuller and slightly closer. The outswing takes a thick edge and Root catches it nicely, around chest high and reverse-cup style moving to his right at first slip. All that classy batting, all that concentration goes to dust in a millisecond. That's Test cricket for you. KL walks off disappointed after a very good innings. Rahul c Root b Brydon Carse 42(78) [4s-8]

Stokes to Jaiswal, FOUR, and now the left-hander drives. He was so confident with that hit. Full ball, Jaiswal let it come and drove it with the full face of the bat through cover. In full control there

Brydon Carse to Rahul, FOUR, oh creamyyy! Brydon Carse tried to bring it back in, KL picked it up early and opened the bat face early to play it squarer through cover-point than cover and timed it sweetly

Stokes to Rahul, FOUR, Klassy from KL. If the straight angle wasn't good enough, the side angle. Oh beautiful. Bent knee, high elbow, front foot towards the pitch of the ball, free flow of the bat and the timing off the middle of the bat. This guy adds glamour to batting. Stokes tried the full ball again but KL was in full control

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, leg byes, FOUR, runs flowing suddenly. Full and swinging back in, Jaiswal tries to flick. England have a leg slip so this was a deliberate ball on the pads. Jaiswal goes for the tickle, misses and it goes past the keeper off the leg

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, another full toss, Jaiswal drives and this time goes almost through cover. Again not great timing but good enough as it went off the outer half of the bat through cover-point

Stokes to Rahul, FOUR, this edge is along the ground! Length slightly pulled back, still asking for the drive. KL goes for a firm cover-drive, thick edge rolls along the ground past gully

Stokes to Rahul, FOUR, edgeddd and over gully! Stokes hanging it full and wide of off stump. Too much width for KL to resist and sure the drive was on. KL went real hard knowing even if he edges, it's gonna fly over the cordon and it did

Josh Tongue to Rahul, 3 runs, nicely played again! Tongue isn't learning from his mistakes, overpitched on off-stump, Rahul gets forward and just pushes it gently through mid-off, this time Stokes will track it down but not before they get three

Josh Tongue to Rahul, FOUR, lovely shot! Josh Tongue has been a bit loose today, overpitched again on off-stump, Rahul prods forward and just pushes this gently through mid-off, nothing but an extension of the forward defence and it races down to the ropes, Stokes gave chase but had no hope

Woakes to Rahul, FOUR, dangles the carrot and Rahul absolutely munches it! Pitched up full and shaping away outside off, Rahul presses forward and into the drive, gets low and times the bones out of this as it screams through the covers on its way to the ropes

Josh Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, you'll get four for that everyday of the week! Pitched up full and just outside off, juicy half-volley again and Jaiswal meets it with a glorious straight-drive, picture-perfect as it runs down to the boundary

Josh Tongue to Jaiswal, no run, that's a dreadful review! Review lost! Tongue surprised him with the yorker here, right on the boot and Jaiswal was in a bit of a tangle looking to keep it out, had to clear his feet and it just beat the inside edge before hitting him on the ankle, always had to be doing a lot of it had to come back to hit the stumps and it wasn't, ball tracker confirms it was not only heading down leg but also pitching outside the line of leg stump

Woakes to Rahul, FOUR, that's a KL special! Overpitched and shaping away outside off, Rahul presses forward and leans into this drive, sublime time, hands through the ball and it was a drive you could frame and put up on your wall

Josh Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, and he follows it up with an absolute gem! Pitched right up on off-stump, in the slot and Jaiswal wasn't going to miss out, he pressed half-forward and creamed it straight back down the ground with the full face of the bat

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, that'll be four more! Good length delivery on off-stump, Jaiswal hangs back and fends with soft-hands, just opens the face of the bat a touch and it runs away past the slips

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, Jaiswal flashes and flashes hard! Pitched up full and wide outside off, Jaiswal threw his bat at it and had to reach out, managed to skew it through backward point off the outer half and it rushed to the ropes, was in the air but nowhere close to anybody

Brydon Carse to Rahul, FOUR, edged and four! Pitched up full and shaping away outside off, Rahul was drawn into it, he leant into a drive and the away movement meant it caught a thick outside edge, it flew up and into the gap at gully

Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, beautiful! That'll settle any nerves, pitched up full on off-stump, Jaiswal prods forward and drives it confidently through mid-off, right out of the middle of the bat and it races down to the ropes

Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, bat on ball for Jaiswal and it'll be a boundary to start with! Pitched up fuller and outside off, Jaiswal prod forward and defended with soft-hands, it hit the outer part of the blade and went through the gully region, no tracking that down
