IND vs ENG 1st Test Live: Sai Sudharsan Out for Duck on Debut, England Take Two Quick Wickets Before Lunch

IND vs ENG 1st Test Live: Not how you want to get out on debut! That's so frustrating for Sai Sudharsan, following all the took and attention given over the past few months. It is an innocuous delivery down leg from Stokes, but it is also the intention with leg slip in place. Sudharsan can only take the edge and Jamie Smith takes a good catch down the leg side.

From 91-0 to 92-2, England fight back right before lunch. You have to say still India's session — but England have provided themselves with plenty of energy.

Shubman Gill will be happy he's only walking in at the start of the second session, but he will also be the new man coming in against England with their tails up and with the session break having provided some relief. He will need to be thoughtful in what is one of the historic of batting positions — but equally, his two openers have put him in a solid position to turn his innings into a big score.

In his first match at number four, a role that he will play a crucial role.

Finally, England were able to have some success immediately before the lunch break, managing to get KL Rahul to edge behind for 42, thus opening up a 91-run opening partnership. Then it was the debut of Sai Sudharsan, which he would like to forget, Ben Stokes took the catch down leg side.
