Crawley is very good on the front foot. India haven't adjusted their lengths - they need to drag it back.

Crawley 23, Bairstow 0
Has anyone told Zak Crawley this is Jasprit Bumrah, bowling for the best team in the world at the biggest stadium in the world?
Two more boundaries come to the Kent batsman - one through the off side and another through the leg.
He's rattling along like he's playing in a one-day game.

Youngest son just came in. "3-1 to England! That’s good, isn’t it?"

Crawley 15, Bairstow 0
Zak Crawley is the equivalent of a footballer who only scores worldies. He hit a stunning mid-wicket clip a couple of overs back and now him drives Ishant back down the ground to perfection. Virat watches on from slip and surely must be impressed.
Another boundary follows, again through mid-wicket, but this one was aerial.

Keeping will be interesting in this game. Pant upped his game last time, but he won't be used to the swing and the wobble. It's another chance for Foakes to stamp his authority.
I like it but I've failed the quiz already.

JChemistry: As set-ups go, I’m pretty pleased with this one.

Jonny Bairstow pokes awkwardly at the ball and Rishabh Pant spills the ball behind the stumps. The bowler, Bumrah, questions whether there was an edge and therefore a drop but replays suggest otherwise.
It was just the Lord's wobble. In Ahmedabad.

England's opening stand struggles continue. In eight Tests since the start of the Pakistan series last summer, they've had 13 opening stands, 154 total runs, average stand 11.8. They've lost the first wicket inside the first six overs 10 times, and only once reached 25 without loss.
I want to see pictures of everyone's working from home, home-schooling, cricket-watching set-ups. Maths done through cricket? Perfect.

Just heard my boss (morning Clive) is going for his jab, so I've got an hour for this to disappear off page one.
From Stewart, hard at work, honest
Shot! We have runs off the bat. Zak Crawley has creamed Bumrah through mid-wicket. A fine, fine shot.

This is a real challenge for Bairstow. The ball is swinging and he hasn't played a lot of cricket.
Harsh! His 87 in the first Test was impressive, wasn't it?
All of England's runs have been extras so far.

Sibley - plane - England.
Duncan from Hanham
He’s just not technically good enough. Even when he does well it’s unconvincing.
Edward Laslett
Jonny Bairstow is England's number three. He hasn't played since the Sri Lanka series and has been back home in the meantime. Much has been made of his playing of spin. Can he do it against India's quicks?

That's a classic fast bowler's dismissal. Outside off stump, bit of movement, Sibley feeling for it.
Sibley c Rohit b Ishant 0 (Eng 2-1)
Gone, gone, gone. England have lost their first wicket. If you forget the heat, crowd and stadium you could think this wicket had fallen in England. It's back of a length, a bit of movement and Sibley squirts an edge to second slip.
A big blow. The crowd is up.

Aren't these pink-ball matches brilliant? They are really interesting games of cricket. There can be cataclysmic collapses. The ball moves. Do you declare early?
England are away with a leg-bye off the pads of Crawley down to fine leg. It's a no-ball too. Ishant readjusts his impressive hair as he slumps back to his mark.
