13:03 Local Time, 12:03 GMT, 17:33 IST: India won't be too unhappy with the morning they've had after being put into bat. They were tested by the brilliant Chris Woakes with the new ball as he bounced back from disappointing outing in Leeds with a very probing spell where he asked a lot of questions. Probably was a little unlucky to get just the one wicket. One he was taken off though, the pressure was released as the follow-up bowlers weren't upto the mark. Josh Tongue leaked runs at seven an over and Jaiswal and Karun Nair moved along briskly for the second wicket, with the former notching up yet another fifty. However, before the visitors could claim the session, Brydon Carse turned up with a snorter to send Nair back. The pitch has a little bit in it for the seamers, nothing too extravagant, and there hasn't been much swing. Should be easier to bat on as the ball gets older. Back shortly...
Welcome back.
