After 44 overs,England 121/0 ( Rory Burns 53 , Haseeb Hameed 60)
Mohammed Shami to bowl in tandem with Ishant. He starts with a bouncer to Burns, round the wicket. The next two are fuller in length. Nice lines throughout from Shami, he is looking to attack the stumps. He starts off with a maiden.

After 43 overs,England 121/0 ( Rory Burns 53 , Haseeb Hameed 60)
Ishant Sharma strays down the leg stump line at the start and Burns tucks it away to fine leg for a single. Goes too wide against Hameed. Kohli walks up to him and asks him to bowl little straight. The fourth ball he gets the line right, around the fourth stump and came in, beat Hameed all ends up. He started badly but improved as the over progressed. Looks in rhythm.

"We have made a conscious effort of trying to just focus on us, on what we do well and try and ignore everything else..."
From getting bounced out by Jasprit Bumrah at Lord's, James Anderson bounced back at Headingley and how? The senior pacer said it was all about putting on the blinders and shutting out all the noise after the defeat in the second Test that helped him run through the Indian top order, getting three wickets including the prized scalp of Virat Kohli.

The opening day of the Test at Headingley saw the rare event of Virat Kohli winning a toss, followed by one of the worst batting displays by the World Test Championship runners-up as they collapsed to 78 all out in the face of some extraordinary bowling from the likes of James Anderson.
Jigar Mehta analyses how Kohli and company lost the plot from the word go, making their chances of going 2-0 in this series very difficult if not impossible.

What a start to the 3rd Test we've had. Day 1 belonged to England. They bundled India out for 78 and then took a 42-run lead without losing a wicket. It was a brilliant comeback after Lord's capitulation. India are firmly on the back foot and the Indian pacers will be in search for early wickets and they would look to go all out in order to claw their way back into the match.

ENG vs IND, 3rd Test Live Score Updates: Ishant continues. He needs to make the batters play more. He is currently struggling to adjust to the left and right hand opening combination. Bowled poor lengths and line to Burns, got hit for a boundary as well.
Day 1 report: England great James Anderson ripped through the top order as India collapsed to 78 all out in the third Test at Headingley on Wednesday before openers Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed capped a near-perfect first day for Joe Root's men with an unbroken stand of 120.
Anderson took 3-6 in eight overs, including the prize wicket of India captain Virat Kohli, who won the toss.
Both Sam Curran and Craig Overton took two wickets in two balls after lunch, with Overton finishing with 3-14 in 10.4 overs after being recalled in place of injured fast bowler Mark Wood.
Even so there was still the worry for England, beset by top-order problems during a run of seven Tests without a win, might collapse in similar fashion.
But Burns and Hameed - England's 22nd Test-opening partnership since Andrew Strauss retired nine years ago -- posted only England's second century first-wicket stand in five years at this level.
At stumps, Burns was 52 not out and Hameed, promoted to open after Dom Sibley was dropped, 60 not out.
This was England's best first day in a Test since the 2015 Ashes clash at Trent Bridge where they dismissed Australia for just 60, with Stuart Broad taking 8-15, before reaching stumps on 274-4 -- with Root unbeaten on 124.
India, 56-4 at lunch on Wednesday, lost their last six wickets for 22 runs in an innings that was finished inside 41 overs.
Rohit Sharma (19) and Ajinkya Rahane (18) were the only India batsmen to make it into double figures, with extras providing 16 runs.
An unchanged India came into this match 1-0 up in the five-Test series following a superb 151-run win at Lord's last week.
England, by contrast, recalled Overton after Wood joined fellow quicks Broad, Jofra Archer and Olly Stone on the sidelines.
Kohli won the toss and despite the overcast conditions that promised to aid Anderson, decided to bat.
