After 17 overs,England 46/2 ( Dominic Sibley 16 , )
A successful over from Bumrah. He was still struggling to get his lines right before he bowled the beauty to Crawley. He drifts a couple on the pads, Sibley tucks one for a couple and then one for a single. The rest were blocked before Bumrah bowled that beauty to induce an outside edge, Pant did the rest. 3 runs and a wicket off the over. Joe Root is the new batsman. England 46/2.

OUT! Bumrah gets Crawley. Really good delivery. Pitches it up a touch fuller, it nips away after landing. Crawley stays in his crease and looks to defend but is done in by the away movement. Gets an outside edge and Pant takes a diving catch.

After 16 overs,England 43/1 ( Dominic Sibley 13 , Zak Crawley 6)
A very good over from Siraj. He has the wicket of Burns off the second ball with one that moves away. Then again bowls one that moves away to Crawley, he gets a thick outside edge wide of the third slip fielder. Crawley then punches one wide of mid on for a couple. The last two are left alone. 6 runs and a wicket off the over.

FOUR! Edgy! Nervous start first ball. Crawley looks to defend from the crease but gets a thick outside edge wide of the third slip.
15:49 (IST)
OUT! Siraj gets the breakthrough, Burns departs! Good length delivery middle and leg, shaping away. Nips away after landing. Burns stays in his crease and looks to defend but is done in by the away movement. Gets an outside edge to the keeper. Siraj is ecstatic.

After 15 overs,England 37/0 ( Rory Burns 18 , Dominic Sibley 13)
Eventful over! Sibley is lucky to be out there. Survives run out chance. He taps wide of third slip and sets off, Rahane makes a brilliant diving stop, picks up and has a shy but misses. Sibley was a goner had that hit. Bumrah is hitting those hard lengths, back of a length, not going full. Sibley pats one towards gully, there is slight hesitation but he safely gets back in after being sent back. There was another occasion where the two batsmen hesitated and if Rahane had scored the direct hit at that time, Sibley was a goner. Bumrah also beat Sibley's outside edge with a back of a length delivery tailing away.

After 14 overs,England 37/0 ( Rory Burns 18 , Dominic Sibley 13)
Siraj and Bumrah haven't built that much pressure to start off. Siraj bowls one a tad fuller, angling in, Sibley flicks it wide of mid on for a single. Burns then leaves one before tucking one on the pads to the leg side for a single. After a back-foot defense, Sibley pushes one to the off side for a single before Burns leaves the last one alone. 3 singles off the over.

Siraj continues...

After 13 overs,England 34/0 ( Rory Burns 17 , Dominic Sibley 11)
Bumrah was indisciplined in that over. Not much movement in the air for him. He bowls one outside off on good length to start off, Burns leaves it alone. Bumrah then errs in line and drifts it onto the pads, Burns flicks it away behind square for two. And then after bowling a NO BALL via overstepping, he again drifts one onto the leg side, Burns flicks it away for four this time. Burns finishes the over with a solid block. 7 runs off the over.
15:37 (IST)
FOUR! Poor from Bumrah! On the pads, Burns flicks it away through square leg, it races away.
15:35 (IST)
After 12 overs,England 27/0 ( Rory Burns 11 , Dominic Sibley 11)
Siraj to begin the proceedings with the ball for India. Starts off with one angling into Sibley’s pads and the right-hander gets off the mark straight away, tickling it towards fine leg. Bangs in the penultimate delivery, Sibley ducks under it easily and Pant flies behind the stumps to collect it. Huge shout for LBW off the last delivery against Sibley, the umpire denies, but India don’t opt for a review. Just two off the over.

India vs England 1st Test Live updates: Eventful over! Sibley is lucky to be out there. Survives run out chance. He taps wide of third slip and sets off, Rahane makes a brilliant diving stop, picks up and has a shy but misses. Sibley was a goner had that hit. Bumrah is hitting those hard lengths, back of a length, not going full. Sibley pats one towards gully, there is slight hesitation but he safely gets back in after being sent back. There was another occasion where the two batsmen hesitated and if Rahane had scored the direct hit at that time, Sibley was a goner. Bumrah also beat Sibley's outside edge with a back of a length delivery tailing away.
Opener KL Rahul ensured India passed England’s first innings total of 183 before he was out for 84, then Ravindra Jadeja's 56 and Jasprit Bumrah's 28-run cameo set up a lead of 95.
In the process, James Anderson took two more wickets to eclipse retired India great Anil Kumble as the third highest wicket-taker in test history on 621. Ollie Robinson added a maiden 5-for.
Rory Burns, 11 not out, and Dom Sibley, 9 not out, navigated 11.1 overs to lead England to 25 without loss until rain ended play early for a second straight day.
England was on something of a roll when rain stalled its progress on Thursday, and it had to endure a false start in the morning session on Friday, managing just 11 deliveries before being forced off by showers.
Almost an hour later play resumed, and a gentler shower was allowed to pass through, although that decision was not to everyone’s liking. Rahul seemed keen to take shelter, running towards the pavilion, only to be sent back to the crease by umpire Michael Gough — with a word from Anderson in his ear.
It was not the first or the last sign of verbal niggles between the sides, while Anderson and Robinson were both involved in brushes with batsmen that were closer than is usually comfortable in cricketing circles. Neither incident, with Rahul and Mohammed Siraj, was anything to worry about but with four tests still to go there is already scope for things to heat up.
England’s only wicket of the morning came when a typically frenetic Rishabh Pant stay ended in a working over by Robinson. In the space of a single over Pant sprayed just wide of gully and top-edged a six straight over the wicketkeeper’s head before springing a carefully laid trap by picking out Jonny Bairstow at short cover.
Had Dan Lawrence managed to run out Jadeja when he was fresh to the crease, England might even have fancied itself to wrap things up in a hurry. Instead, his throw missed the target, India was eight runs ahead by lunch and Jadeja went on to score a crucial 56.
The pace picked up dramatically in the afternoon, with India adding another 97 for the loss of its last five wickets.
Joe Root put Rahul down on 78 in the first over of the session, Anderson frustrated again as he had been when the opener was on 52 a day earlier. It was third time lucky soon after, though, with a constrictive line and length yielding yet an edge into Jos Buttler’s gloves.
Shardul Thakur represented easy pickings for Anderson’s fourth wicket of the innings, a dismissal which persuaded Jadeja to hit the accelerator. He signalled his intent by flicking Anderson for six over fine leg and was soon celebrating his half-century with a cut for four.
He could not keep it up, though, a wild heave off Robinson spiralling to Stuart Broad at mid off. The seamer pressed a finger to his lips as a parting message to Jadeja, offering further evidence of simmering tension in the middle.
At eight down, India was 49 ahead and would have been delighted to almost double that with its last two wickets.
The tail flailed their bats with abandon, going aerial almost every time, and mustered four fours and a six to crank up the pressure on England’s imminent second innings.
Robinson eventually ended things with the second new ball, cleaning up Mohammed Shami and benefiting from one wild shot too many from a playful Bumrah.
Robinson, back from a suspension for racist and sexist tweets more than seven years ago, grabbed four of the last six wickets.
It was not enough to stop India establishing a potentially decisive lead of 95, but its total of 278 would have been a great deal higher without his persistent interrogation of the touring batsmen for 5-85.
Anderson claimed 4-54.
Burns and Sibley blocked out six overs before tea and another 5.1 after before dark skies and more rain robbed the match of more valuable time.
