Must be a great feeling having Virat Kohli as your bunny

Blimey that's a good start...

We need to knock over the openers and middle order, as we'll concede 200 to the Indian tail enders.

That's something the English are good at, coming up with new ways to fear the opposition.

That's something the English are good at

Finally there’s something! I’m going to frame that.

Ollieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Apart from Root's time off the pitch, this is going better than England could have wished for.

One question; Have there ever been three innings on the first day of a Test March?

Fucking come on

Tearing through them.

Can only assume we’ll be bowled out for 30 now.

Incredible.

Carnage.

amazing!

Which England slip fielder is going to miss an early catch

Turns out it was Bairstow

Bairstow

Were I to indulge, he would always be a good each-way bet.

Hameed looking to make a story for himself

Shocking by India. Some good bowling by Anderson but so many of the Indian looked flat footed.

I’d always always have a bowl after winning the toss at Headingley.

I’ll be there tomorrow. Should be a great day.

I’ve rewatched and Pujara and Rahane got good balls but the rest of them weren’t anything special.

An opening 50-partnership!
I missed the TMS comment that informed us how long it is since the last one.

2015 v NZ?

Could be.

Andy Zaltzman informs us it is only the 5th time the Eng openers have exceeded the opposition score. Most memorably?

Catching up on today's play!!! The hat trick balls were good fun. Great day for England.

I can’t see Jimmy retiring as long as Kohli plays Test cricket. Guaranteed two wickets a game for him.

I was impressed by the English openers batting through to the end,
no defenciveness, the scoring rate accelerated in the last 10 overs.

India were very deflated by them.

I expect them to respond strongly this morning but we are already in a very good position to win the game.

200 lead would do very nicely.
