England 61-2 (33 ovs) vs India

India's over rate has been excellent and with so many overs of spin it is not a surprise.

Finally, R Ashwin comes into the attack as Dhoni calls him to bowl the 30th over. Trott sweeps the second ball on the leg side for one and Pietersen drives the fourth ball to long-on for another single.

Trott sweeps the last ball fine for a couple as England continue to rebuild.

Ishant Sharma comes back for his second spell, a few minutes before the lunch break. KP defends the first ball and he inside edges the next ball as Ishant starts his new spell with another maiden and Ashwin does the same.

Ishant gets another ball to stay low as KP defends it somehow getting his bat down just in time. He gets the toe end of the bat off the next ball as it goes on the off-side for another single.

Ishant then tries a bouncer which barely bounces Trott who ducks under and it goes on the bounce to Dhoni. The last ball also goes on the bounce to Dhoni.

A dramatic first session as England scored just 61 runs in 33 overs, losing two wickets in the process.
