At stumps on the opening day, India were 259 for four in 90 overs.

Murali Vijay batted beautifully through the day to finish unbeaten on 122 from 294 balls, hitting 20 fours and a six in the process. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni adopted a positive approach to hit 50 from 64 balls as the duo put on 81 runs for the fifth wicket to give India slight edge on the opening day.

England struggled with the slow pitch in Nottingham but took wickets at the beginning of each session to ensure they kept India within touching distance in good batting conditions at the start of the five-test series.

Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane all fell early in a session, but Vijay's patience and expansive repertoire of shots helped keep the score ticking over.
