LUNCH - DAY 1

England 117-1 (31 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

A good start by England as they make most of winning the toss to post 117 for one at lunch on Day 1.

Debutant opener Jennings led the way with a sparkling innings of 65 not out, having hit eight fours in his 112-ball knock.

He put on 99 runs for the opening wicket with Cook, who made 46, before he was stumped in Jadeja's first over.

Root was unbeaten on five at the lunch interval.

Left-hander Jennings impressed everyone, especially with the way how he handled the Indian spinners, after a shaky start. He was dropped on zero as Karun Nair put down a tough catch in the gully region off Yadav early in the England innings.

But he blossomed quite well after a shaky start and hit some delightful boundaries and used the sweep shot to good effect against Ashwin & Co.

India will be desperate for a few wickets after the lunch break, with the pitch threatening to offer a lot more assistance to the spinners as a few deliveries turned and bounced quite a deal in the morning session.

Stay tuned!
