India's first session, which started on a good note, has ended with the wicket of Sai Sudharsan. Post lunch, Gill and Jaiswal will walk back to the crease and will be keen to make things better.
A moment of nerves for the debutant. Appeals for that pad touch, as the umpire does not move.
The very next ball, he goes out, a similar delivery, he tries to play it to square. A forgettable first inning.
With lunch nearing, Rahul's wicket comes at a wrong time. India still can reach 100 runs, as they are eight runs away from it.
Sai Sudharsan walks in, for the first time. Will be keen to make a mark.

This partnership is the highest opening partnership for India at Headingley, with the previous at 64.
Jaiswal's attempted cut shorts are futile, as none of it latched the ball. He needs to be careful, with 15 minutes remaining before lunch.

For those not watching it on TV, Rahul's shot looked similar to this picture below, from the intra-squad game

Pitching outside leg - not out, umpire's decision was correct.
Rahul's cutshot off a fuller delivery of Chris Woakes is perfectly executed, and the ball travels faster to the boundary. India 36-0 in 13th over
Sai Sudharsan's updward trajectory is well summed up by one of our correspondents, Gomesh S, in this story.
By the looks of it, Woakes is getting closer to getting the laft-hander leg before, similar to how he did in the Ind A - Eng Lions match. India 26-0 in eighth over
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been carefully negotiating the English bowlers Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse. Two boundaries, he is currently on 11 runs for 16 balls.
