Bumrah to Stubbs, no run, Full on off, 137kph, Stubbs with a solid defence

India's fielding coach gives the final talk in the team huddle and they hurry out. Tristan Stubbs the new batter at No. 3 today. Guessing Mulder moves down the order.

11.15am Hello folks. We should be resuming in five minutes. It had been a session of toil for India, but that man Jasprit Bumrah has once again found an opening. Can India capitalise, or will there be more resistance from the batters?

Reinier: "I see it says tea but it is only the first session. Shouldn't it be lunch?" -- It's been switched around for this game due to the early starts, as 11am is too early for lunch.

11:02am That wicket will give India a huge boost. This is a short 20-minute break, so not a lot of time for South Africa to regroup. Most of the first session was about Markram and Rickelton looking at ease. They countered whatever India threw at them, Markram's dropped catch notwithstanding. Washington found a lot of purchase from the pitch with his offspin. Kuldeep was also pretty tight, Jadeja hasn't been used yet. Will this opening spring some life back into India's bowling? Find out shortly upon resumption, don't go too far away. This is the shorter of the two breaks in this Test match

Hafiz: "I don't understand, it's day test. Why they are calling this break as Tea? " Because Guwahati is in the far east of India, the sun rises and sets early. So this game began half an hour earlier than most Tests in India. 11am is too early for lunch, hence the switch.

Bumrah to Markram, OUT, Castled! Guwahati comes back to life as Bumrah breaks through. After a series of length balls that pushed Markram onto the back foot, he slips one in full and straight around off, 140kph. He couldn't resist the drive, goes for it and gets a thick inside edge that dismantles the middle and leg stumps. Markram is livid with himself and has to walk back now. Bumrah should have had Markram in the first hour, has him on the last ball before tea on day 1
