3pm: Wow. A tricky start somehow snowballed into an all-timer for India. Their score of 78 is the seventh-lowest in Test history after choosing to bat first, although the last pair did manage to scrape them past a couple of feebler efforts by India, versus West Indies in 1987 and South Africa in 2008. The conditions at Headingley don't look to treacherous, on the surface - but clearly it did enough for England's seamers throughout, with Rohit Sharma's struggle for 19 off 105 indicative of the challenge. Fortunately for Virat Kohli, he has a decent seam attack at his command, too. Even more fortunately, he's playing against England, who have resembled 10 cardboard cut-outs plus Joe Root in recent times. If the ball keeps nipping around, this could continue to be a lively afternoon

England, of course, were all out for 67 at this ground, and they went on to win, as they've been reminding you every day for the last two years...
India have lost four wickets in the space of six balls here. And No. 11 will soon be out to try and prevent a hat-trick. Here's Mohammed Siraj now.

Ishant Sharma faces the hat-trick ball.
If you had no idea what the law of averages is, that Shami dismissal was the very definition.
Hemachandra: "This is wrong statement --> the first wicket today to not involve Buttler or a guy with a son in his name. -- it was caught by Robinson :-D " -- Ha, I didn't realise that!
Mohammed Shami c Burns b Overton 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Here's Mohammed Shami.
And just like that, the first wicket today to not involve Buttler or a guy with a son in his name.
