England's day without a shadow of doubt. If you want to have a chance of winning on the sub-continent, you bat first and pile on the runs.

Umesh almost did a Herschelle Gibbs there. #IndvEng

Didn't seem to have control, soft signal saved Umesh there - india has forgotten how to catch but can still fake it with a smile #INDvENG

Q- Mohd Shami is the odd man out in this test match. Why?

A - Only one from both sides who hasn't got a FC hundred. #INDvENG

Joe Root hammering the Indian bowling around the park, not for the first time. Jadeja vu. #INDvENG

At this rate we might have a DRS in the US before there's one in Rajkot

Seems like several sore fingers in the Indian slip cordon. Too much frenzied cash counting last night? #INDvENG #currencyban
— Jamie Alter (@jamie_alterTOI) November 9, 2016

what a manic morning - unusable currency, dropped catches and trump!
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) November 9, 2016

The slip Cordon needs to come up a bit. All balls have flown in very low. #indveng

— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) November 9, 2016

Indians are not accepting chances as if it's a Rs.500/1000 note #INDvENG
— Cricket Bakchod (@AllTimeBakchod) November 9, 2016

WTF India. You can't exchange these dropped catches in some bank man.
— Sidvee (@sidvee) November 9, 2016

If Cook is batting like a Hillary Clinton fan, India are fielding like Hillary Clinton.

Is it a #DropIn pitch
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) November 9, 2016

Waiting for Saha to drop one now. This way we have the West, North, South and East covered

The one time Umesh Yadav bowls well, you payback with dropped catches. #INDvENG

From not being selected in England's squad for Under-19 WC to making Test debut at 19, life has come full circle for Haseeb Hameed #INDvENG
