Making his return to Test cricket after eight years, Dawson made an immediate impact by striking in just his second over, claiming a wicket with the very first ball of India’s 41st over.

The 35-year-old bowled a good-length delivery outside off stump, which Jaiswal advanced to defend. The southpaw played for turn, but the ball went with the arm and took an outside edge, with Harry Brook making no mistake at first slip.

India lose both their openers in the second session of Day 1

After being put into bat in the fourth Test, India's opening duo of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal made a solid start, cautiously negotiating the first hour under overcast conditions. The pair maintained their steady approach as the visitors went into lunch unscathed at 78/0 after 26 overs, with Rahul unbeaten on 40 and Jaiswal on 36.

Chris Woakes provided England with the first breakthrough in the post-lunch session, removing Rahul in the 30th over. The opener fell just short of a half-century, dismissed for 46 off 98 balls with four boundaries, ending a 94-run opening partnership.

Jaiswal went on to complete his half-century, his 12th in Test cricket. However, the southpaw failed to convert it into a bigger score, falling to Liam Dawson for 58 off 107 deliveries. At the time of writing, the visitors were 131/2 after 45 overs, with Sai Sudharsan (18) and skipper Shubman Gill (6) at the crease.
