India vs England 5th Test Day 1: Bowlers script visitors' comeback, England 7 down: As it happened

This brings us to the end of the first day's play. See you tomorrow on Day 2. Till then it's a goodbye from us.

Bitter observation from Sanjay Manjrekar.

Today’s England performance another painful reminder for India as to how great an opportunity they have missed to win an overseas series. #ENDvIND

What a session this has been for India as their bowlers picked up 6 wickets in that session. Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja got the wickets. Shami was unlucky to have not picked up any wickets.

India hit back!

Six wickets in the final session, after England had been just one down at Tea, mean that, despite battling half-centuries from Alastair Cook and Moeen Ali, it's 🇮🇳 who are on top.

Stumps Day 1! England end the first day's play at 198/7. Adil Rashid and Jos Buttler return to the dressing room unbeaten and have become overnight batsmen.

England have reached 198/7 in 89 overs. India have taken the second new ball.

Wicket! Second wicket for Ishant in that over and Sam Curran too departs without scoring. England are 177/7 now.

Wicket! Ishant Sharma brings an end to Moeen Ali's patient knock. The set batsman couldn't help but nick Ishant and Pant does the rest with the gloves on. England - 177/6.

Moeen falls, India rise higher. Bowling’s been just superb

Fifty! Moeen Ali notches up his half-century off 167 deliveries. He's just hung up there to complete his 13th Test fifty.

Harsha has some praise for India's relentless bowling.

This is not a bat-first-170-5 pitch. India have been very disciplined and relentless but England must worry about their batting

— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) September 7, 2018

Wicket! Ravindra Jadeja gets the second success of the day as he traps Ben Stokes for 11. Jadeja has finally managed to break the partnership for his team and half of the English team is back into the pavilion.

The ball from Jadeja which yorked Stokes was the fullest ball the Indian spinner had bowled to him. #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/joFcaBISlu

The Turbanator feels bad for Shami!

Great spell this is @Jaspritbumrah93 @ImIshant @MdShami11 pick of the bowler for me he has been unlucky so far today but sure he is gonna get the rewards.. india in control ✅🇮🇳 @BCCI vs @ECB_cricket

Cook has been dismissed two times for duck in this year.

No. of ducks for Root in each calendar year in Tests:

2018: 2
2017: 0
2016: 1
2015: 1
2014: 0
2013: 1
2012: 0

The pacers have infused some life in this spell with three quick wickets.

Three wickets in two overs is a stunning turnaround in the match. Beyond a point, stonewalling. Is counterproductive in the modern 5-day game England realising to their chagrin. Bumrah and Ishant brilliant!

— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) September 7, 2018

Wicket! Another wicket for India. Jonny Bairstow has been dismissed once again for duck. He nibbled Ishant and Pant did the rest. England are 134/4 now.

Woow over from Bumrah, as pointed out by @mohanstatsman #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/WZ5KARG6iG

Wicket! Second wicket for Bumrah in 3 deliveries as he traps Joe Root in front for duck. England lose two big wickets, first Cook and then Root, without adding a single run. England - 133/3 in 63.5 overs.

Root even wasted the DRS for his team after umpire Wilson took his time to rule in favour of the bowler.

Wicket! And Cook's patient knock comes to an end for 71. No Century for him in the first innings of his farewell Test. Relief for Bumrah as he gets the big man. England - 133/2.

Lowest score after 60 overs in the opening innings of a Test by any team since November 2014.

England 128-1 after 60 overs. The lowest score after 60 overs in the opening innings of a Test by any team since November 2014, when Bangladesh were 125-2 after 60 v Zimbabwe in Khulna.

2nd DRS lost! India lost both their reviews as Virat Kohli's desperation to break the partnership between Cook and Ali didn't help the team either. Cook is present at the crease as the ball was missing wickets.

Match Resumes! Indians would be eager to get wickets in this session as the partnership between Cook and Ali is getting stronger.

It's Tea Break! England 123/1 at the end of the second session on the first Day. Cook and Ali have batted patiently so far, the English camp looks happy with their efforts. Those dropped chances in the slip cordon would hurt the Indians in the dressing room during the Tea break as they go wicketless in this session.

Inspired bowling supported by some luck and sure catching I might add! https://t.co/2XFtiZZAaA

England 121/1 in 56 overs. The Indians have bowled well in this session but the wickets have dried up for them. The partnership between Cook and Ali is frustrating the visitors in this session.

2nd consecutive 50-partnership for England in the innings! 51-run stand between Alastair Cook and Moeen Ali. The Indian bowlers are trying hard to break this partnership. Those missed chances has started hurting the Indians.

Fifty! 89th half-century off 139 balls by Alastair Cook in his career's final match. He gets a standing ovation for his knock so far. This also happens to be the first fifty from an opener in this series.

51* in the first innings of his last Test match...Cook is showing the steel that made him who he is. #NotOverYet #EngvInd

— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) September 7, 2018

100 comes up for England in the 46th over with a boundary off Alastair Cook. Cook has also reached 49* in the innings.

England are headed for a good total today. The hosts have reached 89/1 in 39 overs.

Review Lost! India lose their first review as their call for LBW was turned down by the umpire. Kohli went upstairs but in vain. Moeen Ali remains unbeaten.

Two catches have already been dropped at slip cordon by the Indians. Kohli (Moeen) and Rahane (Cook) have put down two catches in as many overs.

India’s slip fielders haven’t wiped the butter off their fingers after lunch. Two catches put down in successive overs is two too many!

— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) September 7, 2018

Match Resumes after lunch break. Cook looks to capitalise upon the good start in the second session.

That completes a solid morning of work for England's top order, not something that has been said too often in recent times. Joe Root didn't hesitate in electing to bat first after winning the toss, as the conditions look friendly for those wielding the willow. The Indian fast bowlers found a little bit of help, but it was the spin of Ravindra Jadeja that made the breakthrough when Keaton Jennings turned one into the lap of leg slip. Alastair Cook has treated us to a few trademark strokes and The Oval crowd will be hoping there is more to come this afternoon.

That's Lunch on Day 1 of the 5th Test at The Oval.

England 68/1

It's Lunch Time! England are 68/1 after 28 overs were bowled. Good positive session for the hosts this has been. India operated 5 bowlers, including two spinners, in this session. Ravindra Jadeja broke the 60-run opening stand between Cook and Jennings. Jennings departed for 23. Cook is unbeaten on 37, Moeen 2*.
