India v England: Watch the story of Day One so far in Rajkot
Thursday 10 November 2016 12:09, UK
England banished the memory of their second Test defeat to Bangladesh by piling up 311-4 on day one of the first Test against India.
Click on the video above to see the best of the action from the first day in Rajkot, where Joe Root (124) struck his 11th Test hundred and Moeen Ali finished unbeaten on 99.
The pair led the England recovery from 102-3 after Ben Duckett (13) fell to the final ball of the first session; a sensational catch at slip by Ajinkya Rahane off Ravichandran Ashwin.
Ashwin also accounted for Haseeb Hameed (31), after the 19-year-old Lancastrian had impressed initially on his Test debut, sharing in a 47-run stand with Alastair Cook (21).
The pair had benefited from some lucky escapes early on in their innings', though, Cook dropped twice in the first two overs of the day, and Hameed shelled when on 13.
Cook was eventually the first wicket to fall, choosing not to review his lbw dismissal against Ravindra Jadeja that was shown to be missing his leg stump. Hameed then wasted a review on his, when trapped in front by Ashwin.
Duckett's wicket gave India the upper had given that England had won the toss and decided to make first use of a decent batting track, but Root and Moeen's efforts turned things around for the tourists.
