England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to bowl first. Then his bowlers took over even as rain played its part, stopping the game before lunch. James Anderson and Matthew Potts talked with the new ball, but India dominated the post-lunch session thanks to a sensational knock from Pant, who scored his fifth Test ton, and Jadeja's vigil. Pant finally got out for 146 off 111. There was very little for new India captain Jasptri Bumrah to do on Day 1. He will be a busy man though on the following days.

Virat Kohli just faced an over from James Anderson, then rain stopped play. And followed by lunch. Hanuma Vihari and Kohli were unbeaten on 14 and 1 respectively. IND - 53/2 (20.1)
James Anderson strikes again, this time it is Cheteshwar Pujara. Anderson pitches the ball at good length forcing Pujara to forward press. The ball takes the edge and goes straight to Zak Crawley again. Pujara goes for 13. IND 52/2 (19)
Hanuma Vihari and Cheteshwar Pujara have negated the England attack well so far except for the only wicket of Shubman Gill. The likes of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Matthew Potts have gotten the radar in the last few overs with the pitch offering uneven bounce and good seam movement. IND 38/1 (13)
OUT! James Anderson strikes for England. Jimmy angles in closer to the off stump and Shubman Gill goes for a hard front-foot defence but gets the outside edge for Zak Crawley at second slip. IND 29/1 (6.2)
A pretty cautious start by the Indian openers as Both Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill are taking their time in the middle. IND 13/0 (4)
Expectedly, Chesteshwar Pujara comes out in the middle with Shubman Gill. James Anderson opens the bowling for England. And the first four comes from Gill. Anderson puts in a half-volley and Gill times it well through the big gap at mid-wicket. IND 5/0 (1)
Jasprit Bumrah (IND): It's a good feeling (to be captain) and is a big privilege. Can't get better than this. Excited and looking forward to this. Very happy with the preparation. Wanted to spend a lot of time and get used to the English conditions, as we came back from T20s.
Ben Stokes (ENG): We've done well chasing and it's also to see how the wicket will behave. It's obviously good to come into a new series so quickly. Gives us the opportunity to keep the momentum rolling.
India: Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Hanuma Vihari, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah(c)

Jasprit Bumrah became the only second Indian fast bowler to lead India. Legendary Kapil Dev was the first to lead India. India won the 1983 World Cup under Kapil Dev’s leadership. A draw or a win in the fifth Test match will help India secure a series win for the first time since 2007 in English soil.
Hello and welcome to the England vs India, Day 1 of the fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The weather forecast predicts bit of showers for the first couple of days. Let's hope rain does not play spoilsport.
