Umpires are taking to the field

Former captain Saurav Ganguly says India will have to field very well and not drop catches. India have dropped 29 catches so far

England are just 39 behind with seven wickets in hand. India aren't out of it, but they need to strike regularly in this first session

The weather, which is being much talked about, is that it's dry at the moment. Suggestions that rain will come in later, so it's a case of fingers crossed.

Indian Players are in the field, warming up
