India dominate the first session of play as Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul combine to put on 78-0 at lunch on Day 1 of the 4th Test at Old Trafford in Manchester.
England bowlers bowled too short or too full and other than the first half an hour of play where the batters were beaten a few times, Stokes and his bowlers lacked much sting.
India did enjoy some luck, particularly, Jaiswal with a couple of attempted pulls, but the visitors were quiet in control of proceedings in that first session of play.
Archer continues and Jaiswal starts the over with a single to mid-wicket.
Archer keeps the lengths at good length and short of good length and Rahul ends the over with a single to fine leg as 2 come off the over. That is lunch on Day 1.
Stokes continues and Rahul starts the over with a single.
Three dots later, Stokes bowls a short bouncer and Jaiswal plays the upper cut for a six!
Jaiswal ends the over with a single as 8 come off it.
