Jonathan Agnew, Michael Vaughan and Deep Dasgupta reflect on a rain-interrupted first day at the Oval, with India closing on 204-6.

They assess the impact Chris Woakes’ injury could have on the rest of the Test, after he damaged his shoulder diving to prevent a boundary.

We also hear from Gus Atkinson, who took two wickets on his return to the side.

And journalist Simon Wilde gives us the story of Gilbert Jessop, who still holds the record for the fastest Test century for England.
