Hampshire seamer Chris Tremlett makes his England Test debut after Matthew Hoggard is ruled out with a back injury

England captain Michael Vaughan wins the toss and elects to bat on the opening morning of the match at Lord's

Alastair Cook opens with Andrew Strauss and the pair reach 50 midway through the ninth over

Zaheer Khan leads India's attack but struggles, going at over six runs an over, as the batsmen prosper

Sree Santh looks more likely to take a wicket but fares little better when it comes to conceding runs

Sensing the need for change, captain Rahul Dravid brings on Sourav Ganguly (centre) who traps Cook lbw in his first over

Having put on 76 with his first partner, Strauss then takes his side to 115-1 at lunch with the help of Vaughan

The captain combines well with his team-mate and the two complete their 50 partnership soon after the interval

Minutes later Strauss has a half century of his own after taking a single off the bowling of RP Singh

The spin of Anil Kumble reduces the run rate but he too finds it hard to break the pair as they push closer to 200

A fine shot from Vaughan brings up his 50 and takes the partnership past the 100 mark as England reach tea on 197-1

Kumble finally makes the breakthrough when he gets Strauss to edge to Dravid just four runs short of his 11th Test century

The next to bat is Kevin Pietersen who makes three runs before bad light intervenes and forces the players off

Play resumes at 1745 BST only for the light to fade again shortly after and bring another halt to proceedings

With the action re-starting for a second time, Vaughan snicks Singh's delivery to Mahendra Dhoni to depart for 79

There is also time for Kumble to inflict Paul Collingwood's first Test duck as a chastened England end the day on 268-4
