LEEDS:

India reached lunch well-placed at 454/7 after being sent into bat by England captain Ben Stokes on Friday's first day of this five-match series.

But having been cruising towards a score in excess of 500, India lost four wickets for 24 runs towards the end of the session. Stokes, the pick of England's attack, had Shardul Thakur caught behind to force an early lunch, with the all-rounder's figures now standing at 4/66 in 19.4 overs.
