Ganguly saying he would attack Jadeja to get rid of the three men in catching positions on the legside.
Ballance so far content to push out with his hands in defence.
Bounce from Jadeja but Ballance rides it and turns the ball to fine leg for a single.
FOUR! Bhuvi is too short and too wide and Ballance cuts ferociously.
FOUR! Leg-byes this time as Bhuvi slides down leg.
RJ continues. Dhoni no longer has three men in catching positions on the legside. He has moved one of them back to save the single.
The batsmen get the single anyway. In fact, they get two to fine leg.
Three from Jadeja's over.
FOUR! Cook pushes Bhuvi down the ground off the back foot and Vijay misfields at midoff to concede the boundary.
Dhoni has turned to Murali Vijay. This Test is far from over.
Six from Vijay's first over. England are 42 for 1 after 15 overs. Cook is on 14 and Ballance on 12.
Back to three men around the bat on the legside plus a slip.
Jadeja is bowling to Cook, fyi.
Cook sneaks a flick past the waiting men on the legside all the way to midwicket for a single.
Vijay continues from the other end. Strange how this pitch has gone from one that was seam only to one that is spin only.
Five from the over including 4 byes when one ball decided to dart along the ground after pitching.
Jadeja continues to dart the ball in at Cook, who continues to play him off the back foot.
FOUR! Jadeja draws the edge from Ballance but the ball scoots along the ground past slip and away to the third man boundary.
That miscued shot brings up England's 50. Jadeja is furious. There is no justice in the world, is there?
Another grubber from Vijay that hits the rough and clangs into Dhoni's shins pads and away for byes.
England not exactly comfortably but not exactly struggling at the moment.
Dhoni has turned back to pace. Ishant has the ball.
He needs to bowl wicket-to-wicket given this pitch is misbehaving a bit.
Starts with a short one to Cook.
He has dismissed Cook seven times in 12 innings. That's not bad.
Ishant bowling a tight line outside offstump but Cook happy to leave well enough alone.
Dhoni persisting with Jadeja at the other end.
The lights are on at Lord's. It looks very cloudy overhead.
Dhoni has a silly point in place with Jadeja bowling now.
This has become attritional cricket again after the excitement Jadeja provided with this batting.
Five men around the bat as RJ continues.
Ballance gets a single to square leg.
Not much happening by way of excitement aside from the weather.
Just as I say that, one rises up and spits at Cook, who somehow manages to fend it off and evade the catchers on the legside.
Cook also gets a single to leg and that brings up the 50-partnership.
England are 62 for 1. The target is now 257.
Dhoni standing back to the spinners now. Not sure what that is about.
If RJ does draw an edge, there is no way Dhoni can take it.
What is going on out there? He is a good three yards behind the stumps with RJ bowling.
Bowling around-the-wicket, one shoots off the surface and past Ballance's bat and face. Dhoni takes it at chest height.
What do I know about cricket. Nothing. Nothing at all.
