Sky Sports' Michael Atherton said England's bowling attack looked "rusty" as they toiled on the opening day of the Test series against India at Headingley.

After being inserted by Ben Stokes (2-43) at the toss, India piled on 359-3 by stumps on day one of the first Test against an under-cooked England attack.

Chris Woakes (0-89) missed the innings victory over Zimbabwe last month as he recovered from ankle injury, Brydon Carse (1-70) - having had toe trouble of his own since the winter tour of New Zealand - is playing in his first home Test, while Josh Tongue (0-75) was playing at Headingley for the first time.
