Cook was up early and raring to fire. He got the chance when he won the toss and chose to bat.

While he did get a lifeline when he was dropped on 15 by Ravindra Jadeja in the slips, the England skipper showed vintage class otherwise to keep Indians at bay.

Cook put on 55 for the opening wicket with Sam Robson (26) before losing him to Mohammad Shami.

Indians looked demoralised as while the pacers got some movement early on, sensible batting prolonged their wait.

The wait for Cook's wicket finally came to an end when the batsman edged Jadeja (in pic) to fall on 95.

Cook got a standing ovation from the Southampton crowd.

Local fans had reasons to celebrate even after Cook's wicket as Ballance took over from where his skipper left.

Ballance played confident cricket and eventually brought up his third Test century - second in the series - to lead England's charge alongwith Ian Bell.

While the day belonged to England with Ballance unbeaten on 104, Indian bowlers were not shabby. The likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar will look to come back hard and negate the favourable batting conditions at the Rose Bowl on Day 2.
