RAJKOT, India (AP) England lost three wickets for 55 runs to go to lunch on 102 for three on the first day of the opening cricket test against India on Wednesday.

England made a bright start with captain Alastair Cook and teenage debutant Haseeb Hameed putting on 47 for the first wicket after both survived dropped catches from India's fielders.

Cook, dropped before he was off the mark, ran out of luck after the drinks break when he was on 21 and he was trapped leg before wicket by Ravindra Jadeja.

Just 19, Hammed hit six boundaries on his way to 31 before he fell lbw to Ravi Ashwin.
