It has been an absorbing first day at Trent Bridge, with the eyes of the world peering down on the first exchanges between England and India this summer.
Nottingham has come alive this week, and Trent Bridge Live has been on hand to document the unfolding events.
Mulari Vijay has provided the focal point for today's play, his effortless century providing the backbone of India's innings, as chronicled live:
"The milestone marks the hundreth century in tests at Trent Bridge and Vijay's first outside of the sub continent. MS Dhoni is looking to attack at the other end, the perfect foil for the watchful opener to continue on his merry way."
Of course, it wasn't all about the cricket. Trent Bridge welcomed fans from across the world to witness the first day, as well as some of the biggest names in sport tuning in.
While it's easy to be drawn in by big names, the bright and colourful cricket fans have witnessed every ball today, as well as being drawn in by entertainment on the concourses.
Day two promises to provide excitement, colour, discussion and debate. Stay tuned to Trent Bridge Live and get closer to the first Investec Test than ever before.
