Cricket: England produced some rapid scoring at the start of the first Test against India at Lord's.
Openers Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss charged the total to 76 without loss in the first hour, after captain Michael Vaughan won his fifth toss in a row in Test cricket.
England have declared here for scores of 553, 528 and 551 in their previous three Tests and have passed 500 in their first innings in five of their last six.
Despite left-armer Zaheer Khan beginning with a maiden, a boundary glut resulted in 40 runs coming from the next four.
Injured England fast bowler Matthew Hoggard will have his back injury reassessed on Monday.
The 30-year-old was ruled out after suffering discomfort in the build-up. He underwent an MRI scan yesterday which revealed irritation in a disc in his back.
"His rehabilitation will be closely monitored over the next five days and he will be re-assessed by ECB medical staff on Monday," read an England statement.
