India scored 80/3 in the first session of the 1st practice game against County select XI in Durham. 

Winning the toss and batting first, India got off to a good start as both Rohit Sharma, who is leading the team in the absence of Virat Kohli, and Mayank Agarwal played their shots. However, the stand-in captain Sharma mistimed a pull and got out on nine. 

Agarwal hit six boundaries during his 28-run inning before Lyndon James found the gap between bat and pad and removed the Indian opener. Cheteshwar Pujara looked positive during his 47-ball-21 before getting stumped. 

Hanuma Vihari(16) and KL Rahul(5) are currently at the crease, trying to build a partnership. 

Brief Score: 

India - 80/3 in 29 overs (Mayank Agarwal - 28, Lyndon James - 2/13)
