And so it begins
ENG: 15-1 after 6 overs
5.6 Hazlewood to Rory Burns, out Caught by Warner!! And so it begins..Hazlewood at it again. Short of length, cuts away sharply from Burns who fences it through to first slip. Tried taking his bottom hand off but it was to no avail as it carried at a very comfortable height. No mistakes from Warner as he maintains his perfect catching record in this Test match. Rory Burns c Warner b Hazlewood 7(21)

It's a conjunction. It's unusual to start a sentence with 'and', but you do sometimes see it. 'It' means the collapse of the England batsmen.
