We present 610-MHz Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations of 0.84 deg$^{2}$ of the AMI001 field (centred on 00$^{h}$23$^{m}$10$^{s}$, +31°53′) with an rms noise of 18 μJy beam$^{-1}$ in the centre of the field. A total of 955 sources are detected, and 814 are included in the source count analysis. The source counts from these observations are consistent with previous work. We have used these data to study the spectral index distribution of a sample of sources selected at 15.7 GHz from the recent deep extension to the Tenth Cambridge (10C) survey. The median spectral index, α, (where S ∝ ν$^{−α}$) between 0.08
