The strike by members of the British Medical Association (BMA) began at 07:00 BST and lasts until Tuesday.
It is the junior doctors' fifth strike in the pay dispute in England.
NHS Providers said services were at tipping point because covering the junior doctor strikes had cost an estimated £1bn, as well leading to thousands of postponed treatments. BBC News
