Looking good for India if they can add enough runs in the morning 350+ is going to be a very good score.

Great to see some fans in the ground.

Said before the game that the team winning the toss would be in the box seat and so it is proving. Think England were good in patches but have let India score too many runs too quickly. It'll be a mammoth task just to get a competitive score on the board for England, and at this early stage, I can't see anything other than India levelling the series. They have much better spinners than we do and i think they will cause havoc from the first over. Their fast bowlers are pretty good too and they are the best team around at the moment for me, especially on their own patch.

Mind you, I didn't think we would win the first test, so what do I know?

A good summing up I reckon. Hard to disagree with any of that. They’ve produced a wicket for a result in their favour no doubt. Doing far too much for a day 1 wicket though for definite.

Welcome back England. Oh how we have missed you. As quintessentially English as a fry up with a mug of sweet tea there’s nothing like a batting England collapse to set you up for the day.

....a really poor test match wicket mind.

Normal service with the bat resumes, if only we played the best bowler in the world run chase wouldn’t of been out of reach.

Soon as we lost the toss it was game over on that pitch. Their spinners are almost unplayable on a surface like that, same as our swing and seam bowlers are in England when the conditions are right.

Absolutely correct. It would be difficult to beat India in those conditions with swanny and monty in their pomp let alone Moeen and leach who are under baked for different reasons.
As soon as England got in to a winning position in the first test you knew this would be a raging bunsen burner.

Talking about batting until tea tomorrow.

I think India could declare now and still win easy.

15000 crowd great !!

Let's hope we can get some crowds at our sporting games later in year.

There has been some shocking decisions in this game. How that was playing a shot I will never know. 🤬
