a couple of lucky wickets for SHAMI after ASHWIN knocked over COOK early. 112/3 with run rate just below 3. ROOT is still out there.

England 285-9 at Stumps day 1. Saw the last 4-5 overs. Looks a reasonable surface. Not overly quick, but a bit of movement for the quicks and spinners alike. Very Even, India just in front with their long batting lineup with Ashwin and Pandya in as all rounders. England will want some clouds tomorrow for Jimmy and Broad to do their stuff.....

Pattern with England, cruising until Root goes for a score between 60 and 99 (run out this time) then disintegration, losing 4-27. Thankfully Curran dug in or they would have been rolled for about 260. India on top, but not exactly known for cashing in on good positions in England since the mid 80s.

i expect the indian batting to flop. I wouldn't be surprised at all if India gets packed for less than 200. I couldn't watch last day's play but I am going to find highlights now. I am a bit surprised as I thought England would score 400+. I am also surprised that Ashwin got 4 wickets. What happened to Bhuvi? Is he out for the whole series? |

I think India will score at least 200. No real demons in this pitch, and Rashid won’t worry the Indians an iota. Curran and Stokes will need to bowl really tight to keep England in it.

India reach 50 without loss going a tick less than 5 an over. Not looking good for the home side.

As I said India can collapse and I think they will collapse soon. India could be reeling soon.

Well chopping an innocuous floater about a metre and a half outside off stump onto your stumps with a flat batted broom is certainly not a sign of confidence.

They believe it's miss or hit. Even Sehwag and Warner were not great in all conditions. Simply bad batting by KL Rahul. Horrible. More will follow. Indians don't have confidence nor technique. |

It's funny reading cricinfo as almost every entry is in bold. Seems like demons are running in minds of Indians. Nothing new though. They should play Pant instead of Karthik.
