Looks an awful starter does Sibley either seems to get a few or get very little at the moment for Sibley.

Imagine the same is true of most openers against this Indian attack though, Bumrah and Ishant is a pretty handy opening pair. Sibley is always going to look ropey until he's got a few with the technique he has.

Conversely, how good does Crawley look? Another one like Root and Pope I could watch bat all day.

It’s early days for Crawley but he looks technically pretty good. Plays quite tight to his body

Sake... Would have been nice for somebody to bat time before Root came in for a change.

At least Bairstow wasn’t bowled. Progress.

"I've been working hard on new modes of dismissal" generally something you want to hear from your bowlers 😂

Wicket looks an absolute road. If we get shot out on this we won’t be batting again until day 4.

Looks another dreadful wicket with dust flying everywhere, the ball going through the top and inconsistent bounce on the first morning of a test match.

Must have been a very difficult call for England to play one spinner given how dry this surface is.  I think it is more a reflection of the faith in Bess than the need for 4 seamers nut Broad may have success because it is hard to see the bounce getting anything other than more inconsistent as the game goes on

There’s some spin, a bit of movement and signs of uneven bounce plenty there for the bowlers

We are going to have to rely on Root again here I think to get us something decent

I'm hoping for another big score from Zak 'Son of Trescothick' Crawley 😅
