Just a bit of movement which is helping us, Not suggesting Curran should be on but he can get it back in to the right handers….in between some through downs  :)

Even Curran is looking threatening in these conditions! Wonder why Kohli chose to bat first?

Difficult call for Kholi, pretty dry, good forecast, clear day for batting.
But there is a bit of movement.

Would have preferred to see Mahmood as the fourth seamer rather then Overton.  Overton seems a rather safety first call given he is less likely to go for runs and is a better fielder and batsman but not really what is needed in a Test England have to win.

We’re in dreamland here but we do have to bat so perhaps not time to get too excited

Kudos to the English bowlers for sticking to a plan and bowling in a disciplined manner, lead by Jimmy the GOAT! Very interested to see how England fare on this pitch now.

Saw real Indian batting skills today. If not for Shami Bumrah magic in one session, 2nd test was England's for the taking. 1st test could have gone either way. And to think that these games are 2nd string Eng vs full strength Ind side or really 2 Eng players vs full strength Ind side.
Can see why 4-0 prediction for Eng was not a far away call.
