IND vs ENG Live: Pitch report

“Day one was a story of two halves, there was plenty of help in the first session but it eased out as the day progressed. England are absolutely delighted with their position, scoring 200 runs on this surface. But as we said it has played better than it has looked. The balls that have kept low have been outside off-stump apart from the one Stokes got. There is one crack right in the middle around the short of good length and the ball will misbehave if the ball lands there. It is difficult to play horizontal bat shots and playing with a straight bat is the way to go. This is not a Bazball pitch,” says Graeme Swann and Deep Dasgupta.

IND vs ENG Live: Here’s what Akash Deep said before the start of the play

“I wasn’t nervous, had spoken with my coaches, so I wasn’t tense ahead of the game. I don’t know how it happened, but I used to take every game as my last game and tried my best. Bumrah bhai  advised me to drag the length back slightly (in international cricket), that’s exactly what I did. I felt bad (on the no-ball), I was just hoping that the team doesn’t lose because of that (since Crawley was batting well). There was a bit of help early on, but the ball became soft and the wicket was slow as well. We just tried to be as tight as possible and bowl in the right areas.”

IND vs ENG Live: India aim to bounce back

Despite conceding 300+ runs on Day 1, Team India will look to bounce back on Day 2 and bundle out England at the earliest. They will aim to control Joe Root’s good outing with the bat. Apart from this, the Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal also need to play a brilliant knock.
