They already got 41 bonus runs. Only Shami is a magical bowler in these conditions due to his seam presentation and movement. HE is somethign else. These guys should not have been 4 overs

Now Indian cricket fans know shami value
 
On Indian pitches you can never predict things. It will all look seemingly easily. Suddenly you will go boom boom
 
Zak Crawley is a bit quiet now but Duckett is all over the Indian bowlers atm.
 
Great start to the series. Indians already under pressure as I expected.
 
England innings will unravel very fast once Ashwin etc get their stuff going.

Do din kee chandnee, phir andheri raat hai!
 
Even there is day light gap btw bat n ball they do check ultraedge.. then why they don't directly go-to it?
 
Another leftie swallowed byA shwin.

Duckett vs Ashwin

3 dismissals 17 runs. 5.7 average.

He owns him just like he owns Stokes/Warner
 
Duckett vs Ashwin (after today's dismissal):

4 innings
48 balls
17 runs
4 dismissals
 
Ashwin has so many varioations, you might dominate him, but tiny bit of loss of concetration, and you are back in pavilion. He is really really good in India.
 
Bharat averages 18.42 in 5 tests.

Very very lucky to still be in the side considering the incredible line of talent waiting for that wicketkeeper batsman slot
Ishan, Samson, Jurel, Pant, Jitesh, etc (though i am not sure of their test credentials)
 
Sub continent
West Indies as well. You cannot say he is not good in NZ as he played only one innings where he took 3 wickets. IN England missed so many matches. He was good there. In Australia played a vital role in test wins. IN those parts India goes with 4 seamers so you can't expect him to run through sides. SA is his achilles heel as they make sure there is zero turn there when India tours
 
Pope is in at No 3, playing for the first time since the second Ashes Test at Lord’s in June after dislocating his shoulder in that match.
 
The key here is to keep rotating the strike.

---------------------

“Batting is so comfortable when you can rotate strike, especially against the spinners,” said Kevin Pietersen on commentary
 
Need 2 more wickets at least in morning session to put Bazball under serious pressure .

I disagree on any doubt about Pant. But others, yes.
 
This is going to be some exmaination for Root. Him being senior cannot be reckless here in the name of bazball. He can induce a collapse. Ashwin has nailed stokes 11 times in Tests.
 
Although Root has semi decent record in India he has some failures as well mostly due to sweep attempts.
 
They can't play spin at all.

No need to give them free runs with pacers, Ashwin and Jadeja are going to pile up the wickets in this series.
 
Nothing is gift in bazball. That is the tradeoff they are willing to live with.
That's not Bazball. That's Idiotball. You not only take the situation into consideration but also where you are playing and what the pitch is doing.

This is one of those shots which confirms - you cannot win a test on day one but you can lose it.

They think they can bully bowlers with such style of play. Problem is they are up against decade old veteran spin partners who know how to bide time.
 
Bairstow will play like how he plays in the IPL for some time. But Jaddu will be his biggest threat.
 
England not good to play traditional test that's why they play odi cricket in test and that is bazball
 
Bairstow is going hell for leather. Did the same in the epic 377 chase. Hanuma Vihari put down a sitter in slips when he in his 10s. He went on to make a 100 and win the test.
