But it is 3 spinner havens & a pace bowler wicket for the day night test.
Iāll go with Rohit Sharmaās opinion thb

Thatās actually really annoying.
I have a dodgy stream backup site that you can find sport channels on but not ENT Channels C4 is down to just Mobdro & casting which our domestic wifi finds extremely difficult to do reliably
Canāt you get Star Sports India?
Not on windows sites.
We have internet via a 40 year old copper cable then basically a Faraday cage with poured concrete for the walls. Even putting a decent ENT in place of the crap home router hasnt helped
They are doing cables & 5G.
But not by Friday
Saves him getting dropped after the 1st

Well, I didnāt have any faith that Englandās openers would see off the first hour. So thatās a positive early milestone.
Stayed up all night to be sure not to miss the start, and have just breakfasted on ice cream. In case anyone was wondering how holiday in lockdown was going.

Oh bugger, just getting ready to type something about how well the first session had gone, then Burns flollops at one.
Pitch is doing bugger all so we really had to give one away.

And now Lawrence gone for 0, LBW. Iām still blaming Burnās brain-fade for this. We could (and should) be going in for no loss. Weāve gifted them a sniff at this.

Me oh my, interesting but ultimately frustrating 1st session. Englandās openers played pretty much immaculately for an hour and 50. Then Burns played a needlessly expressive reverse sweep, missed it horribly and gloved it over his own head. Bringing Lawrence in for a surprise 10 minute shift and India had him before his eye was in.
Still, Sibley playing well, nullifying the spin. And Root is hopefully still in good nick.
67-2

Ah, thatās better. Comprehensively Englandās session. Slow going, and India have worked hard to stifle the runs. But Root and Sibley are tiring the bowlers. Sibley playing an excellent, controlled openerās role for his 50. Root starting to squeeze Ashwin. Itās going to be attritional.

Root gets hits his 50, with a decent confident drive against Nadeem, helped by a misfield.

Smashing knock. We were on our heels a bit when he came in and that was a proper captainās display.
