England are pottering along quite nicely so far, albeit with the loss of Cook from some really nice spin bowling into the early damp. But no top order collapse. India’s quicks aren’t really giving the ball much chance to swing. And I don’t know that there’s be consistent turn for the spinners, so England could do well batting first. Jennings is back, which I’m in favour of. I admire his gangly stylings. ---
