Eng vs India - First Test - 20th-24th June


Not sure on this toss decision like, the old adage is that if it's a good pitch you bat first, if it's an average pitch you bat first and if it's a crap pitch, you still bat first.

Would expect the pitch to take spin days 4/5 and the weather for those days is indifferent, which could see the pitch break up and even a bit of dampness at times. In short, I don't think I'd fancy batting last when I could have been batting today.
 
Stats on this ground has the last 6 tests all won by the team bowling first

Shastri is well happy india get first use to bat though

It’s 27 for 0 off 10
 
Could be a long day in hot weather really struggle with Tongues selection.

Always not sure how they get away with describing Carse as right arm fast. He touches 90 when in full flow but not out and out quick like Wood.
