The first Test match between India and England has already started.In the first Test match between India and England, the England team is batting first in their first season.Right now, England team has collected 21 runs without losing any wicket in 3.2 overs.At such a stage, their average runs are 6.3 per over.They have been scoring great runs so far.The opening batsmen for the England team are Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley.
England have so far lost eight wickets for 215 runs in 59 overs. I don't see patient players in England team as no player has scored a half century so far. The England team is under heavy wicket pressure at the moment as the two batsmen standing at the current crease are not reliable batsmen. They basically expect to lose a complete wicket on the first day of bowling so I don't favor England as a good team. As a Test match is essentially a wicket-keeping match where you have to have enough performance to perform for a long time, I don't see any signs of this in any of the England batsmen.
Today is not one of the good day for the Team England. They are all out at only 246 runs making a poor start in this first test match. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets each and put the England team on real backfoot. If we check the batting performances by the England team, there is nothing to be talk about expect their captain, Ben Stokes.
Ben Stokes made 70 runs. He was looking good at a strike rate of 79, which is quite extra ordinary when you know it is a test match. He was bowled by Bumrah finally and shattered the dreams of England scoring some high runs. There was not any partnership that could have saved them. All it took 64 overs to get all team out for England. Very poor batting performance by them. They have been in the bad form since the World Cup.
