India vs England Live Score, First Test Day 1: Hello and welcome!
India vs England Live Score, First Test Day 1: India tried Bazball during their postponed fifth Test in England in 2022. They were ahead for much of that match, but then got a taste of what can happen when you let This England team dictate terms for even the shortest periods of a game. Before anyone knew what was happening, England’s target of 378 began to look much smaller than it actually was, which was their biggest successful chase in over a century of playing Test cricket. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow clubbed an unbeaten stand of 269 runs in just 316 balls, with the former scoring 142 in 173 and the latter scoring 114 in 145.
But this time, England will be asked to play that way in India, where their opponents have lost just three Tests in more than a decade. India have teased several world-class Test teams at home since England beat them here in 2012/13. The Ashwin-Jadeja duo has entered a group occupied by the likes of Wasim-Waqar, Ambrose-Walsh, Muralitharan-Vaas and Warne-McGrath in terms of bowling numbers of almost all kinds. Furthermore, the duo also has something that the other legendary names on this list didn’t have. Both are genuinely capable batsmen and very adept at countering Indian conditions that explode with ball in hand. In recent years, Axar Patel has joined this attack and diminished his batting power, and add to this the fact that India have Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj ready to attack anything they have; It’s pretty clear that Bazball or not, there’s still a lot to do. There are few greater challenges in cricket than winning a Test here. But turning around a dwindling England was seen as an insurmountable challenge and Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum appear to have done well in that regard. Can they surprise the Indians here? As Sunil Gavaskar recently said, the first day here in Hyderabad could give us a lot of the answer to that question. So, join the journey, let’s find these answers together.
