We're massive, we're taking over the world.

50 for Hameed, great stuff.

 

Isn't this the area of India where his family's from too? Absolute fairytale.

[TheSomersetFox]

Hameed already looking like the best partner Cook's had since Strauss, very good signs

[leicsmac]

Well done Hameed, fantastic stuff. Might the opener conundrum finally be solved?

Steady, this is a dream pitch.

Hameed looks very assured, all the qualities you need to be a good batsman- temperament, technique, decision-making, awareness.

 

It's early days, but sometimes you can tell whether somebody is going to make it or not- just looks like he will score big runs, where the likes of Lyth, Compton and Hales didn't.

[Guest MattP]

Really enjoyed that last session, not playing Hameed in Bangladesh looks a right clanger, early days but what a start, looks to have it all, the confidence to pelt Jadeja for six as well that early, baby Boycs?!

 

Interesting tomorrow, see what the pitch is doing and if it starts spitting let's put some pressure on them, would be nice to set a marker.

Cheer up!

 

At least you got 25 more than at Trent Bridge.

Was hoping we'd get to the draw a bit more comfortably than losing 4 wickets [emoji23]. Been quite an enjoyable test match to start the series off with. Hameed looks a great talent.

looks like England will have to work hard and try to get a draw with India after only the first day with the hosts getting over 300 with only four wickets lost. teams are certainly able to pile on the runs on these pitches

What happens when you lose the toss in India; Exhibit A.

[foxy boxing]

England mess it up again, up again, up again

England mess it up again, oh well never mind

another batting collapse

watch out England are collapsing "Timber"

[surrifox]

Some brainless batting as well . Can't just blame the pitch 

[TheSomersetFox]

I fancy these 2 to smash tons tomorrow in fairness. The game is 99% gone though.

[RowlattsFox]

If the opposition gets a high first innings score batting first we are always in trouble, no matter what the pitch is like.
