Pappu hits a 4.

Why are our batsman not wearing the new protective helmets with flap.

[hopeforthebest]

Lots of pace from Woakes but no swing or seam from either bowler. Looks a batsman's wicket today.

[meninblue]

Well reviewed Pappu

[meninblue]

Nicely driven through covers by P P.

Moeen bowls a head height full toss. No ball.

[hopeforthebest]

Woakes replaced by Moeen after 3 overs, not sure a 3 over spell is sufficient for a pace bowler to get into a rhyme.

Batsmen really like to gift wickets to Stokes.

atm we'll take them any way we can get them

57/1. Not bad but we need a big partnership.

[hopeforthebest]

I get the impression that Woakes is too concentrated on tying to live up to his reputation as England's quickest bowler to the detriment of his accuracy. It was his nagging line an length and his surprise quick well directed short ball that impressed in his first game.

[hopeforthebest]

Woakes bowling in the low 80;s after lunch but he and Rashid at the other end not looking very threatening.

[hopeforthebest]

Rashid disputes my claim and gets Patel LBW. Now Kohli joins Pujara, hmm.

[shankycricket]

BCCI batting looks pretty ordinary after this pair (with Rahane out of nick). Get Kohli here and England have a real opening.
