I think that side looks better now, with some experience sprinkled in. Malan showed he was the right call at 3.

Mo Vice-Captain

Shows how there's no obvious regular FEC in the squad

Great batting performance by the England Women tonight.
(Even though the NZ catching was dreadful)

Shame that Tammy Beaumont fell just short of her century. One of my favourite current cricketers.

Woakesy!…1st over back in Test cricket gets Rohit Sharma to edge one. India 28-1

[KNVillan]

Good morning session for England. India 54-3 at lunch

Thakur has got them back into this, and we need to respond, we should be doing ODI/T20 bowling at him right now.

[KNVillan]

Good comeback by England after that brutal assault by Thakur. India 191 all out and as I type England have just lost their first wicket, 5-1

Edit: 6-2

[manic-road]

Not a great start for England, two down already.

[paul_e]

Poor from both of the openers again, Burns looked a mess at the crease and Hameed just needed to ignore the one that got him, I get he scored a few like that in the last match but then he hadn't just seen his partner go cheaply, it's not a sensible scoring shot at 6-1 chasing a small target on day 1.

Who is the co-commentator with Michael Holding? So softly spoken - difficult to catch all he says

[PaulWinch again]

Not good from the openers, but just need to stick in.

[PaulWinch again]

Someone other than Root will need to do the business.

[KNVillan]

Evening session belonged to India…a good comeback by them

[manic-road]

Pretty even overall on the balance of play, we need to bat all day tomorrow but can't see it happening.

Now we’re in trouble. We’re facing a first innings deficit here.
