106/8 Ben Foakes has looked solid.
As for the pitch, well it’s not good for test cricket to be honest. It looks like it’s been prepared especially for the Indians. You want to see a fairer match, and this is not! Ashwin is from Chennai/Madras, and it’s been carefully prepared for him. It’s playing like a Day 5 pitch, and should not be doing what it’s doing end of Day 1 and 2.
There is not reverse swing like the first match, and I’m sure the next venue, is being carefully prepared for the Indian team up in Ahmedabad.
Big shame, because this had the makings of a very good high quality test series.
