Today's first test match England team has been caught by the Indian spinners. The England team was initially scoring runs at a fast pace but then India's one of the best spinner Ravichandran Ashwin hit the England team for 55 runs. England team is currently collecting 155 runs for six wickets in 48.2 overs. The three spin bowlers of the Indian team took six of the six wickets that England lost. Ravichandran Ashwin Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja took six wickets for England.

England team now starts their batting in the second season let's see how well they can play against the Indian spinners today.

Yes, you are right they started well but lost the momentum when Ashwin and Jadeja started to bowl. They are struggling now as they have lost 7 wickets till now and have been only able to get 160 runs. The situation has changed so much for them that I do not think they will get to 200 runs if they continue to lose wickets. After lunch, they lost 4 wickets and now the Bhumrah has taken a wicket which means the lower order will be more in trouble now.

England team has already collected 215 runs. I thought maybe England would lose all the wickets before getting 200 runs. But Ben Stokes is batting very responsibly. Stokes is still unbeaten with 43 runs. However, if England manage to muster something like 250, it will be a pretty good total to contend with. The pitch seems to be completely spin friendly.

India's two experienced pace bowlers managed to pick up just one wicket out of eight wickets. Mohammad Siraj has not taken any wicket yet. The Indian captain is also not keen on using his pace bowlers. Burmah bowled just 7 overs and Siraj bowled 4 overs.
Jadeja managed to pick up 3 wickets, Ashwin and Patel managed to pick up two wickets each.

From 137/6, England actually managed to put up a decent score at the time of tea with some very useful contribution from tails along with Ben stokes. At tea, the scores are 215/8 and if they can add another 30+ runs then it will give some confidence to fight back from their bowling unit.

The big hits already started to flow in the last 30 minutes prior to tea, and it will be good to watch if Ben stokes can keep continue to do it for a while.

The first Test match between India and England has already started.In the first Test match between India and England, the England team is batting first in their first season.Right now, England team has collected 21 runs without losing any wicket in 3.2 overs.At such a stage, their average runs are 6.3 per over.They have been scoring great runs so far.The opening batsmen for the England team are Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley.

England have so far lost eight wickets for 215 runs in 59 overs. I don't see patient players in England team as no player has scored a half century so far. The England team is under heavy wicket pressure at the moment as the two batsmen standing at the current crease are not reliable batsmen. They basically expect to lose a complete wicket on the first day of bowling so I don't favor England as a good team. As a Test match is essentially a wicket-keeping match where you have to have enough performance to perform for a long time, I don't see any signs of this in any of the England batsmen.

The 2nd Test match of Australia vs West Indies team has already started. West Indies team now comes to bat. They scored 196 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 51.3 overs. Now the West Indies team is under pressure with the loss of 4 wickets. Mitchell Starc of Australia team says 12.5 overs.  Took 3 wickets with 44 runs. Josh Hazlewood took 1 wicket with 14 runs from 11 overs. Pat Cummins took 1 wicket with 39 runs from 11 overs.

Australia vs West Indies 2nd Test is currently in dinner break. West Indies won the toss and went to bat first. West Indies were under a lot of pressure when the team lost five wickets after 64 runs. Kavem Hodge and Joshua Da Silva put on an 81-run partnership for the sixth wicket, taking their team score to 146/5. Hope to extend the partnership after the break. All five wickets fell with the Page bowlers, with Mitchell Starc taking three wickets, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood one each. I think West Indies will be limited to 230-260 runs.

Today, after 13 long years in the history of India, Tests were held without Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajiyenka Rahane. In 2011, the trio was included in the squad against the West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, but after 13 years, the Indian Test squad has been announced without any of the trio.

Without these three, Rohit Sharma's team got off to a great start against England today under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. They managed to bowl out England for 246 runs in the first innings. Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Oscar Patel took a total of eight wickets in the first innings.

Today is not one of the good day for the Team England. They are all out at only 246 runs making a poor start in this first test match. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets each and put the England team on real backfoot. If we check the batting performances by the England team, there is nothing to be talk about expect their captain, Ben Stokes.

Ben Stokes made 70 runs. He was looking good at a strike rate of 79, which is quite extra ordinary when you know it is a test match. He was bowled by Bumrah finally and shattered the dreams of England scoring some high runs. There was not any partnership that could have saved them. All it took 64 overs to get all team out for England. Very poor batting performance by them. They have been in the bad form since the World Cup.

The 2nd Test match of Australia vs West Indies team has already started. West Indies team now comes to bat. They scored 196 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 51.3 overs. Now the West Indies team is under pressure with the loss of 4 wickets. Mitchell Starc of Australia team says 12.5 overs.  Took 3 wickets with 44 runs. Josh Hazlewood took 1 wicket with 14 runs from 11 overs. Pat Cummins took 1 wicket with 39 runs from 11 overs.

The West Indies lost five wickets for 65 runs, a great batting disaster but so far no wickets have fallen in West Indies' 145. Kavem Hodge 45* and Joshua da Silva unbeaten on 37*. A big partnership of 81 runs was formed between them. If they can go through the next third session unbeaten today, West Indies' run score can go up to 250 plus. But the five batsmen of West Indies' top order could not stand in front of the Australian presser( Pat Commins , Hazelwood, Mitchell starc)in today's match.

Australia's bowling line-up was very good early on, as a result of which the West Indies' top-order batsmen were dismissed quickly. West Indies batsmen should have batted patiently. However, the way West Indies were losing wickets at the start, it looked like West Indies might not survive the second season today. However, West Indies have so far scored 178 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 68 overs thanks to the excellent performances of Joshua Da Silva and Kavem Hodge. Joshua Da Silva and Kavem Hodge are unbeaten on 59 and 55 respectively. Let's see how many runs West Indies can score.

In the second Test match between Australia and West Indies, the West Indies team has been batting very well so far.The way the West Indies batted initially looked like they would be all out for 150 but they were still batting very patiently.If we look at their scorecard we can see that they lost five wickets out of 64 runs and from there they collected 188 runs for five wickets which is a really great batting performance.

The West Indies team has resumed batting in the third season and their two best batsmen in the team, Joshua da Silva and Kavem Hodge, are still unbeaten and both have completed their fifties.

The two batsmen have already managed to put on a big partnership of 138 runs, overcoming the same pressure that the Australian pacers were able to put on the West Indies batsmen in the beginning. Both the batsmen have already got a great familiarity with the pitch and are beginning to understand the movement of the ball. 5 West Indies batsmen were dismissed very quickly as the wicket had a lot of turnover early in the matchgoes Later these two batsmen (Joshua da Silva & Hodge) continued to bat in defensive mood. However, they have already achieved success and both have scored fifties and their target will be to both score centuries. More than 10 overs are still to be played before the end of the day so a century is not possible for them today.

In the first Test match between India and England, India bowled very well and bowled England out for just 246 runs. England team's batting failure again England team is not able to do their batting well, England team started their batting disaster from 2023 world cup and till now their batsmen could not bat well. Since England is playing a Test series against India, England's batsmen should have better partnerships to give India a bigger lead. I think this 246 runs won't be much of a problem for India. India are batting with a lead of 246 runs, no doubt they can bat well because we all know that India's batting line is very strong. India's current score is 119 runs for one wicket with 22 overs to play.

Yes, England team's batting performance was not very good today, they were all out for only 246 runs against India. We all know that India is a very strong cricket team yet this series is being played in their home soil for which they are getting an added advantage. Although the England team is not batting well, the Indian team is batting well. One opener of India is out but another opener is still not out.India's young opening batsman Jaswal is still unbeaten on seventy-Six runs and may be on his way to completing his century when the game starts tomorrow.

Ohh no Alzarri Joseph caughtout bowled by Josh Hazelwood.
There were only two balls left but Alzarri Joseph couldn't keep himself safe. If he could defend these two balls today, he would get a chance to bat in the first session on the second day. He started well and was able to add 32 runs to the West Indies score but could not keep himself intact and was caught out by Smith while pushing Hazlewood's ball. Anyway, West Indies got off to a great start in today's second Test and ended the first day with 266 for the loss of 8 wickets.

I just want to say WTF...

England team did decent job in their batting and their batting was complete disaster until 2022 in the test format, then only they took Bazball concept and doing extraordinary well in their home and away conditions as well.

Don't confuse ODI and test format and moreover current test squad only have Ben stokes and Mark Wood from WC 2023 and every other players are different.

[Haunebu]

India are all set to decimate the English as expected in the first test courtesy of some fine bowling spells by literally every bowler except Siraj who wasn't given many overs by Rohit which makes complete sense.

On the other hand, the Windies put up a good fight in the first innings when they looked like they would get all our under 150 at one point. Go Windies!

[Bureau]

What a game of stupidity did I watched today from England 😁

Winning the toss and then getting out in just 246 is completely undesirable. Everyone lost their wicket because of their stupidity from the English side except Ben Stokes. He come late down the order but he kept his calmness and only targeted balls that were bad from the bowlers. Indian team looks tight and they would be tomorrow as I am expecting na century from Jaiswal and a half century from Gill.

The second Test match between West Indies and Australia is shaping up to be great. In the first test match West Indies team lost badly against Australia but in the second test match they might turn around and try to fight well in this test match. The West Indies cricket team has been batting well so far as they have scored 266 runs for eight wickets. Two of the West Indies batsmen were dismissed after coming close to a century. But Alzarri Joseph of the West Indies team batted today in T20 style, he scored 32 runs from only 22 balls today.

In the first Test between India and England, India went into bat after England were bowled out for 246, with India trailing England by 127 runs at the end of the first day. Indian spin bowlers especially Ravindra Jadeja, Ashwin, Axar bowled well and they took 8 wickets collectively, also Bumrah got 2 wickets. No batsman could collect much except Ben Stokes 77 runs for England. In India's first innings, Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 24 runs in the team's 80 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal can convert his unbeaten 70-ball 76 into a century tomorrow and Shubman Gill will probably try to collect big for the team with him.

The West Indies team did not perform well in the first Test match losing wickets very quickly. In the second test match too, West Indies batsmen lost 5 wickets after 100 runs. Looking at the game at that time, it seemed that the West Indies team would be all out before they could even score 200 runs. With the amazing batting of these two, Kavem Hodge and Joshua, the West Indies team will be able to put up a fairly good score  Against Australia. Kavem Hodge scored 71 runs off 194 balls and Joshua scored 79 runs off 157 balls. If the West Indies team can give Australia a lead of around 300 runs, the game will be competitive.

England vs India Test match England scored 246 runs in the first innings on the first day. Although the England team could not score much runs today because it is never possible to expect to win with so little cooking in the test match, if a few more batsmen like Stokes of the England team could have batted well in today's match, it would have been possible to win. Stokes scored 70 runs off 88 balls and his batting performance was excellent, but not all the other players batted so well. Anyway, the Indian team has given a target of 246 runs to India, but we know that India is a very good team at present, and the Indian team is batting hard to meet today's target. Having lost a wicket in the second innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal, one of India's best batsmen, is still at the crease so it is expected that he will be able to complete the target easily. Yashasvi Jaiswal has already batted brilliantly and scored 76 off 70 balls, the way India are batting in today's match they are sure to build a good lead. Only 127 runs left for India to meet England's target at the moment will easily meet this target.

The West Indies lost five wickets on the first day despite coming into the second innings, a sign of the stupidest loss of wickets in a Test match. Basically, the main goal in test matches is to keep wickets for a long time, but the West Indies team did the opposite and could not keep wickets at all. West Indies team indulged in poor performance to score 266 runs while Australia team did their bowling performance so well that they put West Indies team under a lot of pressure. Now all the batsmen in the current crease are not reliable players, maybe they can meet the maximum target of 300 runs by the second day. If the target of 300 runs can be given to the Australian team, then the players of the Australian team will not be under pressure.
