What would England be eyeing in the first session?

 

Ben Stokes would want his fate bowlers James Anderson and Mark Wood to deliver in the first session and get at least 3-4 wickets before the pitch becomes flat for batting. Ideally, England would not want to concede a lead greater than 100 runs here.

How Did the English innings collapse on Day 1 of the Dharamsala Test?

 

Once Bairstow got out, Root followed in the very next over as he was trapped by Ravindra Jadeja. Ben Stokes’ run of poor form continued and he was once again out to a spinner. Hartley, who had shown some resistance in the first three Tests, could not get going for the second time in a row and from 175/3 England became 183/7. 

 

Ben Foakes then salvaged some pride as he added 35 for the ninth wicket with Shoaib Bashir, but once again wasted a good start and what could have been 250 at least, ended in 218 all-out after Anderson could last just four balls.

How Did the English innings start on Day 1 of the Dharamsala Test?

 

Day 1 was all about Indian spinners even though England started on a bright note with their openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley once again adding more than 50 for the first wicket. However, it was not only the fall of the fourth English wicket in the form of Jonny Bairstow that things started to change. Till then the English were still intact and looking good to score near about 300 at least.
