Speaking of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, I have not checked the Proteas up and coming test schedule and who they will be playing, but hopefully it does involve these two teams. I'm not saying that they are will be very super easy wins, but the chance for good WTC points to get to a final again are on the table.

First test (of five!!!) between England and India about to get underway from Headingly.

England has won the toss and will bowl.

India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna

England (Playing XI): Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes(c), Jamie Smith(w), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir

This English bowling attack seems a bit toothless (at the moment) without the likes of Broad, Anderson and Wood. Indian openers looking very comfortable.

2 quick wickets now.

Seems they learned nothing from last wtc. Woefully behind the overrate even with the spinner bowling 15 overs.

Is it a batting paradise or are India about to hand England their assess at Headingley?

 

[RunningFromFat]

India, I like Gill and Jaiswal. But always got time to watch a Root masterclass as well.

Want India to win and root score runs.
England leadership way too arrogant to like.

Bowl at the stumps Bumrah because your fielders can’t catch.

 

[Creag]

Definitely day 2 to England. India have somehow squandered their position after day 1.

 

[Maurice Kitching]

Steady on.

 

[Creag]

No ball!

 

[3WA]

Steady on.

When they do catch, it’s a no-ball.

 

[sand_man]

India have been dismal in the field, specifically their catching. Their fielding is usually quite sharp...

The pitch is not giving the bowlers anything hey. It's hard hard work for the bowling team.
