I don’t usually barrack for England, but against these serial appealers/whiners/whingers/sooks I’m all in.

Same, hopefully the Poms give them a belting and make them cry like babies.

Apparently Virat Kholi gave Joe Root a bit of a send off when he ran him out. Might get a little spicy when Virat comes out to bat today. Should be good viewing.

Also blew him a kiss, sledged him, and put his finger to his lips......all behind Root's back as he walked off.

I’m amazed the poms would prepare a pitch that turns so much on day 1......against India.

Reckon I heard before the series that it had been dry and warm over there and pitches may not suit the Poms as much as usual at home.

What I would give to see Kohli batting on a bouncy WACA wicket against a couple of Lillee/Thomo types...

Sabina Park v Marshall, Holding and Garner. He'd look funny trying to blow a kiss with a few teeth missing.

My two least favourite international teams... I hate the poms, but I hate the curry munchers more. Get into them you pasty poms!

The Poms are alot more tolerable than the Indians IMO.

Sam Curran ...... getting it done. Thrpe poms will be all over Kholi here

Great nut from Curran to nick up Dhawan. Bit of arrogance there from Dhawan to initially go hard at the ball and nick up having that delivery go for four only to nick up two balls later really going hard at Curran again. Not enough respect shown from the Indians towards Curran who is swinging it around nicely.

Great battle here, Anderson v Kolhi. Worth the price of admission itself.

Turn the bloody sprinklers on.

If Stokes is going to bowl short then there has to be a third man in place. Money for jam.

Couple of wickets for Stokes and his tail is up, looks unplayable at the moment. India 5/100.

And misses out on a third as Hawkeye has the LBW missing leg

Stokes has the odd spell when he looks like an unbelievable bowler.

100 for 5 and then we drop virat and then pandya next ball, both absolute dollys. Sums us up as a test team.

Jimmy bowled incredibly well for no wickets.

Stokes can swing it around corners on the odd occasion.
Come on BB, be positive England are on top but yes should take them, especially Kohli.
Anderson very unlucky, been on the money all day.

Great battle between Kohli and the English bowlers.

In the end Kohli was magnificent, single handed has put the Indians back in this test match

You gotta hand it to him. He can be an antagonist, but he certainly backs it up when he bats. Malan will have to make a century to square off on a couple of dropped catches.
