VIZAG: Like in the first innings, England found the going tough once Zak Crawley was dismissed.

VIZAG: There were moments on the fourth day of the second Test when India struggled to find answers as England attacked.

Jasprit Bumrah's Masterclass in Reverse Swing Shatters England in India vs England 2nd Test

Sweep Shots Take Spin Out of the Plan: Zak Crawley Original
VISAKHAPATNAM: Ollie Pope had his chances against India earlier too. By his own admission, he didn't make it count in 2018 and 2021.

Sri Lanka’s Dimuth Karunaratne (107) was the last to do it in Bengaluru in 2022. HYDERABAD: Most visiting batsmen lose it in their mind on tours of India. Ollie Pope proved to be different. The 26-year-old Surrey batter had a clear gameplan to thwart Indian designs on the third day of the first Test.

India vs England Test Match: Chasing Target on Day 2
HYDERABAD: The objective was clear for India on the second day of the first Test against England. The task of chasing down a target in the fourth innings can be a risky proposition even on a surface like the one at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

India vs England, 1st Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal's Positive Approach and Strokes
HYDERABAD: Yashasvi Jaiswal is relishing the opportunity of playing his first Test in familiar conditions at home after four matches in overseas conditions.

India vs England, 1st Test: Indian Spinners, Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tone
HYDERABAD: There were no puffs of dust, which are characteristically associated with Indian pitches. Or even raging turn. In safely negotiating the final session of play, India put England’s modest first-day show with the bat in perspective.

Their total of 246 now wears an anaemic look, given India finished Thursday just 127 runs behind with nine wickets in hand.
India vs England, 1st Test: Pitch is slow but no excessive spin says Axar Patel
HYDERABAD: Left-arm spinner Axar Patel ws preferred over Kuldeep Yadav in India’s playing XI and was the most economical bowler on the first day.

Why Wood edged out Anderson in battle for lone pace spot
High pace in short, sharp spells preferable on turners: Stokes HYDERABAD: England on Wednesday named only one seamer in their XI for the first Test against India and skipper Ben Stokes is hoping the speedy Mark Wood will do the job for them.

India vs England: Mohammed Siraj's Meteoric Career Comes Full Circle with First Test at Home Original
HYDERABAD: Less than a decade ago, Mohammed Siraj was just another boy in tattered shoes on Hyderabad's streets, playing tennis ball cricket.

IND vs ENG: Rahul Dravid asks team to 'pace yourself' for 'marathon' England series
HYDERABAD: India’s last few Test matches have been truncated affairs.

India vs England: Team India's plans take a hit with Virat Kohli's pullout Original
