The visitors were able to send both English openers into the pavilion early, courtesy of a couple of deliveries that rose from a length by Jasprit Bumrah. While the bowling unit often strayed away from their line and length following early breakthroughs, Umesh Yadav had the final say by breaching the defense of Joe Root.
Dasgupta believes India will need 2-3 wickets in the first session to carry the momentum from the end of the first day. While speaking on his YouTube channel, Dasgupta said:
England have a lineup full of handy batsmen: Deep Dasgupta
Dasgupta praised the deep England batting outfit that is infused with all-rounders in the lower order. He noted that barring James Anderson, all of the players are handy batsmen and the Indian bowlers will have their task cut out. Dasgupta added:
England currently have the settled Dawid Malan at the crease alongside night watchman Craig Overton. The pair coasted England to safety in the final minutes of the session after the dismissal of Joe Root. The hosts ended the day at 53-3, and currently trail by 138 runs in the first innings.
