India vs England Highlights, 1st Test, Day 1: England 285 For 9 At Stumps On Day 1
Highlights India vs England, 1st Test: Ravichandran Ashwin clinched four wickets as England lost six wickets in the final session, ending the day one on 285 for the loss of 9 wickets.
After struggling in the first two sessions of the game, India bounced right back in the final session, picking up six wickets, restricting England to 285 for nine at stumps on day one of the first Test at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham. Ravichandran Ashwin's bowling was the highlight of the day as he was the most successful bowler for the team clinching four scalps. Mohammed Shami too clinched two crucial wickets. England were going strong with 163 for three on the board at tea. Things went south for the hosts after Joe Root (80) got dismissed courtesy a brilliant direct hit from Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Yorkshire team-mate Jonny Bairstow (70) followed the skipper soon, chopping the ball back on to the stumps off Umesh Yadav. Jos Buttler too got dismissed on the first ball he faced. Ben Stokes smashed a couple boundaries but handed a simple catch to Ashwin off his own bowling. Adil Rashid and Sam Curran built a 35-run partnership for the eighth wicket but post Rashid's departure the tail did not had much to offer. Sam Curran (24) and James Anderson (0) are at the crease for England with India still to take the new ball. Play fantasy league and win cash daily.
Skipper Joe Root (unbeaten 65-run knock) kept one end intact as England posted 163 for the loss of three wickets at tea on day one of the first Test against India at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham. Mohammed Shami starred for India in the second session picking up two wickets but could not find support from the other end. Shami picked up his first wicket in form of opener Keaton Jennings (42) who got unlucky, dragging the ball back on to the stumps. Dawid Malan (8) was Shami's second scalp who was trapped in front of the stumps. Post the successive dismissals, Joe Root along with Jonny Bairstow built another partnership, controlling the England innings. Both stitched a partnership of 51 runs for the fifth wicket. Root also crossed the 6,000-run mark in Test cricket during his knock unbeaten knock. With 163 on the board now, England look in control of the situation with likes of Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler to follow.(Highlights)

13:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the Live coverage of the first Test between India and England at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham.
England posted 83 runs for loss of one wicket in the opening session of the first Test at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham on Wednesday. Riding on the 57-run partnership between Joe Root and opener Keaton Jennings, England built on after suffering initial loss of Alastair Cook. After winning the toss, England skipper Joe Root took a bold decision to bat first, on a pitch that looked to have a bit of moisture and purchase for the seamers at the start. Although, Indian pacers bowled with intent but it was R Ashwin in the ninth over who provided India with their first breakthrough dismissing Cook (13) with a beautiful delivery. Post the setback, Root (31) and Keaton Jennings (38) built on, playing the bowlers, especially Ashwin with caution. The Indian slip catching once again disappointed as Ajinkya Rahane dropped Jennings when he was batting on 9. Ashwin was the lone wicket-taker for India.
Moreover, many experts have tipped the current pace bowling unit as India's best in years and they will also look to make the best use of the seam-friendly wickets. While Bhuvenshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah will be out of action for the first three Tests, Kohli will leave out one of Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur in his fast bowling attack, which will be further boosted by all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
Considering it is a long five-match series, India need to be wary of the physical toll on the pacers and Kohli will have to utilise them smartly. The pacers will need to fire collectively and be ready at every opportunity because rotation will be a key factor.

Just what India needed and planned. Took them just 10 balls to wrap up the last wicket. England could only manage to add 2 runs to their overnight score. This is their fifth lowest score against India batting first at home. They didn't get to the psychological 300-run mark but now have work to do with the ball. India's first aim will be to bat well and see off the new ball. They will start their reply in a few minutes. Don't go anywhere.
OUT! Inswing, inswing and then an outswing which produces the edge. No fifer for Ashwin. But a good overall bowling performance from India. Shami serves this outside off, it moves away, Curran flirts with it and gets an edge which Karthik doesn't drop. ENGLAND ARE ALL OUT FOR 287.
Angles this into Curran who moves away and gets hit on his thigh pad.
Back of a length ball on off, Curran defends it down.
The ball is way outside the off stump, easy leave for Curran.
Mohammed Shami to bowl from the other end.
Short ball down the leg side, Anderson blocks it with a straight bat.
Jimmy has played that off the front foot and into the ground.
Ohh!!! Almost! Ashwin fires this one around off, the ball drifts in sharply and Anderson gets an inside edge towards fine leg. Will pick up a brace for it.
On middle and leg, played to short mid-wicket.
