Six down, and doesn’t look too bad for England on day one.
But how we will cope with Ashwin on this pitch is another question.

We'll need to keep them under 350 and try to get a first-innings lead. Hard to see, though.
Great bowling performance by England, if it weren't for Rohit's batting performance it would have been England's day. Excited about day two already.
Some poor third umpiring today.
This wicket has been designed to give India every chance of winning and they look well set after winning the toss.
Shame we choose not to pick our strongest line up each test, although we do play a lot of games.

I think the on-field umpiring has been pretty good in both tests, but the third umpire review of Rahane's wicket was very poor. Thankfully not expensive, though.
Stone bowled well - without any help from the wicket - and Foakes kept well, so the replacements haven't really weakened the team too much.
Think I'd prefer to be in India's position than England after day 1.... 300 on the board, ball turning square already, pant still out there.....they get 350+ I can't see them losing from that position....
England will need to show huge amount of patience and skill to get close to that sort of score.....
Usually Drs gets most things right but that decision on the rohane dismissal was bit of a shocker...... only cost 1 run but even so.......

106-8. Awful.
Follow up last weeks superb performance with this thoroughly damp squib of an effort.

Cheer up. We’ve avoided the follow on, which could have meant a Test match finished in two days.....
somehow this is not a surprise.

Great bowling from Ashwin, India on top. England will be very disappointed that they didn't get over 200.
Think India could declare now 240 ahead and that will be more than enough.....
Still 1-1 after 2 tests I think most of us would have taken that....

Another questionable Drs over whether a shot played or not...... commentators right about no shot being played
