Indian opening slot is open for grab but Abhimanyu Eswaran is not making his case, infact he's making a habit of bottling all his chances are given to him in India A tours. He failed in Australia and similarly today got out cheaply against England Lions. He needs to score in the 2nd inning, otherwise he'll warm the bench in England tour.
Karun Nair showed his class and surprisingly Sarfaraz looked pretty comfortable in seam condition, big positive and hope this inning earn him place in the test squad.
Despite having few issues still these youngsters are doing good job this match is giving them good confidence in these conditions specially Karun Nair, Sarfraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel done good job which will surely give boost their chances.
All batsmen have good batting against spinners which is also good for them in 90 overs giving just 3 wickets with having 400+ mean it's good start of their tour but still big games could be having pressure and more responsibility. After departure of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli now few are having good chance of taking early opportunity because this tour is going to be breakthrough for many because it's career changing opportunity but need some good performance with good skills and technique which will give them confidence.
