It's a five match test series and two more games to follow after this test match. English team scored 251 runs at the end of day 1 and it's surprising because England usually don't score runs with 3 rpo even in test cricket. Root is just one run away from his 37th test hundred. It looks that English team will score 350 runs in first innings and it will be more ideal if they can score 400 runs. Indian bowlers didn't gave away too many runs on first day but they also were not able to pick wickets.

England lost two wickets for just 44 runs. Two experienced batsmen like Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett failed to do well. Even then, at the end of the day, England managed to score 251 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Joe Root is unbeaten on 99 runs. Stokes also scored 39 runs.

These two batsmen will definitely have to do well if they want to score big tomorrow. I especially have high expectations from Root. If England wants to dominate the match, they will definitely have to score a 450+. We have seen in the last two matches that Indian batsmen are in excellent form now. So if England cannot score big, India will win this match too.
