England somehow took six India wickets, which were a bizarre opening day of decisive test, killing Chris Woakes with a shoulder injury.
Vokes was hurt in the oval chasing the ball at the end of the day, chasing the ball and a temporary gofne had gone from the ground with her left hand, which was another injury to England’s speed-bowling attack.
It is an injury that can have a serious effect for the result of the series. England, need to avoid defeat to win 2–1, can be abandoned with three seamers and jacob bethel and Joe root spin.
England reduced tourists to 204–6 in 64 overs that were possible on both sides of the delay of rains.
The scorline does not tell the entire story of England’s bowling, which after winning the toss for the fifth time in the series reached the sublime to ridiculous.
The attempt of the house side was typed by Josh Tongu, who struggled to keep the ball on a cut strip several times and also bowled two near-conferred delivery to leave both Sai Reformson and Ravindra Jadeja behind.
Curious cricket did not end there. India’s captain Shubman Gill was trying to take himself an attractive single, in such a huge form in this series. Bowler Gas Atkinson picked up the ball in his follow-three and his direct hit released Turning Gill from his ground.
It was part of a good day for Atkinson, who was England’s best bowler in his first senior game in more than two months after Hamstring injury.
From 153–6, India hung through Karun Nair’s determination, which did not finish the day 52.
It also abandoned the honor, although England will definitely have to find a way to get without vox.
