India had a great first day of the Test match bowling England out for a meagre 183, and now openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have got off to a cautious slow start, playing very disciplined. The duo looks well settled, and Team India will love to see a big opening partnership.

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami bamboozled England batting line-up with their deadly spells as they picked 7 wickets between them. Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur picked 1 and 2 wickets respectively.
