Respectable first innings in the end for this pitch. And a wicket in the first ball of India's innings. Still think batting will be at its best on days 2 and 3 though before becoming a nightmare on 4 and 5.
England's innings showed the (occasional) benefit of having such a deep batting order. Swann at 10 must be one of the strongest No10s in a long time. In normal circumstances though having a long batting line-up doesn't have much benefit as if the recognised batsmen struggle the lower order almost certainly will too. Not today though.
