After ruining a prepared game on a wet last day, England and India had their first test at Trent Bridge.
The following is the scoring method of both parties (out of 10 points).
Two low scores, but two good goals. His position in the top three is the most certain, but England needs him to put the tone first. Staying long enough in the crease of the second game shows that he has not gone far against New Zealand.
It is his job to face more than 200 balls in the game. But there was no pressure on India when he tried to withdraw (both dismissals were worrying). Significant partnership with Root in the second game. Very expensive Rahul dropped.
It looked good in the first game, but couldn’t continue. It is certainly too elegant to not test the future, but it may take some time to stay away from the spotlight. Looks very tired.
Between the first and second innings, the gap between Root and his batting colleagues widened. His hundred is one of his best, arriving when his team desperately needed it. There are many people who oppose him and have invested a lot in this test. He cannot host England forever.
Only Rutte played more for England in the game, and the two shared two convenient partnerships. Bairstow hit the ball well, although his dismissal in the second game was careless. Earn extra points for being the only Englishman to hit the stump.
The fourth duck of the year in the first game, and then became greedy in the second game. Not doing enough for the Pope-or the extra bowlers-to finish on time. Some careless things were also placed on the stump.
Keep it well, but hit the ball like someone who hasn’t played a red ball in the first inning since February, and then hit the ball again in the second inning.
In his first red ball game since January, Cullen hit the ball well, but bowling was poor. It makes sense for him to be selected as the side balance all-around player, but he is not one of the best four fast breakers in England.
From the moment he played on opening night, Robinson was threatened. The next morning, on the way to the first test of the five games, he picked up Rohit’s key ticket gate. For England, this is a real discovery, and he can hardly be ruled out.
It was not at its best in the first game, but it did provide an early breakthrough on the fourth night. It is not unimaginable that he is sitting outside Lord’s.
Outstanding performance in the first game, two outstanding deliveries were found to fire Pujara and Kohli. Every time he holds the ball in his hand, the game feels very active.
It occupies an important position in Indian orders. Resolute defense, all shots. The brain faded out in the first game and solidified in the fourth game, just when his team needed him.
It was just because Gil and Agarwal were injured to participate in the game, but they had a wonderful test and are now ready to participate in the summer. So patient and punished the poor ball.

A golden duck, but it’s hard to blame him for going out to play that ball. Used some good reviews on the first day, but also some very bad reviews.
The terrible crazy game ended in running out. Also gave up-a recognized hardship-the opportunity to leave Curran. India’s intermediate order has a wealth of experience, but it is currently a bit abnormal.
A ticket inspector who is grossly underrated, and an absolute firecracker with a bat. It will really hurt England at some stage in this series.
A crucial run in the first game, although this is not the ball threat that India might hope. Walk around on the court and always play where the ball is most likely to go. Good catch in Bairstow.
A very convenient operator, easily underestimated, but very suitable for English conditions. Key wickets for Root in the first round and Butler in the second round.
There were only four wickets in the game, but it was better than that. Bustling, busy, and accurate, the new ball is so old. essential.
One of the most watched bowlers in the world returns with a sensation. The absolute threat from the ticket gates-England needs to find the answer quickly.
Siraj has an interesting old game. It was a constant threat and hit some amazing deliveries, but somehow only got three wickets. Underperformed and never escaped a fight with any batsman in England. *That* extra point on the border on the ground.
