India vs England Highlights, 4th Test: Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar put India on top on Day 2

Picked ahead of Umesh Yadav, given Siraj's abilities and recent showing since the tour of Australia, it'll be a nice problem of plenty for the team management going forward, when Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah return to the side

The Hyderabad bowler's ability to go for wickets was evident once again. In Root's case, it was an inswinger that was a classic set up after bowling a series of away going deliveries

However, it was Joe Root's wicket that gave England the big shock early on, leaving the visitors at 30/3 and highlighting yet again, how Siraj looks set for a long haul in Test cricket

Dom Sibley was Axar Patel and Team India's first victim, bowled again to that skidding arm-ball that's been used so menacingly well. Zak Crawley soon followed his partner, falling for a mind-numbing loft taken at mid-off by Mohammed Siraj, in an attempt to disturb the bowler's line

England were at sea for most part of the day and the first session gave one the feeling that another free fall, like the visitors endured in the third Test, was likely

Shubman Gill fell for a duck, trapped leg before by Jimmy Anderson for a duck, while his opening partner Rohit Sharma stuck around with Cheteshwar Pujara as India finished the day at 24/1

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, England scratched their way to 205 all out before giving India approximately 40 minutes to bat the remaining day out

The wicket looks anything but outlandish, bringing an end to the raging debate on what "ideal tracks" should be like. For all the chatter surrounding the pitch these last two weeks, there couldn't have been a better strip to put an end to it all

On a track that favoured turn and seam, they fell to deliveries that didn't turn and seldom swung. In doing so, they all but handed India a firm footing in the match, or so it appeared at stumps

England cannot be blamed for lacking intent. Never before in this series did the visiting team appear so determined to give away wickets like it did on Day One
