India v England, Hyderabad Day 0: Jack Leach, Rehan Ahmed and Tom Hartley are not Ashwin and Jadeja - let there be no doubt. But on the belief that the Hyderabad pitch is going to rag from morning one, the visitors are putting all their faith in an inexperienced spin trio that will rely heavily on the bespectacled bloke from Somerset. As for the hosts, they so rarely lose at home with a tried-and-true gameplan. But how will it work if the Bazballers can make a bit of a mark early? A fascinating series awaits. Cam Ponsonby, who will be at the ground on our daily shows throughout the next two months, joins Adam Collins.
