India are building a big lead v England on Day 2 of their Test match. KL Rahul and Jadeja did most of the damage, although virtually every India batter scored runs, as England toiled and head towards what could be a big defeat in the first Test. England's spinners struggled, with only Joe Root and Jack Leach offering any control. Is there a way back for England or are India simply too strong in these conditions?VOTE FOR TCP: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/sports_category/best-cricket-podcast/Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpodOur website: thecricketpod.comSupport the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpodBuy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpodBuy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffeeTwitter and Instagram: @thecricketpodWant to create live streams like this?

England's tour of India has started. The first Test in Hyderabad might set the tone for the series, as England's batters struggled against the quality spin trio of Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar Patel. Just for fun Jasprit Bumrah also picked up a couple of wickets, with only Ben Stokes providing serious resistance. Later in the day, Jaiswal gave England a taste of their own medicine as he Bazballed Tom Hartley for multiple sixes. VOTE FOR TCP: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/sports_category/best-cricket-podcast/Links to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpodOur website: thecricketpod.comSupport the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpodBuy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear/stores/the-cricket-podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpodBuy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/the-cricket-podcast-coffeeTwitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Learn more about your ad choices.
