They were everywhere with their lengths and almost no phase saw them to create permanent pressure on Indian dough. India completed Day 1 at 350 for 3, with excellent centuries by Captain SHUBMAN GILL (127* No Out) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101).Broad, who took 604 test goals, including 74 against India during his career, expressed concern that the English attack could fight the Indian talented branding unit.“You look at England with injuries they have at the moment – where do they get 20 goals?” Broad said The Times.“Chris Woakes is likely to have a new ball. I love Woakes, but I’m afraid the number of overs that is bowed this summer – it’s not enough. It’s someone who needs to get his rhythm. He is not like Mark Wood that can immediately hit the ground that immediately hit the ground.”Broad also predicted how the fault could become England in Headingley.“Headingley has an outfield-final-couck-Fink-financial-event you make some mistakes in your length, Batsman just throws away,” Broad said.“If there are clouds, it can swing around, but if you disappear badly, you disappear at the speed of knots. We also have an inexperienced young spinner (Shaib Bashir), so there are a lot of unknown.

England Fast Bowling Consultant Tim Southee advocated Captain Ben Stokes’s decision first on dry heading goals.Stokes’ decision came to sharp criticism from former captain Michael Vaughan, who said he found no logic in the move.“With yesterday’s color goal and a little moisture, if it is a little help, it will probably be this morning. It was thinking after the decision,” Southee said at a press conference on the foot.“You look at the surface and decide what you think will give you the best chance. Not you are still right.”
