Test in Old Trafford was reported to 358, with Ben Stokes led by Ben Stokes with a brilliant five goal haul, which has been his first tests since 2017. Next, however, followed the frustrating passage of the game for visitors, because the English introductory couple Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett gave their team a strong and stable beginning. Indian pitchors could not take timely goals, allowing England to build momentum without much resistance. Former Captain Australia Ricky Ponting did not change words in the analysis of Indian performance and repeated sentiments expressed formerly by the former Indian head coach and Ravi Shastri legend. “I think we heard it when we waited for us to go just before the break said Ravi Shastri. It was nonsense. They just missed their areas,” said Ricky Ponting at Sky Sports Cricket. “I am not sure what they were expecting from the surface, but I was surprised that in fact they went (anshul) the Cartar before (Mohammed) Sraji with a new ball to start because he knew the impact on this series, and knew how important the beginning of English bats was.

Ponting was particularly critical of the Indian line and length at the beginning of the shifts. “I think they had to go to their best and most experienced pitch -offs. They got to the leaflet – too straight to Ducketta, so many boundaries of the square on the side of the foot. You know you can’t mix there. So now he has to do some work. They have to connect at the break and find out how they are going to mix to try to slow down the scoring down, but also find out how the two get out, ”the veteran added. Indian bowling options have already been under voltage to this test, with injury excluded by Nitish Kumar Reddy and Pace Duo Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh.
