Yas Rana and Phil Walker reflect on a thrilling first day in Ranchi, headlined by Joe Root's 31st Test century. Akash Deep made an immediate impression on debut, dismissing England's top three in a stunning new ball burst, before Bairstow and Stokes both fell to spin to leave England 112-5 at lunch. The afternoon belonged to Root though, who knuckled down and cleverly crafted one of the best centuries of his glittering Test career in tricky conditions. Ben Foakes played brilliantly at the other end for his 47, while Tom Hartley and Ollie Robinson also offered important resistance. England finished the day on 302-7, with Root unbeaten on 106*. 0:00 Recap / 1:20 Joe Root / 12:43 Pitch / 20:56 Ben Foakes / 27:07 Akash Deep / 31:24 Mohammed Siraj / 36:02 Rohit's captaincy / 38:19 Looking ahead to tomorrow You can follow Wisden Cricket on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok: https://www.facebook.com/WisdenCric https://www.instagram.com/wisden_cricket/ https://twitter.com/WisdenCricket https://www.tiktok.com/@wisdencricket The latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly is available now at https://wisden.com/shop/wisden-cricket-monthly-issue-75 The digital version of the magazine is also available for just £2 a month at https://pocketmags.com/wisden-cricket-monthly-magazine#5c1cd17fa0b05 #Cricket #IndianCricket #EnglandCricket Learn more about your ad choices.

Having won the toss and chosen to bat first on a flat pitch in Vizag, India finished the opening day on 336-6 to leave things very much in the balance. On a day where no other Indian batter managed to pass 35, Yashasvi Jaiswal notched an epic second Test century, ending the day unbeaten on 179*.

India batted for the entirety of day two for the loss of just six wickets, leaving themselves in total control of the first Test at Hyderabad. Joe Root dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal inside the first over of the day, but England's bowlers generally struggled for control throughout once again.

A wonderful knock from 22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal has put India in a strong position after the opening day of the series in Hyderabad. Having won the toss and chosen to bat, England were bowled out for 246, with eight wickets shared between India's three spinners. Ben Stokes batted nicely on his return from surgery for 70, but was one of two wickets to fall to the ever impressive Jasprit Bumrah. The hosts made good progress in the evening session, with Jaiswal in particular making sure England's spinners struggled for control. They'll resume tomorrow on 119-1, trailing by 127 runs. 0:00 Recap / 3:39 England's innings / 14:00 India's innings / 22:07 Tomorrow You can follow Wisden Cricket on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok: https://www.facebook.com/WisdenCric https://www.instagram.com/wisden_cricket/ https://twitter.com/WisdenCricket https://www.tiktok.com/@wisdencricket The latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly is available now at https://wisden.com/shop/wisden-cricket-monthly-issue-74 The digital version of the magazine is also available for just £2 a month at https://pocketmags.com/wisden-cricket-monthly-magazine#5c1cd17fa0b05 #Cricket #IndianCricket #EnglandCricket Learn more about your ad choices.
