The bowlers did not get much help while bowling first in the last game and they were made to stay on the field for over two days. However, in the second innings with the pitch starting to do tricks, the bowlers, led by R Ashwin, looked good. 

Axar Patel is likely to replace Shahbaz Nadeem, who had an ordinary game. It will be interesting to see if Kuldeep Yadav gets to play with Washington Sundar contributing well with the bat and bowling decent spells. 

England team will be delighted with their performance in the first test. They batted well to keep India on the field for more than two days in the first innings. Joe Root led the team with his double ton with Dom Sibley and Ben Stokes supporting him well. Jos Buttler won't be available for the rest of the series which suggests Ben Foakes will be replacing him in the 2nd test. 

The bowlers had a great outing as well. They bowled well in both the innings, especially the spinners - Dom Bess and Jack Leach. Jofra Archer was lethal with his fast bowling while James Anderson was classy with his reverse swinging abilities. There is a case of Stuart Broad replacing Anderson in the 2nd test due to the workload management.
