Vizag is usually good to bat on, first session might see a lot of turn due to overnight moisture in the winter and 9:30 AM start. Generally expect good, consistent pace and bounce, and consistent spin, however much it is. It should wear out to turn quite a bit later in the game. Days 3 to 5 or 4 to 5 possibly.
Cook saying something similar to this. It might be tricky a bit up to lunch but after that its gonna be good and likely to break up from day 4. Good toss to win for India but they have to see through lunch

Whatever it takes!!!
Dont see us winning this one, honestly. The selection is just brain-dead. Mukesh is a fine bowler and hopefully he does well but Washy over Mukesh would have helped us with one more left hand batsman in the top 6 and lengthened the batting line up which is sorely needed given we have a keeper and 2 seamers and 1 spinner none of whom can bat, we need batting depth of more than #7.

If England cant beat this side here, they should be kicking themselves tbh. Cant see us scoring more than 250 here and 400 is par. :(

I can't see any way we win this Test.

This bowling attack doesn't have 20 wickets in it. England can chase 350+ in the 4th dig.

England only have one Pacer on a flat pitch ..
Great advantage to bat first here, if India don't do anything stupid they will get 500+ ..

The more I look at this lineup the weaker it looks.

Missing Kohli, Rahul, Pant, Jadeja. That's an entire world class batting middle order lol.
Yeah if there were any doubts before, there can't be any now that this is a side in transition. Even if most of those blokes come back, at least three of them won't be around for that long.
