Fairplay to India, after being 33-3, they performed brilliantly.
We contributed to our own downfall with our 1st innings collapse. From there the game was done.
Everyone knows that 1st innings runs in India is so so important and we have to learn that and quickly.
We shouldn't rip up our approach but we do have to modify it according to the match situation. In our 1st innings we should have played in a more risk averse way on that 3rd morning when we could and should have at least matched India's 1st innings total.
Roots reverse scoop was a needless risk. We should have seen Bumrah off and taken it from there.
All is not lost despite this hammering.
We've shown we can compete and if we can win the toss in the next Test and then make good 1st innings runs, things will look alot more positive.
