Second Test between India 🇮🇳 and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, day one. Missed the 4am start but did get up at 5am, just missing the first wicket, Rohit Sharma dismissed by Shoaib Bashir on debut. Hope this is going to be as interesting as the first Test 🏏

This is the first time I’ve encountered a YouTube My Mix. I don’t usually use or like the playlists apps such as Apple Music or Spotify generate but this one is impressive and ticks a lot of boxes 🎵🙂

A lot to like about that First Test between India and England, enjoyed it immensely. Twists and turns, outstanding individual performances from Pope and Hartley and an unexpected victory for England in the final over of the fourth day 🏏

Now there should be some play on Day four of the Test 🏏

At least there was something worth waking up ridiculously early for. A brilliant century for Ollie Pope on Day three of the India v England First Test in Hyderabad 👏🏏
