India vs England First Test: 5 Takeaways

Where does Jimmy Anderson fit into scheme of things

For England, it has been a very good start to the series. With questions over how well they’ll cope on big turners against superior players, they have out-batted and out-bowled India. Hameed’s runs coupled with the consistency that Rashid and Zafar Ansari displayed leaves the tourists in a good head space for the next four Tests. They will have one big question to answer – should they recall James Anderson? Having worked hard on his fitness as Loughborough, where he bowled 30-overs outdoors thanks to a state-of-the-art tent, he is available for selection for the second Test. However, with spin expected to play an important part, the big question that England’s team management needs to think about is who would make way for Jimmy Anderson.
