Former England captain on The Cricket Social
I don't think England bowled that well on that first day. When you bowl first and the pitch does a bit, it sometimes shocks you a little bit.
In the first innings it was hard for England but it wasn't too unplayable. It was only until Ben Foakes came out, it showed that you can play on this wicket.
