The Final Word Daily for the England-India Tests of 2021. 

We might not have been expecting it, but someone walked out and looked a million dollars. KL Rahul has done good work in this series. Rohit Sharma has played an opener’s role beautifully. Virat Kohli got into his stride. But it was Cheteshwar Pujara who defined the first day, even as England’s seamers produced spell after spell of excellent work. A day of Test cricket that leaves England still well on top, but other possibilities tantalisingly open.
