First Test between England and India is close


It's hard to write sports posts about ongoing events because they get outdated pretty fast.

Nevertheless...

As I write this, Day Three of the first summer 2018 Test between India and England is starting off quite close.  England only managed a modest 287 in their first innings, but a good defense meant that India only scored 274 in their first innings, despite their current star Kohli getting 149 all by himself.

But ... Alastair Cook, one of England's main batsmen who is always in the first pair, only scored 13 in his first at-bat, and got 0 in his second at-bat at the end of Day Two.  Not great for someone that needs to score more runs than that to give England a reasonable chance of winning.

So Day Three, with England up, should be an interesting one.  And as I finish this, the start of Day Three is just a few hours away.
