5 takeaways from India's warm-up match against Essex

Lack of bowling for the spinners

Will these two be up for the first Test next week?

It is expected that until and unless England dish out an absolute rank turner, India will field only two out of the three between Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.

But in the warm-up game, Ashwin bowled a mere five overs, but it was later revealed that he had sustained a minor injury, hence you could forgive him for not having bowled a lot. But the lack of bowling time for the other two leaves a lot to be desired, as to who indeed would take the field in the first Test.
