India vs England 2016: 4th Test, day 1 - 5 Talking Points

#1 England well set for challenging total

Cook got his side off to a solid start

Opting to bowl first, India were left chasing the game all through day 1 after Jennings and Cook and later Jennings and Moeen compiled important partnerships.

At 230/2, England looked like ending the day on a high note but Ashwin's burst late in the day ensured honours were even. That said, at 288/5, England look set to get to 350+, which is a good total in India batting first. Rarely have teams lost in India after crossing 400 in the first innings.

While the landmark is still a long way away, England have a more than decent lower order comprised of a handful of all-rounders and it will be a surprise if they cannot cross 400 from here.
