India vs England: 5th Test, Day 2 - 5 talking points

#2 Dawson exhibits his batting talents

Dawson scored 66 on debut

Yet another debutant chipped in from the lower order for England in the series. This time it was Liam Dawson, the left arm spinner who showed impeccable judgement in defence and stroke making.

He made 66 in a 108-run partnership with Adil Rashid who also did his bit by making 60. Dawson's score turned to be the highest by a debut no. 8 batsmen for England in Tests. The partnership was also the third highest for the 8th wicket by a visiting team in India.

Dawson, who is more of a bowler, played shots all around the wicket and looked at ease against spin and pace alike. He will, however, have to showcase his bowling talents to remain a part of the Test team in future.
