Awesome England Attack.

After the first day was washed out and the second day heavily interrupted by persistent rain, the magnificent England attack skittled India for a derisory 107 in the Second Test.
Joe Root had won the toss and naturally, he inserted the visitors in conditions very favourable to swing and seam.
Woakes and Curran were excellent but Jimmy Anderson's superb figures of 5 - 20 made the spectators purr with delight.
In conditions which will not be especially conducive to easy batting - will England be able to post a respectable total of 250+ to put themselves into an unassailable position with three days remaining?
Sadly, I shall get little opportunity to watch the test.
Today, for me, is a broadcasting day.
