Broad urged the England bowlers to keep the Indian batters in check after the visitors got off to a steady start. India, asked to bat first by England skipper Joe Root, looked untroubled in the first session, with Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul getting their side to lunch unscathed at 46/0.
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul adopted a steady approach, leaving deliveries outside the off-stump. England bowlers James Anderson and Ollie Robinson didn’t look threatening while Sam Curran erred with his line and length.
Rohit, in particular, showed extreme grit and determination to bring up his half-century and will hope to make this start count. India are 92/0 at the time of writing.
