Zak Crawley alone was able to put up more than 50 with the bat during the tourists' first innings at Visakhapatnam's Dr. Y. S. Rajashekar Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium, a batter-friendly surface. Though if there's one thing we know about this England team, you write them off at your own peril. 

They produced what's being hailed as one of their greatest ever away victories in the opener, inflicting just a fourth defeat in 47 home matches on the mighty Men in Blue.

For India the taste of defeat was a shock to the system, and they're without KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja for this 2nd Test. The hosts simply aren't used to being under this much pressure on home soil, though it was only three years ago that they overturned a 0-1 deficit to beat England 3-1.
