Just checked; they've still got some way to go to match the record for wickets to fall in a day in test cricket....

There's still 20 odd overs to go, mind!

India have just lost 6 wickets for 0 runs.

Must be a test record.

When you only play two test matches especially with teams like these two test match cricket is dead! They should be playing 3/4 test matches! Seems the players wanted a 2/3 day test match

They’ve turned this into 2 innings of 35 overs each so far.

India will be more match ready than we will be next month.

Cricket is a mad sport, SA all out for 55, then India lose 6 wickets for zero runs, all out for 153.

Barring poor weather or India prioritising another format/competition I can't see anything other than a 5-0 defeat for England.

Similarly, if it was a home series, especially in early summer, England would win comfortably.

I’d back India for at least a draw against us in England.

Fixed like county cricket do when they want a result

I'm not sure of the exact scores, (something like 3-0, 4-0, and 3-1) but the last three India tours to England have all been fairly similar with late-spring breezy conditions, slow green pitches, and no match preparation for the tourists.

No different to when England go to Australia or the subcontinent and soon find themselves jet-lagged and 30-4 on a totally alien batting track

Sadly, that's now the norm for Test Cricket.

True and you may very well be right. We don’t have Broad anymore though. Interesting times.

Surely The ICC will investigate that pitch in Cape Town

23 wickets in one day is 1930's uncovered pitches stuff. The record is 28 in 1888
