IND vs ENG, 5th Test, Day 1 Live Updates: India (123/5), Tongue removes Sai, Jadeja in quick succession

Speaking on Sky Sports Cricket, Dinesh Karthik offered a blunt assessment of England's bowling attack, calling it their "weakest suit" in the match—even as they managed to pick up three early wickets.

“England's weakest suit in this game is their bowling,” Karthik said.

“They haven't hit their straps, haven't found their line and length, haven't found movement – but they have still taken three wickets. So it is very important that Sudharsan and Karun stitch a partnership.”
