A short wide one offers Curran the chance to slap through the covers but an excellent stop from Rahane denies him runs. There\u2019s nothing the man at cover can do a couple of balls later as the youngster thunks through for three. Moeen lets the ball slide off the face and through backward point for three more.\u201cRe: 32nd over captains,\u201d begins John Starbuck. \u201cYes, Steve Hudson has a point about fast bowlers, but that isn\u2019t quite what I meant. The very best batsmen seldom make very good captains, though there are always exceptions. A fine example is Mike Brearley, who wasn\u2019t picked for his run-making, but his leadership.

Much of the day one post-mortem will focus on England\u2019s batting failures, understandably, but India have been nothing short of exceptional out in the field. Shami continues and beats Moeen with a beauty that seams away a touch across the left-hander. From the last the bowler brings one back into him and Moeen isn\u2019t a million miles away from Jenningsing himself but the ball whistles past off stump, taking a layer of lacquer off on the way past. A maiden.
