England vs India 2018: First Test, Day 1, Twitter Reactions

If England lose this Test Match, it is wholly and completely down to that run out. Head loss 🤦🏻‍♀️ #ENGvIND

Ashwin taking time so that his friend Vijay does not have to face the new ball today? :P
— Nikhil 🏏 (@CricCrazyNIKS) August 1, 2018

Kohli effing and blinding and hand gesturing his way through England's innings. Wonder where I've seen that captaincy style in England before...@SGanguly99 #ENGvIND #INDvENG #IndvsEng

So you all are not worried that India will have to play 3 overs today if they get all out now #INDvENG #ENGvIND

Ashwin has turned this game upside down. Brilliant spell !!!! 👏👏 #ENGvIND

I was scolded today for this.

Why are umpires reluctant to give people out LBW? I mean do they feel good when the ball is actually hitting and the bowler is denied his well deserved wicket on the "umpire's call". #ENGvIND

Are Poms trying Mental Disintegration, of Kohli by keeping the 1st Test at 'Edge'baston ?🤔😉😂😂 #ENGvIND

YES ISHANT!!! Did it man! No 100 partnership from tailenders! 😁 #INDvENG #ENGvIND
— Vincent Sunder (@vincentsunder) August 1, 2018

Same old story. India can't dismiss tailenders. #ENGvIND #ENGvsIND
— Walking Shadow (@govpad02) August 1, 2018

That was the shortest ball Ashwin has bowled today. It should have been deposited into Manchester.

If a soft dismissal had a gif.#ENGvIND

Done absolutely nowt in 12 months. But Stokes still claims a Test place. #ENGvIND
— Pete McCarthy (@pete_mccarthy) August 1, 2018

This is absolutely criminal from England considering the position they were in an hour ago. #ENGvIND

Let's just forget about the cricket and award the series to the team and the captain who does the best mic drop. My money's on Kohli. #ENGvIND #ENGvsIND

Never change England... #engvind

Nobody does batting collapses like England #EngvInd
— Paul Phillips (@Phleeper) August 1, 2018

Already dreading to see the same ads before end of day 1, wonder how to cope over 5 test matches.? #ENGvIND
— Gyanban (@Gyanban) August 1, 2018

If Virat Kohli walked on water I wouldn't believe it unless Nasser Hussain told me first. #ENGvIND
— Dominic J Brown (@DomJBrown) August 1, 2018

Assuming Virat Kohli will receive some sort of punishment for his send-off to Joe Root? No? Thought not 🤔 #EngvInd
— Will Jackson (@willjacksonPA) August 1, 2018

Wouldn’t be a proper English summer without an English batting collapse. Bloody typical #ENGvIND
— Dan Julian (@danjulian93) August 1, 2018

Buttler just forget his inspirational quote written on his bat...😂#ENGvIND

You can never keep Virat Kohli out of the game for too long. It was a brilliant display of athleticism and fielding technique by the India captain to dismiss his counterpart. #OhMyKohli #ENGvIND #Cricket

Oh dear Joseph! Your love affair with 50s is a greater love tale than Romeo & Juliet.#ENGvIND #Root
— Aadi (@ImAaadi) August 1, 2018

And this time Kohli halts Root from scoring a ton.#ENGvIND

Hardik Pandya is an ideal 12th man in test matches! #ENGvIND
— Shashi Naik (@Shashinaik6794) August 1, 2018

Pandya so good! We don't deserve him. Koi le jao please #ENGvIND
— Chaitanya (@chaitanyaanandd) August 1, 2018

Umm, why Hardik? #ENGvIND
— Aditya Sahay (@adisahay7) August 1, 2018

Hardik Pandya is better at hairstyling than bowling.#ENGvIND
— Ronald D Sampson (@RDSampson_25) August 1, 2018

I hope someone wakes Ravi Shastri up. It's the Tea break. He needs to work now.#ENGvIND #ENGvsIND
— Yash Agarwalla (@Yashagarwalla) August 1, 2018

ENG are very keen on gifting a wicket to Pandya #ENGvIND

Nass is right. India just doesn't know how to get Joe Root out. #ENGvIND
— KASHISH (@crickashish217) August 1, 2018

This Umesh-Ishant duo will ruin all the hardwork done by Shami nd Ash.
They are champions at doing that since ages. #ENGvIND
— darksoul (@Justice_fikri) August 1, 2018

Five-test series is good for Kohli. He generally gets the team selection right by the third test.#ENGvIND

A fit, trouble-free Mohammed Shami is head and shoulders above every other Indian bowler, including the two indispensables: Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah.

His repertoire is second to none!#ENGvIND #England1000
— Suhith Kumar RN (@SuhithKumarRN) August 1, 2018

There was only one way this match was going to go after Shami had food. He gets his second and India's third. Malan out for 8. England are 112-3 #ENGvIND
— No Balls Cricket (@NoBallsCricket) August 1, 2018

I'd say Jennings hasn't really picked the length there. Got down his crease a bit and ball seemed to get stuck on his bat, then pad and onto the stumps. Harsh given how well he'd played. #ENGvIND
