That's because Kohli has a much better set of bowlers than Dhoni.

lol.. No. The only noteworthy addition is Bumrah. All other bowlers were still there. Kohli gives his bolwers freedom to execute their own plans. While Dhoni was absolute garbage with anything related to Test cricket.

Why replace both bowlers, should have kept one wicket taker for couple more overs. Now pressure is off.  They both had 4 overs in their spells after tea.

Guys I am not watching the match ,how's the pitch playing?

Unless some guys convert the starts to get big score, Ind's range is 150-300 irrespective of how good the pitch is for batting

When shami bowls we have jaddu from other end. For someone like shami who isn't most fit guy you should have bowler who can give 2 - 3 min break in between overs.

Yeah that is true but still is it semi flat?

not watching it live yet but Eng has been proceeding cautiously so could be a relatively sporting pitch

We are missing pandya here.

Since Ind is batting last, Eng in its 2nd innings would only need to get close to Ind's first inning score. Which would mean Ind would be chasing whatever Eng gets in its 1st inning. Eng is already close to 150 here with 6 wkts remaining

all hopes on @Forever Indian to change things for Ind on Day 2 as he is expected to be at the stadium 

I will do my black magic tomorrow

150 up for Eng .... so if Eng gets close to Ind's first inning score in its 2nd inning, Ind would be chasing at least 150+ in its last .... 6 wkts still remain!

This is where shami starts bowling rubbish

[Nikhil_cric]

Shami. Spraying it at a crucial time once again. This guy simply can't keep it together for any significant period of time. 

[R.D forever]

I may get crucified for this but man I miss Ashwin. On flat pitches I would choose Ashwin anyday . He creates something.

When there is rough jadeja becomes deadly. There should be an option to change bowlers after first innings

Lol Kohli Dhoni hi karte raho 

Result 3-1

19th over for Shami .... may be huffing and puffing

If the ball is not reversing, give a few overs to Vihari

Have to make the new ball count and get wkts. If Eng gets over 250, Ind is likely to chase somewhere around that in its last

Tells me there is something in the pitch for the bowlers too:
