OVERCAST vs DRY HOT
England had known for giving green top to visitors will they take a risk to this indian team by giving dry wicket or in absense of bhuvi and bumrah they will take a chance against ishant and company on a green top.
This confusion has been created by the selection of Adil Rashid in the team as a second spinner and will be answered on the match day itself.
The ECB selection committee headed by ED smith selected two spinners in form of Adil Rashid and Moin ali can be an indication of the upcoming conditions in the 1st test match.
If conditions are not going to be overcast then it will be like indians are playing at home with ashwin , jadeja and kuldeep in armory for less efficient english batsmen against spin.

Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles; coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science; science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
(Ah oh oh)

King pairs in Test cricket
If a batsman is out first ball he has made a golden duck and if a batsman is dismissed first ball in both innings he has achieved a king pair. This worst of all batting fates has befallen seventeen players in the history of Test cricket so far.

Bert Vogler for South Africa v Australia at Sydney in 1910–11
Tommy Ward for South Africa v Australia at Old Trafford in 1912.
Tommy Ward was dismissed in each innings by Jimmy Matthews. Uniquely, both times he came in to bat after two batsmen had been dismissed, giving Matthews a hat-trick in each innings.
Ian Colquhoun for New Zealand v England at Eden Park in 1954-55.
Twice giving Bob Appleyard a hattrick opportunity which were denied by Alex Muir in both cases, the second innings was part of NZ's 26 all out which was the lowest team score recorded in a Test match.
