England were subjected to another brutally chastening day in Test cricket after collapsing to 183 all out on day one of the first Test against India.
Having managed to grind their way against a hugely impressive India seam attack to 138 for three, England subsequently imploded and lost seven wickets for 45 runs, with captain Joe Root top-scoring with 64, his first Test half-century in 12 innings.
Sportsmail's DAVID LLOYD offers his views and insights on what proved to be yet another sobering day for England's Test batters in the opening match of the series at Trent Bridge.

It's good to be back
This is our first Test for quite some time, which reminded me of the Everly Brothers reunion concert in 1963. As Phil Everly would say ‘it’s good to be back!’ Wonderful, too, to see this marvellous Trent Bridge ground so full for the start of such a big series. And what a day it was for India, too.
