Curran looked hardly threatening throughout the day’s play. The left-arm pacer bowled 18 overs and conceded 58 runs with nothing to show in the wickets column.
Speaking on the BBC’s Test Match Special podcast, Michael Vaughan said it was all too easy for the Indian batters.
Vaughan reiterated the importance of working your way through the spell and setting up the batters. Nothing comes easy when you are up against quality batters in Test matches.
Sam Curran has had a good run in Test matches during his short career so far, especially in home conditions. In 22 Tests, the 23-year-old has collected 44 wickets so far. However, Day 1 of the Lord’s Test against India was one of those rare days where he looked off color.
“We have got trouble coming ahead” – Michael Vaughan
Michael Vaughan reckons that England’s fast bowling reserves do not have plenty of depth at the moment. The former England captain says the future looks bleak once James Anderson and Stuart Broad hang up their boots.
Vaughan pointed out that the performance of the seamers on Day 1 of the Lord’s Test, barring Anderson, seemed quite ordinary.
The pacers will have their task cut out on the morning of Day 2 as the Indian batters look set to kick on and put up a good total on the board.
