England’s bowlers got it all wrong for the most part on the opening day as KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma stitched together one of the biggest first-innings opening partnerships in recent history at the Home of Cricket.

Here are three major talking points from Day 1 of the second Test between India and England....

Indian openers Rohit Sharma (20 not out) and KL Rahul (22 not out) then batted out 16 overs without losing a wicket. The visitors ended the day on 43 for no loss, reducing the deficit to 56.

In reply, South Africa kept losing wickets regularly and never had any control of the game....

Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh played a starring role in India’s victory with a magnificent spell in the first innings. After being put in to bat first, South Africa’s top order collapsed like a pack of cards. Deepak Chahar (2/24) and Arshdeep Singh (3/32) produced a fine swing bowling exhibition, leaving the visitors reeling at 9/5 in 2.3 overs. Keshav Maharaj (41) and Wayne Parnell (24) played useful knocks down the order and helped South Africa post 106/8....

These can range from harmful, game-breaking issues to much tamer and hilarious moments like Red Dead Redemption 2’s John Marston falling through the ground. The point is, at times immersion can be broken, leaving the player feeling like the game is a tad unrealistic.
