CHENNAI: “Flat and slow” — these were the two attributes of the pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here in the first Test match that India captain Virat Kohi disliked most, as his team hurtled to a 227-run loss on Tuesday. It’s another matter that 24 wickets fell over five sessions in the last two days and batting was quite difficult for both England and India after a run-feast by the visitors in the first.
