Losing a few wickets in quick succession in the first session has it's impact on score.

Because of Jaiswal's grit and determination, India reached to this 300+ runs in the Day 1.

If they manage to score 400+ it will be advantageous to India.

it's been a fascinating first day here at Vizag. England took three wickets in that final session to leave honours even on a pitch that hasn't offered any great deal of turn so far. All their bowlers did a fine job, starting with James Anderson who maintained great control in all his spells, and then from the three spinners who were pretty accurate. The star of the day though was Yashasvi Jaiswal as he cruised to an unbeaten 179 at a fair clip, showing good balance between defence and attack.

the next highest score after Jaiswal was just 34 from Shubman Gill.

Most of the Imdian players have forgot how to play on Indian pitch.

Jaiswal: I wanted to play it session by session. When they were bowling well, I just wanted to get through that spell. Initially, the wicket was damp and there was spin and bounce, with a bit of seam. However, I wanted to convert the loose balls, and play till the end. I would love to double this up, and play till the end for the team. I want to recover well for tomorrow now. The pitch played a bit differently, in the morning it was a bit damp and then it settled. With the older ball, there was some bounce. Rahul sir and Rohit bhai kept giving me the confidence and told me to convert this into a big innings, and stay till the end.

Shreyas is also failing to score, His role is to consolidate in the middle order.
