Ben Foakes rates Indian pitches as toughest

England's Ben Foakes feels Indian wickets are among the hardest and require the wicketkeeper to "think on your feet". Foakes, who made a Test comeback after 11 months, effected the stumpings of a well-set Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj in India's second innings that sealed their epic 28-run win in the opening Test of the five-match series. He also scored 34 in a crucial 112-run partnership with Ollie Pope (196) that gave England the decisive lead.
