England all-rounder Moeen Ali has said that the current Indian bowling attack is one of the best he has ever faced.
Ali scored 50 off 170 balls, and put on a 73-run stand with Alastair Cook as the hosts finished with 198-7 at stumps.
"I just tried to take it a ball at a time. I thought they bowled really well. The wicket was quite slow, but the ball was always doing something, so I just tried to stay as patient as I could. The Indian bowlers didn't give me a lot to hit. So I just tried to bat. I don't always play like that, but we were in a decent position," said Ali on Friday.
