India Rishabh Pant (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) The first Indian test against England in headingley turns into an immediate classic-full big run, a sharp joke and a record brilliance of Jasprit Bumhrah under the cloudy sky. Day 2 saw India would complete its impressive first shifts at 471, anchored by Rishabh Pant. But the momentum varied when visitors lost the last seven goals on just 41 runs. England, however, reacted strongly and reached 209/3 on the stumps, with Ollie Pope established shifts with an elegant hundred and Ben Duckett in the fight 62. While the runs were constantly coming, the stump microphone served a bonus for fans: Pant, after a dramatic stop of diving to save his legs, joked: “Mei Bhi Khel Raha Hu Bhai! Apne Chauke to Chakkar Mei, Mera Chauk Mat de Dena.” (“I also play, brother! Don’t give up your four while trying to save my own.”) 👉 Captain SHUBMAN GILL was also fired and pumped Jadeja since the middle: “Abhi Ye Pura Confused Hai Jadda Bhai! Kaunsi Seedhi Hai, Kaunsi Udhar Ayega USka!” (“Right now he’s completely confused, brother Jada! Can’t figure out which one will go straight and which of them will turn.”) The drama continued on day 3. Day, when England was pushing 465, closed the first shifts of only six runs behind India, despite some careless Indian field, because the four catches were dropped by the Bumrah itself. Yet the Indian ace Pacer turned the heat and packed the brilliant 5/83, its 14th Test five-PRO, equal to the Record of Kapil Dev for most of the five goal interests with an Indian test. He also became a pitch with the most five goals in WTC (11).Quiz: Who is the IPL player? When the ball rocked under the overcast sky, the Indian second shifts had their own nervousness. KL RAHUL’S ELESACY HAZARDED 47 The ship stabilized before the bad light ended early, with India in 90/2, which leads by 96 runs. Captain Gill, who scored in his debut test as a captain, is not outdoors, ready to lead India to the decisive day of the 4th day. The Anderson-Tendulkar trophy opener remains wide open with the weather, swing, and two aggressive launch sets that promise more twists that are wrapped up.
