India vs england , England’s Innings: A Spin Challenge Unleashed

Opting to bat after winning the toss, England made a promising start against India’s spin-heavy attack. Despite Mohammad Siraj’s early struggles, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett capitalized on erratic deliveries. The new ball bowlers found some swing, but the turning point came with the introduction of spin.

R Ashwin provided the breakthrough by trapping Duckett lbw, while Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Ollie Pope, narrowly missing an opportunity against Joe Root in the same over. Crawley’s departure further deepened England’s woes. Although Jonny Bairstow and Root displayed resilience, Axar Patel’s exceptional delivery dismissed Bairstow, tipping the balance in India’s favor.

Ben Stokes, aiming to counter the wicket fall, showcased an aggressive stance, reaching his fifty with a switch hit against Jadeja. However, his fiery innings was curtailed by a sharp Bumrah delivery. Axar continued his impact, claiming Ben Foakes’ wicket, and Bumrah removed Rehan Ahmed, leaving England at 246.

India’s Response: Jaiswal Shines Bright

Facing a target of 247, India’s reply was led by the explosive batting of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who dismantled England’s bowlers from the outset. His partnership with Rohit Sharma saw India reach fifty in just 39 deliveries, with Jaiswal particularly punishing debutant Tom Hartley. Although Jack Leach managed to dismiss Rohit, Jaiswal’s unbeaten 76 off 70 balls guided India to a commanding 119/1 by stumps.
