The clash between India and England in the 1st Test of the 2024 series continued at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Day 2, and it brought forth some gripping moments. Here’s a live recap of the action from the 1st session.
In a pivotal moment, England’s batsman cum all rounder Joe Root showcased his knack for taking Indian wickets as he claimed the prized scalp of the young Indian batsman, Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal, who had been playing an attractive knock, couldn’t convert his promising innings into a century.
Root delivered a nicely tossed-up ball that dipped onto the left-hander. Jaiswal, attempting a forward drive, failed to account for the late dip, resulting in a thick inside edge. The ball lobbed back at Root, who leaped and completed a brilliant caught and bowled dismissal. Jaiswal departed for 80 runs, including 10 boundaries and 3 sixes.
Tom Hartley Took Maiden Wicket , As Shubman Gill Got Back To Pavillion.
The second setback for India came when Tom Hartley claimed his maiden Test wicket by dismissing Shubman Gill. Gill, who had seemed tentative against spin throughout his innings, succumbed to a poor shot.
Facing a flighted delivery drifting into the right-hander, Gill failed to reach the pitch of the ball but still attempted a shovel shot. Unfortunately, he dragged it off the inner half of the bat, finding the fielder Duckett with precision at mid-wicket. shubman Gill departed for 23 runs, including 2 boundaries.
As the morning session progressed, England found themselves in a favorable position with the early breakthroughs. The visitors’ bowlers capitalized on the situation, leaving India with the challenge of rebuilding their innings. The match promises further excitement as both teams battle it out at one of India’s iconic cricket venues.
