IND vs ENG: England- 21/0 at Stumps chasing 371 to win in Leeds

New Delhi: India began Day of the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds at 90/2, cautiously adding 63 runs in the morning session. Shubman Gill fell early but Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul turned their promising starts into magnificent centuries.Their contrasting styles were a treat to watch- while Rahul took the more orthodox approach, Pant’s knock was a blend of defence and audacious stroke-making. Together, they added 195 runs, seemingly batting England’s chances out of the game.However, the second new ball brought England roaring back into the contest. Pant, unable to resist his attacking instincts, holed out in the deep off Bashir. What followed was a dramatic collapse, with India losing their last six wickets for just 31 runs.Josh Tongue was the wrecker-in-chief, claiming three wickets in four balls, as India’s lower order crumbled. Ravindra Jadeja batted out five overs at the end, but some questioned whether that time could have been better spent bowling.India eventually set England a target of 371, a total that looked far more achievable than it had earlier in the day. By stumps, England’s openers had knocked off 21 runs without any alarms, leaving the match tantalisingly poised.With 90 overs left to play, England needed 350 runs to win, while India required 10 wickets to seal the match. Adding to the drama is the forecast of rain tomorrow, which could play a decisive role in the outcome.The stage is set for a thrilling final day. Can England pull off a historic chase or will India’s bowlers rise to the occasion? With all four results still possible, the fifth day promises to be an enthralling finish to what has been a fascinating Test match.India 11- Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.England 11- Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (captain), Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir.India resume from 90/2 in 23.5 overs (KL Rahul 47, Shubman Gill 6),India- 100 runs in 28.4 overs (173 balls), Extras 3,KL Rahul- 50 off 87 balls (7 x 4),Drinks: India - 118/3 in 37.0 overs (KL Rahul 54, Rishabh Pant 17),Lunch: India - 153/3 in 48.0 overs (KL Rahul 72, Rishabh Pant 31),RR Pant: 50 off 83 balls (8 x 4),KL Rahul: 100 off 202 balls (13 x 4),Drinks: India - 234/3 in 62.0 overs (KL Rahul 100, Rishabh Pant 82),Rishabh Pant: 100 off 130 balls (13 x 4, 2 x 6),Tea- India - 298/4 in 75.0 overs (KL Rahul 120, Karun Nair 4),New ball taken after 80 overs,Drinks: India - 349/7 in 90.1 overs (Ravindra Jadeja 10),India: 350 runs in 91.4 overs (556 balls), Extras 18,Innings Break: India - 364/10 in 96.0 overs (Ravindra Jadeja 25),Stumps: England - 21/0 in 6.0 overs (Zak Crawley 12, Ben Duckett 9).
