India vs England 1st Test Day 2, ENG vs IND Highlights 

The ENG vs IND clash unfolded with electrifying drama as Jasprit Bumrah, India’s pace spearhead, tore through England’s top order with a scintillating spell, scalping three crucial wickets opener Zak Crawley, the flamboyant Ben Duckett, and the seasoned Joe Root leaving the visitors reeling. 

Yet, England’s innings was anchored by a defiant and masterful century from Ollie Pope, whose gritty resilience single-handedly kept his team’s hopes alive against a relentless Indian attack. In a heart-stopping moment late in the day, Bumrah nearly snatched a fourth wicket when Mohammed Siraj pulled off a breathtaking catch to dismiss Harry Brook, only for the jubilation to turn to disbelief as replays revealed Bumrah had overstepped, nullifying the dismissal and granting Brook a dramatic reprieve to fight another day on the crease.

In a thrilling twist at the Headingley Test in Leeds on Saturday, England’s fiery captain Ben Stokes and the relentless Josh Tongue ignited a spectacular collapse, skittling India from a commanding 430/3 to a mere 471 all out, as seven wickets tumbled in the first two sessions of Day 2. 

Earlier, India’s dazzling centurions Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant had woven a breathtaking 200-plus run partnership for the fifth wicket, only for Gill to fall prey to Shoaib Bashir’s guile and Pant to be snared in front by Tongue’s lethal precision.

Blundering at the toss on a batsman’s paradise, Ben Stokes and his beleaguered England side face the looming threat of a colossal first-innings deficit as Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rishabh Pant unleashed a ferocious onslaught, propelling India to a commanding 359 for three by stumps on Friday evening. 

The groundwork for their post-lunch carnage was masterfully laid in the morning session, where KL Rahul and Jaiswal’s sublime blend of steely caution and audacious aggression ruthlessly neutralized England’s seamers, who toiled helplessly on a lifeless pitch offering scant assistance.
