India vs England Day 1 Highlights: India dominate with the bat
India’s top order delivered a composed and aggressive batting performance, led by:
- Yashasvi Jaiswal (101): The young left-hander notched up a fluent century, his third in Tests.
- Shubman Gill (127)*: Gill became only the third Indian captain to score a century in his first match leading the Test side.
- Rishabh Pant (65)*: Known for his attacking flair, Pant counter-attacked late in the day with an unbeaten half-century, including a six off Chris Woakes in the final over.
- England’s bowling attack struggled to extract much from the surface. Woakes finished wicketless, and debutant Bashir and Brydon Carse failed to apply pressure consistently.
- Captain Ben Stokes, who took two wickets, rotated his bowlers frequently but couldn’t halt India’s progress.
