BIRMINGHAM, England :Rishabh Pant combined with Ravindra Jadeja in an unbroken 76-run partnership for the sixth wicket to arrest India's slide in the opening test against England at Edgbaston on Friday.
BIRMINGHAM: Virat Kohli became the latest high-profile wicket in paceman Matthew Potts's fledgling England career as the India star's long wait for another Test hundred continued on Friday (Jul 1).
India were in trouble on Day 1 of the ongoing 5th Test against England at Edgbaston, having lost Hanuma Vihari and Virat Kohli in quick succession after the start of the second session. Rishabh Pant, however, hit a counter-attacking half-century to rescue the team from 98/5, with the help of a good partnership with Ravindra Jadeja. During the knock, he took the attack to Jack Leach, who he loves to bat against, hitting him for two consecutive boundaries before coming down the track to hit him for a huge six down the ground.
Young paceman Matthew Potts dealt India the biggest blow on day 1 of the first Test at Edgbaston when he managed to send Virat Kohli out after the Indian batter chopped on while trying to leave a well pitched up delivery way outside the off stump. The dismissal on 11 meant Kohli's barren patch in international cricket continued. He had looked steady even as wickets fell around him but Kohli once again found a new way to get out.
As the rescheduled fifth Test between India and England began on Friday, it also marked the latest chapter in the long-standing rivalry between Virat Kohli and James Anderson. Both are considered among the best in the world in their respective disciplines and when they come up against each other, it always leads to an enthralling battle. So it's no surprise that when the International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a picture of the two sharing a laugh, it set Twitter alight.
Veteran England pacer James Anderson showed his class yet again on Day 1 of the rescheduled 5th Test against India at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Having removed opener Shubman Gill earlier, Anderson then broke the stubborn partnership between Cheteshwar Pujara and Hanuma Vihari with a brilliant delivery to the former. Anderson angled the ball into Pujara, but it pitched and straightened, taking the outside edge of the bat before flying to Zak Crawley at second slip. On a pitch where there was little movement on offer, Anderson used all his guile and experience to prise out the India openers
BIRMINGHAM, England : James Anderson struck twice in the morning session to reduce India to 53 for two before rain forced early lunch on day one of the rescheduled fifth test between the sides at Edgbaston on Friday.
