Bazball, rain or shine, was the message from England’s assistant coach Paul Collingwood, after a whirlwind first day at Edgbaston where the initiative swung from England to India, powered by a century from the meteoric Rishabh Pant.
England's assistant coach Paul Collingwood was all praise for Rishabh Pant's 'world-class' innings which rescued India from shaky 98 for five and then took them to ascendancy on Day 1 of the fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Friday. "Today was a great day, I don't feel our backs were against the wall for too long, but hats off to the way Pant played," Collingwood said in a press conference. Pant smashed his way to 146 off 111 deliveries as the visitors raced to 338 for seven after being sent in to bat.
Paul Collingwood gave a massive compliment to India's young wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant who bailed out the visitors from a precarious situation with a superb century on day one of the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbston on Friday. Pant produced a phenomenal innings of 146 runs off just 111 balls, rescuing India from a very difficult 98/5 after being sent in to bat by England skipper Ben Stokes. Pant's record 222-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (83 not out) eventually helped the team go past the 300-run mark and reach 338/7 at stumps. "I take my hat off to the way Pant played. When you play against world class players, they can do world class things. And today he had his day," said Collingwood after the opening day's play.

Netherlands captain Pieter Seelaar on Sunday announced his retirement from international cricket due to recurring back problems. Cricket fans will never be able to forget his spell at the 2011 World Cup against India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi where he returned with figures of 3-53 in 10 overs. During his spell, Seelaar sent Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Yusuf Pathan back to the hut in a span of two overs.
