The Indian cricket team surrendered to a meek loss at the hands of England in the rescheduled 5th Test at Edgbaston on Tuesday, with the hosts chasing down a mammoth fourth innings target of 378 runs in around 2 sessions to inflict a demoralising and humiliating loss at the Indians. This is India's third straight loss in an away Test match in 2022 and signs are not great.
India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant ruled the roost on Day 1 of the ongoing fifth Test against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Friday. With India 98 for five at one stage following a top-order collapse, Pant led India's revival on the opening day, alongside all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. The 24-year-old scored a 89-ball century to lead India's charge, before eventually getting out on 146. While Pant hit 19 boundaries and four sixes, he also rotated the strike sensibly during his 222-run stand with Jadeja.
Ravindra Jadeja said after the second day's play in the rescheduled fifth Test against England. Earlier on Saturday, he completed a well deserved century (104) -- a mature and responsible innings -- to help India reach 416, which looked unlikely after he had joined Rishabh Pant at 98/5 on the opening day of the match. "As a player, a hundred in England is very good. I was always thinking of leaving balls outside the off-stump, because discipline is important (in English conditions), otherwise you can get caught in the slips," said Jadeja who is a left-arm spinner and more than adept at batting lower down the order. "As a batsman, my self-confidence will go up."
As the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) shared highlights of Day 1 of the ongoing 5th Test between England and India, India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik was not best pleased with the headline. "Joe Root Dismisses Dominant Pant," ECB had headlined the video. Sharing a screenshot of the same, Karthik said the headline could be "much better and apt". "After such an engrossing, enthralling days play, I'm sure the headline can be much better and apt than this," Karthik tweeted, tagging ECB.
BIRMINGHAM, England : England lost opener Alex Lees early in their reply to India's first-innings of 416 on day two of the rearranged fifth test at Edgbaston on Saturday.
Stuart Broad on Saturday became the third pacer in Test cricket history to claim 550 wickets. He dismissed Mohammed Shami on Day 2 of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test match between India and England at Edgbaston in Birmingham to register the record. The right-arm England pacer needed just one wicket to reach the milestone when he had entered the game but he remained wicketless on Day 1 despite bowling 15 overs. It was in his 16th over of the match and the first on Day 2 when Broad finally got a wicket.
Rishabh Pant led India's fightback by smashing his fifth Test century on Day 1 of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston. Pant scored a counter-attacking century off just 89 balls as India managed to recover from a top-order collapse. The 24-year-old hit 15 boundaries and a six en route the 100-run mark. With India reeling at 98 for five, Pant and Ravindra Jadeja stitched an unbeaten partnership for the sixth wicket and took India past the 200-run mark.
Rohit Sharma returning to lead both white-ball sides. Rohit, who has been ruled out of the Edgbaston Test, starting on Friday, after testing Covid-19 positive, is expected to recover and be fit for the white ball series, beginning on July 7 in Southampton. So he has been named as the skipper for both T20I and ODI series.
