India vs England Live Score, 1st Test, Day 3: Team India eyes some quick wickets in the second session of Day 3 of the first Test against England. Currently, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope are standing unbeaten at the crease and stitching a strong partnership for one-down England.
The rollicking 80 that Yashasvi Jaiswal made against England in the first Test in Hyderabad is a validation of the team management's belief that the left-hander is India's next all-format opener. Jaiswal might have used a cliche - intent to play positive cricket - to describe his 74-ball blitz that gave India early momentum against the visitors, but the knock is certain to resonate more deeply within the walls of the dressing room. "I don't think it was any tactic (attacking England spinners early on Thursday evening), as I was just thinking to play well against certain balls, play some positive shots," Jaiswal humbly offered in his post-day press meet on Friday.
Ravichandran Ashwin was left disappointed during Day 2 of the first Test match between India and England on Friday after a horrible mix-up with Ravindra Jadeja led to his dismissal. During the 91st over of the Indian innings, Ashwin played a shot off Joe Root towards cover and went for a quick single. Jadeja initially responded to his call but turned back when the fielder quickly reached the ball and threw it to the wicket-keeper. It was too late for Ashwin and he ended up running to the other side with both batters now on the non-striker end. England wicket-keeper Ben Foakes calmly collected the throw from Tom Hartley and finished the run-out. Ashwin stared at Jadeja after the dismissal and then walked back disappointed with the video of the whole incident going viral on social media.
Ravindra Jadeja's two-layered fifty and KL Rahul's mastery were at the heart of India's 421 for seven, a total which placed them several miles ahead of England after the second day's play of the first Test in Hyderabad on Friday. Jadeja (81 batting) and Axar Patel (35 batting), who added 63 runs for the unbroken eighth-wicket stand, are at the crease at stumps. India's lead has now swelled to 175 runs, and England would find it tough to wipe that out once their turn to bat come on third day.
Former India captain Anil Kumble has pointed out a major flaw in young batter Shubman Gill's technique after he got out for cheap in the ongoing 1st Test against England in Hyderabad. Resuming from his overnight score of 14, Gill was dismissed on 23 by England debutant Tom Hartley. Gill's attempt to swat Hartley ended in the hands of Ben Duckett at mid-wicket, giving the left-arm spinner his maiden Test wicket. While speaking during the lunch break on Day 2, Kumble feels Gill needs to learn how to rotate strikes, especially against the spinners.
England cricket team skipper Ben Stokes was left stunned and even he could not help but appreciate the brilliant delivery from Jasprit Bumrah that dismissed him on Day 1 of the first Test match against India in Hyderabad on Thursday. Stokes was the only England batter to score a half-century but his innings came to an end thanks to a stunner from Bumrah. The ball from Bumrah seamed away sharply and although he stepped out of the crease to play a big shot, Stokes missed it completely and the ball crashed into his stumps. The England batter took a second to comprehend what has happened and broke into a smile of appreciation for Bumrah and his wicket-taking delivery.
Former India captain Anil Kumble suggested that England missed a trick by not giving the ball to Joe Root on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test in Hyderabad. Yashasvi Jaiswal and the bowlers put India in control on Day 1 after the visitors opted to bat. Ben Stokes led the way with the bat for England, slamming 70 but the Indian bowlers did well to restrict them to 246. In reply, Jaiswal raised his way to an unbeaten 76 in the final session as India ended Day 1 at 119/1.
Former England cricket team batter Kevin Pietersen was trolled heavily on social media by ex-India opener Wasim Jaffer after his prediction regarding England's batting on Day 1 of the first Test match against India on Thursday went horribly wrong. At the start of day's play, Pietersen took to social media to post that he believes England will declare their innings on 450/9. However, Ben Stokes was the only England batter to cross the 50-run mark as Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets each to bowl out the visitors for 246 in the third session. Jaffer was quick to react to Pietersen's prediction on X (formerly called Twitter) and his witty reply even had a reference to Dinesh Karthik.
