OUT! Jasprit Bumrah is on fire at the moment! After Joe Root and Ollie Pope, he has taken the wicket of Jonny Bairstow who looked good for his 25 runs. Much like Root, Bairstow edged one to slips and Shubman Gill in the slips does a fine job. Jonny Bairstow c Shubman Gill b Jasprit Bumrah 25(39)Ā
Play has resumed in the third and final session of the day's play with Jasprit Bumrah having the ball in hand. For England, Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow are out there in the middle and it would be interesting to see which of these two teams come out on top by the end of the day's play.
It has been a session of two halves. England started off by scoring some quick runs in the first part of the session after lunch but India fought back with four wickets. Jasprit Bumrah is the wrecker-in-chief as he scalped two wickets, one of which included an in-swinging yorker to castle Ollie Pope.Ā India are ahead courtesy of these four wickets.Ā

FIFTY for Zak Crawley! The right-hander has batted with a lot of elegance and has scored a quickfire half-century. He would now look to continue this good work and score a big one.Ā
OUT! Kuldeep Yadav has drawn first blood for India and dismissed Ben Duckett with a beautiful delivery. He drew the left-hander to a defensive shot and the ball lobbed up off the edge straight to Rajat Patidar at silly point. India have the breakthrough. Ben Duckett c Rajat Patidar b Kuldeep Yadav 21(17)Ā
Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett have continued the good work that they did before the lunch session. India are leaking runs left, right and centre and England are clearly on top here.Ā
What a session it has been! While Yashasvi Jaiswal got to his double century, England managed to pick up the remaining Indian wickets and restrict them to below 396. England then came out to bat and blazed to 32 runs off six overs. It was a session which England owned and India would look to bounce back after lunch.Ā
England have had a blazing start to this innings with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett scoring a flurry of boundaries. This is exactly the start England would have hoped for and India will need to find a way to break this partnership and prevent it from becoming a big one.Ā
As Day 1 got over after England took some late wickets, from India it was Yashasvi Jaiswal who scored a bunch of runs. Jaiswal went on to score his second Test century. Other than Jaiswal no one in the Indian team got close to a half-century. Jaiswal is still batting on 179 runs in 257 balls with Ravichandran Ashwin on the other end. Jaiswal has already smacked 17 fours and five sixes in his innings so far. He will now be looking forward to the next milestone which is possibly a double century and also will be eyeing to add some more runs to India's total.Ā IND vs ENG 2nd Test 2024 Day 1: Yashasvi Jaiswal's Unbeaten Century Puts India in Firm Control.
Majority of the England's bowling was done by Shoaib Bashir who has taken two wickets already in his first Test match. Rehan Ahmed has also taken a couple of wickets with a late wicket of KS Bharat. What is left of India's batting lineup will try and score as many runs as possible which can trouble England. Otherwise can gain an advantage in the 2nd Test as well.
