IND vs ENG 1st Test: India's star pacer Jasprit Bumrah struck on the last ball of his first over and took England opener Zak Crawley's wicket. He had bowled a peachy delivery to dismiss Crawley.

He had bowled the delivery over the wicket and the ball landed at middle and off. Crawley mistimed the flick shot and the delivery pitched straight up and that squared up Crawley.

India's star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant too thought that the ball would come in and Crawley would step out to play it. Both Crawley and Pant were left stunned by the way the ball straightened, as it also produced a leading edge. The ball then went behind the keeper and Karun Nair, who was standing at first slip, took a stunning catch.

Josh Tongue helped England make a brilliant comeback as he took a four-fer and helped the team skittle India out for 471 runs on the second day of the series opener in Headingley.

The Shubman Gill-led side were on the verge of posting a target between 500-600 runs as they were 430/3, with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant out there in the middle. But the team suffered a batting collapse as they lost seven wickets and could score just 41 runs and thus they posted a target of less than 500 runs. Tongue played a huge role as he registered brilliant figures of 4/86.

As far as the visitors are concerned, posting a target of less than 500 was a little disappointing since three of their top five batters had smashed hundreds. They will try to take advantage of the bowlers-friendly pitch as Jasprit Bumrah will be leading their bowling attack.

Overcast conditions, light rain, and thunderstorms were predicted for the afternoon and that will help the Shubman Gill-led side a lot. After the first innings, the hover cover was used as it was pelting down and the start of the second innings was delayed.

During the first innings, the visitors restarted their innings at 395/3, with skipper Shubman Gill registering his career-best knock of 147 runs and Rishabh Pant scoring a scintillating century.

The first innings consisted of two halves as a gritty partnership of 53 runs was stitched before the drinks break and that's when Pant brought up his seventh Test hundred and also broke MS Dhoni's record of scoring most tons as an Indian wicket-keeper batter in the longest format.

Gill began the second day by playing a brilliant cover drive in Chris Woakes over and smashed a four whereas Pant had also smashed fours in Brydon Carse's over. The duo smashed fours continuously and in that process, Pant also scored 90 runs by smashing a four and a six in Shoaib Bashir's over.
