IND vs ENG Test: Joe Root on cusp of smashing Sachin Tendulkar's record as England stun India at Headingley
England's Joe Root (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) Joe Root once again proved why he is England's modern batting titan with a calm, unbeaten knock that sealed a historic chase for the hosts in the Headingley Test. While Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley laid a rock-solid foundation with their 188-run opening stand, it was Root who ensured India never got a sniff once the game got tense post-tea. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Walking in during a tricky phase, Root's fluent 53 not out steered England home and also brought him tantalisingly close to a milestone that only a handful in cricket history have managed — and one that has Sachin Tendulkar 's name etched at the very top. Root now stands just a couple of fifties away from equalling Tendulkar's iconic Test record, underlining his unreal consistency in the longest format. Ben Stokes Press Conference: On India without Jasprit Bumrah, the collapses and more Most 50s in Test 68 - Sachin Tendulkar 66 - Joe Root* 66 - S Chanderpaul 63 - Rahul Dravid 63 - Allan Border 62 - Ricky Ponting 58 - Jacques Kallis 57 - Alastair Cook This Headingley win, England's second-highest successful chase, was a testament to the maturity of the 'Bazball' era: bold but measured when needed. Root's knock was the glue amid all the fireworks — showcasing poise and precision against India's best, including a fiery Jasprit Bumrah who toiled all day without reward. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? For Indian fans, it was heartbreak as the visitors squandered a commanding position. Shubman Gill's first Test as captain ended in a tough lesson about closing out games overseas, despite heroic centuries from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Root, meanwhile, continues to rewrite records with every game. With four more home Tests against India this summer and the Ashes ahead, fans and pundits are watching with bated breath: will the Yorkshireman topple the Master Blaster's mark this year?

'India's batting line-up is like a dobermann dog': Dinesh Karthik highlights viral description as England win
Shubman Gill-led India stumbled to a five-wicket loss in the first Test of the five-match series against England at Headingley, Leeds on Tuesday. The hosts chased down 371 owing to a 149-run knock by opening batter Ben Duckett. It is fair to say that India have only themselves to blame as twice in the contest, the lower-middle order let England come back. In the first innings, India lost their final seven wickets for 41 runs on the board, while in the second innings, the final six wickets fell for 31 runs. Here's what Dinesh Karthik had to say about India's batting lineup, considering Shubman Gill and co lost the Headingley Test.(AP) In both innings, India had the chance to shut the door on England, but a dismal lower-order performance helped England come back. In the end, this mistake proved costly as England ended up gaining a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. In the first innings, India looked set to reach the 550-600-run mark but a horrendous collapse resulted in Gill and co getting bowled out for 471. Similarly in the second innings, India would have planned to set a target of more than 420 to England, but a loss of wickets in a cluster resulted in the hosts chasing just 371. Much of the internet chatter has been about India's non-existent tail and how the lower order never scores runs when the team needs it the most. During Day 5 of the first Test, former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik also addressed the viral description of India's batting, leaving Ian Ward and Michael Atherton in splits. Also Read: Shubman Gill minces no words after India fail to defend 371 vs England in his 1st Test as captain Speaking about the same on Sky Sports Cricket, Dinesh Karthik said, 'I just saw on Twitter with someone saying the Indian batting is like a dobermann dog.' 'The head is good, the middle portion is okay, but there is no tail at all,' he added. Jasprit Bumrah has a rare off day at the office Jasprit Bumrah, who returned with five wickets in the first innings, had a rare bad day at the office as he failed to take a single wicket in the second innings. Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur returned with two wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja took one. After the loss, Shubman Gill was once again asked about Bumrah's role in the series. It has already been made clear that the speedster would just be playing three Tests in the series against England. Speaking about the same, Gill said. 'It's definitely more game by game, you know there's a good break after the Test match, so once we're close to the match we'll see,' said Gill. India and England will now square off in the second Test, beginning July 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has chip fracture in left wrist, timeline for return unknown
Jun 25, 2025 02:18 AM IST CHICAGO (AP) — Arizona outfielder Corbin Carroll has a chip fracture in his left wrist and his timeline for a return is unknown, manager Torey Lovullo said. HT Image Lovullo told reporters Monday night after a 10-0 win over the Chicago White Sox that Carroll would 'continue to get some opinions just to find out what that official diagnosis means and what the time frame will be.' Carroll hasn't played since a pitch hit him in the left hand last Wednesday in Toronto. X-rays at the time showed no fracture. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and outfielder Jake McCarthy was recalled from Triple-A Reno. 'That's a little bit confusing to all of us,' Lovullo said of the chip fracture. 'It's on the back of his hand. The impact of the ball hit the side of his hand. Just goes to show you how hard these guys are throwing today. Definitely that fracture in there.' Carroll is batting .255 with 20 homers and 44 RBIs this season. He was the NL rookie of the year and an All-Star in 2023. The Diamondbacks saw infielders Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor leave Monday's game with injuries. Suárez left after he was hit on the right hand in the first inning on a pitch from Shane Smith. The team announced he had a right-hand contusion and X-rays were negative. Naylor appeared to injure his shoulder on a swing in the second inning and left in the fourth after grounding out. He is day-to-day with right shoulder discomfort. ___ AP MLB:
