Rishabh Pant reprimanded by ICC for on-field reaction during Leeds Test: All you need to know
Indian batter Rishabh Pant has officially been reprimanded by the International Cricket council for his conduct during the ongoing Leeds Test at Headingley. As per the official ICC website, Pant was found to have breached the Article 2.8 of ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel which is related to "showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an International Match."
One demerit point has been added to Pant's disciplinary record after the charges were brought in by the on-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Paul Reiffel, along with third umpre Ibne Shahid and fourth umpire Mike Burns.
The incident occured during the 61st over of the English innings when Harry Brook and Ben Stokes were batting. Pant - who is also the Indian vice-captain - was having a discussion with the umpres regarding the condition of the ball.
However, the umpires decided not to change the ball and the wicket-keeper showed his disappointment by showing the ball on the ground. There was no disciplinary hearing on the matter since Pant admitted to the offence and accepted the sanctions proposed by Richie Richardson of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of ICC Match Refrees. Notably, this was the first offence by Pant in the last 24 months.
A Level 1 breach of ICC Code of Conduct arries a minimum penalty of official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 percent of a player's match fee along with one or two demerit points on their record.
Apart from his controversy with the umpires, Pant also made the headlines with his centuries in both the innings of the Test match. The left handed batter played a 134 run knock in the first innings and a 118 run knock in the second innings of the match. The Indian vice-captain along with KL Rahul helped his side post a fourth innings total of 364 runs that has put the visitors in a commanding position going into the fifth day of the Test match.

Duckett-Crawley Century Stand Puts IND Under The Pump, ENG 117/0 At Lunch
Last Updated: Chasing a challenging target of 371 for victory, England were 117/0 at lunch break with Ben Duckett unbeaten on 64 and Zak Crawley batting on 42. Indian bowlers' attempts to secure an early advantage were thwarted by Ben Duckett's resilient unbeaten fifty, as England reached 117 without loss by lunch on the final day of the first Test on Tuesday. Chasing a challenging target of 371 for victory, England were led by Duckett (64*) and Zak Crawley (42*) at the break, with the hosts still needing 254 runs to win. Apart from Bumrah, the other Indian pacers — Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Shardul Thakur — were inconsistent and conceded many easy runs, which the England batters were eager to exploit. Bumrah provided the Indian bowling unit's best moment when he outfoxed Duckett with a beautiful off-cutter. However, the secondary pacers failed to create any significant moments of their own and appeared ordinary. Duckett and Crawley, who have together scored over 2000 runs as Test openers, capitalised on anything short or full, playing cuts, pulls, and drives as England's innings gathered momentum, adding 96 runs in the first session after resuming at 21 without loss overnight. The home batters' strategy was clear — play out Bumrah with minimal risk and apply pressure on the other Indian quicks. Duckett led this approach and his cover drive off Prasidh was arguably the shot of the morning. The support pacers struggled with their lengths, prompting bowling coach Morne Morkel to come out and speak to them from the boundary. Meanwhile, Crawley supported Duckett well, standing a foot outside the crease to counteract swing and playing with a straight bat. Bumrah nearly dismissed him on 42, but could not secure a return catch despite a desperate dive. Ravindra Jadeja was introduced to change the pace of the game, but the Headingley pitch, which had been rolled with the heavy roller, did not provide him with the desired turn or bounce. India will need to find better lines and lengths in the second session, with the troubling memories of England chasing down 378 at Birmingham three years ago resurfacing.

India And England Players Wear Black Armbands To Pay Tribute To Dilip Doshi
The Indian and England cricket teams observed silence and wore black armbands on Day 5 of the ongoing Test match at Headingley, paying tribute to former Indian cricketer Dilip Doshi, who died on Monday. The tribute took place before the start of play, with players from both sides lining up in silence for a minute to honour the memory of the left-arm spinner. In a post on X, BCCI said, "Both teams are wearing black armbands today in memory of former Indian cricketer Dilip Doshi, who passed away on Monday. The teams also observed a minute's silence before the start of Day 5." Both teams are wearing black armbands today in memory of former Indian cricketer Dilip Doshi, who passed away on Monday. The teams also observed a minute's silence before the start of Day 5. — BCCI (@BCCI) June 24, 2025 Doshi passed away due to heart issues in London, where he had lived for several decades. With a classical left-armer's action, Doshi scalped 114 Test wickets in 33 appearances, including six five-wicket hauls. Doshi left his mark in the ODIs and finished with 22 wickets in 15 ODIs while maintaining an economy of 3.96. Doshi represented Saurashtra, Bengal, Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire in first-class cricket and picked up 898 wickets in 238 appearances at 26.58. Doshi followed in the footsteps of the famous spin quartet of the 1970s and made his debut at the age of 32. At Nottinghamshire, the West Indies legend Garfield Sobers heavily influenced the left-arm spinner. He made a silent exit from international cricket in the 1980s and gave a compelling account of his cricketing days in his autobiography Spin Punch. Among his accomplished feats, Doshi played an immaculate role with his five-wicket haul in the Melbourne Test of 1981, which helped India orchestrate a memorable victory.

India face prospect of unwanted record with England firmly in control on Day 5 of Headingley Test
India find themselves facing the prospect of surpassing a ignominious record that has been held by Australia for nearly a century with England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett getting the hosts off to a dream start in their chase of 371 at Headingley. read more India seamer Prasidh Krishna has been leaking runs above six-an-over so far in the first Test against England at Headingley. Reuters India face the prospect of achieving an unwanted first after England raced to 117/0 at lunch on Day 5 of the first Test in Leeds after being set a challenging 371 to win. No team in the history of Test cricket, after all, has lost a game after their batters scored five or more centuries. Australia currently holds the record for the most centuries in a losing cause in a Test, with their batters having scored four centuries in their three-wicket defeat at the hands of the 'Old Enemy' England in Melbourne during the 1928-29 Ashes – the legendary Donald Bradman's debut series. It remains the only instance of a team losing after accounting for four centuries. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Five centuries from four different Indian batters at Headingley As for the opening match of the five-Test series between India and England at Headingley, Rishabh Pant made history by becoming only the second wicketkeeper-batter in Test history – and the first Indian – to score twin hundreds in a Test. The 27-year-old headlined India's batting performance with scores of 134 and 118; captain Shubman Gill (147) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) also scored centuries in India's first innings, in which they posted 471. Senior opener KL Rahul later joined the list of centurions with a fine 137 in the second innings, helping India post 364 and set a target of 371. India, however, also suffered batting collapses in both innings – losing seven wickets for 41 runs in their first innings on Day 2 and six wickets for just 31 on the penultimate day. Additionally, a series of dropped chances along with expensive bowling from Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur and even from Mohammed Siraj allowed the Ben Stokes-led Englishmen to post 465, nearly cancelling out India's first innings total. It's not just the Indians who have accounted for centuries in the ongoing Test, with Ollie Pope scoring 106 in the first innings and Harry Brook falling (99) short of the milestone by a solitary run.
