16:20 IST:11.3: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, No run.
16:19 IST:11.2: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, No run.
16:19 IST:11.1: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, FOUR! Lovely Shot!
16:19 IST:KL Rahul has scored the most runs among Indian openers since 2015 in Tests. Before this match, it read 2803 runs at an average of 35, which includes 14 half centuries and 7 tons. Change of ends for Chris Woakes. 5-1-14-0 so far.
16:17 IST:10.6: Josh Tongue to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Bowls it well short now and wide as well, Jaiswal backs away and cuts it straight to the backward point fielder.
16:17 IST:10.5: Josh Tongue to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! That one, on the other hand, was asking to be hit! A juicy half volley on off, Yashasvi Jaiswal shows the full face of the bat and drills it back past KL Rahul at the other end and the ball rolls away to the fence.
16:16 IST:10.4: Josh Tongue to Yashasvi Jaiswal, And again, Yashasvi Jaiswal getting a bit restless! Not all that short and angled across off, Jaiswal starts to fall back as he looks to thrash the ball away square on the off side and misses.
16:16 IST:10.3: Josh Tongue to KL Rahul, Good length delivery sliding on the pads, KL Rahul looks to work it behind square, but misses. The ball hits him near the thigh pad region and starts trickling towards deep fine leg. The batters sneak in a leg bye.
16:15 IST:10.2: Josh Tongue to KL Rahul, Angled in on off, on a good length, KL Rahul defends it to point.
16:14 IST:10.1: Josh Tongue to KL Rahul, Full toss on off, KL Rahul drives it back to the bowler.
16:14 IST:In their first game as an opening pair, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal stitched up 201 runs as an opening partnership against Australia. The first bowling change of the morning and the Test. Josh Tongue into the attack.
16:13 IST:9.6: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ouch! That must have stung Yashasvi Jaiswal! Brydon Carse bangs this one over leg stump, Jaiswal gets a bit side on and the ball just rushes him, leaving him no room to escape. Jaiswal gets a blow just under the arm guard and on the hip bone, it seems.
16:12 IST:9.5: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Pitched-up delivery around middle and at 142 kph, Jaiswal just covers the line and blocks it down the pitch.
16:11 IST:9.4: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Full and on the fourth stump line, sliding straight on. Left alone by YJ and this one zips through to the keeper.
16:11 IST:9.3: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ahh... impatience? Or just the modern day cricketer, trying to attack? The second point is not that bad, just that the ball was not too bad either. Yes, it was short of a length, outside off, but not all that wide. Yashasvi Jaiswal went hard on the cut but missed. Carse heard something but no one gave him support. Ben Stokes is off the field for now. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ollie Pope would be in charge for now but his DRS record isn't too promising.
16:10 IST:9.2: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, And now, a bit too straight. Rahul tucks it off his hips through square leg for a single.
16:09 IST:9.1: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Too wide again. Landed on a length, but pretty far outside off. Moves away but KL Rahul is in no mood to flirt with that.
16:08 IST:8.6: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Pitched up around off, angling much further away, easy leave this time for Jaiswal.
16:08 IST:8.5: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Just full of a good length and on off, not much swing there, Jaiswal plays it late and nudges it down towards the slip cordon.
16:07 IST:8.4: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, YJ tries to step down the pitch but Woakes sees him coming and spears this one in. Jaiswal pushes it towards mid on.
16:07 IST:8.3: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Much better. Woakes gets the ball to land around off and makes Jaiswal play at it. Then, the ball moves away off the deck, after drawing him forward, to beat the outside edge.
16:06 IST:8.2: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, This one swings a mile. Pitched well outside off, on a fuller length, Yashasvi Jaiswal lets it pass.
16:05 IST:8.1: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Outside off, left alone.
16:08 IST:A draw in Galle? Well, usually in Galle, Sri Lanka, Test matches don't end in a draw. They give one result or the other. But the way this opening Test between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh seems to be going, we might end up seeing 15 sessions, only to result in a handshake. Bangladesh's 495 was met by Sri Lanka's 485 and with the score reading 112/2 for Bangladesh with around 90 minutes to go for Stumps on Day 4, seems like a draw is the lilkeliest result.
16:04 IST:7.6: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Well bowled and well left! Good length, in the channel, angling in and then straightening down the line. Rahul plays well inside the line.
16:04 IST:Stokes has just given a signal to Josh Tongue, to get loose. Might see him from Woakes' end in an over or two.
16:04 IST:7.5: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Goes fuller now and tries to entice the batter into a cover drive. KL watches it all the way and makes a leave.
16:03 IST:7.4: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Well negotiated! Hard length, targeting the top of off stump, just nibbles away. Rahul presses back and keeps it out to gully.
16:02 IST:7.3: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, On a length, but wide outside off. The ball pitches and then moves away but is too wide to be played at.
16:01 IST:7.2: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Full and straight, Rahul watches the ball closely and plays it late. Blocks it right under his eyes towards mid off.
16:01 IST:7.1: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Excellent ball. On a length, around off, KL Rahul looks to defend but the ball pitches and then seams away, past the outside edge.
16:01 IST:The on-air commentators are still not sure about the toss decision. Michael Atherton informs us that on Thursday, there was much more grass on this pitch and a lot of it seems to have disappeared in a day. Additionally, with the sun beating down and the ball not swinging much, this is looking to be a good pitch to bat upon and also, could end up being a good toss to lose.
16:00 IST:6.6: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Half an appeal for LBW but it's probably doing too much! Perfect length from Woakes, lands it on middle and leg and gets it to swing back in sharply. Jaiswal once again plays all around a straighter one and the ball thuds into the pads.
15:59 IST:6.5: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Prodigious swing this time! Nagging length on middle, this one nips away square and Jaiswal does well to curtail his inhibitions and not attempt the cover drive. Leaves it alone.
15:58 IST:6.4: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Pitched up on middle, Jaiswal stands a bit outside of his crease and solidly blocks it off.
15:58 IST:6.3: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, On a length but down the leg side, Rahul taps it in front of mid on and takes a quick single.
15:58 IST:6.2: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, Good effort by Ollie Pope. Full, outside off, KL Rahul looks to work it through the leg side but the ball swings away and takes the inner half of the bat. Scoots through mid-wicket and Pope gives it a chase from mid on. Gets to the ball near the fence and pulls it back in, just inside the ropes. The third umpire wants to check whether Pope has touched the rope or not, while pushing the ball back and the replay confirms that the fielding is fine. Two runs taken.
15:57 IST:6.1: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, Full, outside off, left alone.
15:57 IST:Housefull. No, not the movie but the crowd at Headingley. Sold out for the first three days, informs Michael Atherton on air. He admits that it is by no means, at full capacity right now, but is confident that as the day wears on, the people will start to arrive.
15:57 IST:5.6: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Good delivery! Carse goes fuller and bowls it on leg, getting the ball to swing back in sharply, Jaiswal plays all around it and gets hit high on the thigh pads.
15:55 IST:5.5: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Good length, close to the off stump line, going straight on and left alone by Jaiswal.
15:54 IST:5.4: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Played with soft hands! Dragged length over middle, Yashasvi Jaiswal gets a bit squared up, but tries to defend with a straight bat. The ball takes the outside edge and goes down wide of the slip cordon and rolls away into the fence.
15:53 IST:5.3: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, The length is held back this time, angling away, outside off, Jaiswal lets it pass.
15:53 IST:5.2: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Streaky? Well, yes. Carse throws it full and wide outside off and Jaiswal takes the bait. Goes hard on the drive and gets an outside edge which sneaks past gully to the deep third fence. That's the modern cricketer for you. Will let let go of width.
15:52 IST:5.1: Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Full, around off, watchfully defended.
15:53 IST:Uh oh... just 5 overs into the match and we already have a warning. A friendly warning, as might be it. Umpire Chris Gaffaney is not happy with the landing area of Woakes and brings it to his attention. Woakes tries to be cheeky and walk past Gaffaney but the umpire calls his name out loudly and grabs his attention. Shows the areas where his followthrough his ending up and asks him to stay away from the danger area.
15:51 IST:4.6: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, Full, outside off, a touch wide, let through.
15:51 IST:4.5: Chris Woakes to KL Rahul, On a good length, around off, finally some movement for Woakes, KL Rahul stays back and defends it to the off side.
15:50 IST:4.4: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Pitched up, around off, as Woakes searches for swing, but does not get much. YJ leans into the shot and eases this through the covers for a single.
15:49 IST:4.3: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Outside off again, angling away, Yashasvi lets it pass.
15:49 IST:4.2: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, A touch short in length, around middle and leg, at the rib cage, Jaiswal tucks it towards the short leg area.
15:48 IST:4.1: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, On a length, outside off, moving away, Yashasvi Jaiswal watches it pass.
15:47 IST:3.6: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Full and wide outside off, let through.
15:46 IST:3.5: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Full and just outside off, KL defends it towards mid-wicket.
15:46 IST:3.4: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, A bit too straight, Rahul looks to flick it away but misses and is hit on the pads.
15:45 IST:3.3: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, A touch wider outside off, let through once again.
15:44 IST:3.2: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, On a length, outside off, left alone this time.
15:44 IST:3.1: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, EDGED, FOUR! Oooh... Stokes will be smiling at that. A mistake induced from Rahul. On a length, outside off, just a touch wide, KL Rahul goes for it, without moving his feet, aiming to punch it through the off side but gets a thick outside edge. Luckily for him, it goes to the right of gully and escapes to the deep third fence.
15:43 IST:2.6: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, On a length, outside off, tempting Yashasvi to drive, he lets it be.
15:42 IST:2.5: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! FANTASTIC! Really easy on the eye. On a length, outside off, Jaiswal comes forward and with high extension of his elbows, gets to the pitch of the ball. Shows the full face of the bat and drives it through mid off for his first proper conventional boundary.
15:42 IST:2.4: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Confident stroke. Full, outside off, Yashasvi Jaiswal leans and drives it between cover and cover-point. The fielder gets to it near the ropes and keeps the batters to a couple.
15:41 IST:2.3: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, On middle and off, watchfully defended.
15:40 IST:2.2: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, That is interesting. This is just the 14th ball of the Test match and already, Yashasvi Jaiswal is walking down the track, to counter the swing. Woakes drags the length back though, nipping it back in. Jaiswal misses his tuck and is hit on the pads. Too high.
15:40 IST:2.1: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Full, outside off, moving away, left alone.
15:39 IST:1.6: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Good swing, but again wide outside off. Easy leave. Much better over from Carse, as compared to Woakes.
15:38 IST:1.5: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, On a good length, wide outside off, KL Rahul stays back and shoulders arms.
15:38 IST:1.4: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, More swing. Full, outside off, swinging away nicely, but too wide to be played at. KLR lets it go with a lunge.
15:37 IST:1.3: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, On middle and leg, KL nudges it towards square leg.
15:36 IST:1.2: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, On a good length, this one nips away off the seam, from middle, Rahul pushes it to the off side.
15:36 IST:1.1: Brydon Carse to KL Rahul, Oh wow. Very first ball from this end and Brydon Carse gets a lot of swing. Starts the ball on middle stump and then swings it nicely towards off stump, fuller in length. A watchful KL Rahul defends.
15:35 IST:0.6: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! First boundary of the match, but England won't mind that. Full, around off, hint of inswing, Yashasvi Jaiswal comes forward to defend but the ball nips in a touch and takes the outside edge. However, he does not go with hard hands and hence, the edge goes straight to ground. Goes through the slip cordon and races to the deep third fence.
15:34 IST:0.5: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Add one more to the left-alones category, outside off.
15:33 IST:0.4: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, A touch fuller, outside off, but pretty wide, left alone again.
15:43 IST:0.3: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Action replay of the previous delivery.
15:43 IST:0.2: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, On a length, outside off, angling away, Jasiwal shoulders arms.
15:31 IST:0.1: Chris Woakes to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Not much swing to start on this sunny day. Full and straight, Yashasvi Jaiswal drives it towards mid off.
15:32 IST:The national anthems have been sung and the players march out to the middle again for the highly anticipated Test series and match to begin. Some ex cricketers from England have already named this as a 'warmup' for the 'more important' Ashes later this year, Down Under, earning a lot of criticism from the world. India, on the other hand, will be keen to showcase their talent to the world. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will open for the visiting side and Chris Woakes will start off proceedings to Jaiswal. Here we go.
15:27 IST:The players make their way out to the middle for their respective national anthems. Before the anthems, a minute's silence will be observed as a mark of respect to the victims of the Ahmedabad tragedy on 12th June, 2025. Everyone stands in respect. The players are also wearing black-arm bands on their jerseys. Time for the anthems then. The Indian national anthem will be sung first, given that India are the visiting side.
15:48 IST:PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta is inspecting the pitch. He reckons that this is a seamer-friendly venue. Adds that there is a good layer of green grass covering, but feels it to be a little cold. Dasgupta mentions that the forecast suggests that the weather is going to be sunny and hot. He mentions that historically in the last 6 games, bowling first teams have won.
15:08 IST:Shubman Gill, India's captain, says they would have bowled first as well as there might be some help initially in the first session. However, he feels that after the first session, it should be a good wicket to bat on with the sun out. On asked about preparation, he says the preparation has been amazing, they have played a few practice games and the squad is in good mental space. He mentions that they are playing 3 fast bowlers and Shardul Thakur. He also says that Sai Sudharsan is making his debut and he will bat at number 3.
15:40 IST:England's skipper, Ben Stokes, reckons that Headingley is generally a pretty good wicket. Says that it is the end of June, and for this to be just the 2nd Test of the summer feels a bit weird. On the preparation, he says a few of the lads played county cricket and overall they had a great 3 days of preparation. Informs that the bowling lineup consists of Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir and himself.
15:39 IST:India (Playing XI) - Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.
15:30 IST:England (Playing XI) - Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (C), Jamie Smith (WK), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue and Shoaib Bashir.

IND vs ENG 1st Test: Sanjay Manjrekar uses KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal for massive dig at Virat Kohli; ‘a former batter…'

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar minced no words in taking a massive dig at retired Virat Kohli following the Shubman Gill-led side's domination in the first innings of opening day of the first innings against England on Friday in Leeds. Manjrekar's remarks came after Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul took their time in the middle to negate the England pace attack that featured the likes of Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jos Tongue and Ben Stokes. With the ball doing a bit, both Jaiswal and Rahul whatever offered wide of the off-stump. The duo added 91 runs before Rahul slashed a Carse delivery only to be caught at the first slip by Joe Root just before lunch. The Kohli reference came from India's tour of Australia earlier this year when the former India captain poked deliveries on the fourth and fifth stump lines only to see him get out eight time in nine innings in a similar fashion. Notably, the weakness really troubled Kohli for most part of his Test career. He retired from the longest format last month. On Friday, Rahul and Jaiswal showed no signs of hurry as the duo pounced on the loose deliveries for boundaries. Manjrekar, who is commentating in the series, poked at Kohli. "Deliveries outside the off stump, full, have been left alone. Jaiswal has done that. Anything that has been pitched right up into the stumps, he has driven. Anything that has been wide, he has looked to score on. KL Rahul has not touched one delivery or attempted to play one single delivery that's been full, just outside off. Anything that has been wide, he has gone with a covered drive," said Manjrekar on air. "So a lot of what you're seeing is being created by these two batters, and my hat's off to them. We know of a former batter who would have gone after that delivery and got himself into trouble. But not these two," added the former cricketer. Although Manjrekar didn't mention Kohli's name, it was certain that he pointed out at former India captain. After the Test retirements of Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India handed Sai Sudharsan a debut while also recalling Karun Nair after a huge gap of eight years. While Sudharsan was out for a duck on debut at no.3, new captain Shubman Gill batted at no.4 (Kohli's batting position), followed by vice-captain Rishabh Pant. Nair, all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur follow.

Lord of the Pings on social media for sharply dividing selection call, Shardul Thakur, had this to say about playing in England

He's the most holy debated selection on the Indian team, but Shardul Thakur got the nod ahead of Nitish Kumar Reddy for the first Test at Headingley. It might be the runs he scored in the intra-squad matches, or his prior experience in England, but Coach Gautam Gambhir chose the Mumbai seaming all-rounder ahead of a top spinner and a fellow utility batter all rounder in Reddy. For the man himself, playing in England remains special. Speaking to BCCI TV before the Test, Thakur had said that the team was keen to show England that India were there to 'put up a show.' A grand show. 'Now England team is also playing different type of cricket. So we would like to surprise them also and prove we are here to put up a show,' Thakur told the board channel. He labelled playing in England his fondest memory. 'I think 2021 series where we won couple of games (was memorable). The first one also we could have won but unfortunately it rained on last day and we couldn't chase down the total. But then we won at Lord's and at the Oval,' he recalled. 'Then we came back for the fifth Test next year and series was level. But that was one of the fondest memories for me. It's one of the best series I've been part of,' he said. Former bowling coach Bharat Arun had seen merit in picking him before the toss up with Reddy, and mostly based on his bowling. 'I think if I'm not mistaken he's got about two or three fifties on the trot and he came up with very important breakthroughs whenever given the ball. He can move the ball and bowled in early 130s,' Arun told IANS via Sony. He had reckoned the decision would be made based on how they were bowling at that particular moment. While social media considered him washed up after having had his moment in Australia, Arun had told IANS, 'Shardul has done very well for us in England on the last tour. He was very handy with the bat.' Speaking to BCCI TV, he said, 'It's very exciting to play in this part of the world where you face different challenges. First one is of course weather. Sometimes cloudy, sometimes bright sunny. As a player you need to make adjustments to your game, whether batting or bowling.' Speaking on the rest of the team, he had said, 'It's good to have that fresh energy in team. Few youngsters coming up. New talent is always exciting.' For someone who's got results in England and Australia, including that 50 at Oval, Thakur, now 33, brings some experience to a young line-up, though his selection chopped it's fair share of brickbats. 'It's always great to win an away series, away from home. If we can achieve this feat, it would be massive for the entire nation,' he told BCCI TV.

ENG vs IND: Sai Sudharsan first Indian batter in 14 years to bag duck in maiden Test knock

B Sai Sudharsan will have to wait a little longer for his first runs in Test young batter was dismissed for a duck in his maiden innings for India after edging a delivery down the leg side in the final over of the opening session of the first Test against England at Headingley, was tasked with the responsibility of negotiating a tricky passage of play-the final six minutes of the morning session-after India lost their first wicket. He walked in at No. 3 following KL Rahul's dismissal, which ended a solid opening partnership of 91 runs with Yashasvi Sudharsan appeared nervous at the crease, clearly eager to get off the mark. In his short stay, he was involved in a couple of hesitant calls with Jaiswal, attempting to steal quick singles by playing the ball late-signs of a debutant eager to make an on the fourth delivery of the final over before lunch, Ben Stokes bowled an inswinger that was never threatening the stumps. The ball started from leg stump and swung well outside the pads. Keen to get bat on ball, Sudharsan tried to flick it fine in search of a boundary. Instead, he got a faint edge, which was neatly taken by wicketkeeper Jamie looked dejected as he trudged back to the pavilion without troubling the young Tamil Nadu batter, who won the Orange Cap in IPL 2025 for the Gujarat Titans, thus joined an unwanted list of Indian players dismissed for a duck in their first innings in Test cricket. He is the first Indian since Umesh Yadav in 2011 to suffer that NEED TO CRTICISE HIM: PUJARAadvertisementSenior batter Cheteshwar Pujara, who presented Sudharsan with his Test cap during the team huddle on Friday morning, urged fans and pundits not to be overly critical of the debutant."It was a bit unfortunate-getting caught down the leg side," Pujara told Sony Sports."When you're playing your first game, you're eager to get off the mark, and that's probably why he went for that ball, even though it was quite wide of leg stump. Normally, he wouldn't go for that. But he was tense-it's natural on debut. Let's give him some time."He's a confident cricketer. There's no need to criticise him harshly. These things happen, and I'm sure he'll come back stronger in the second innings. On debut, getting out down the leg side is just one of those things-there's not much a batter can do in that situation."India went to lunch at 92 for 2, having handed England a chance to claw their way back into the contest. Jaiswal and Rahul had dominated the first 90 minutes, making Stokes momentarily question whether choosing to bowl first was the right bowlers struggled to hit the right lengths and lines, but the dismissal of KL Rahul titled the balance in favour of the OF INDIAN BATTERS WITH DUCKS IN FIRST TEST INNINGSCT Sarwate – 1946JK Irani – 1947SA Banerjee – 1948Ghulam Ahmed – 1948SP Gupte – 1951GS Ramchand – 1952JM Patel – 1955MS Hardikar – 1958VM Muddiah – 1959MM Sood – 1960BS Chandrasekhar – 1964UN Kulkarni – 1967ED Solkar – 1969GR Viswanath – 1969DD Parsana – 1979K Srikkanth – 1981Maninder Singh – 1982RGM Patel – 1988V Razdan – 1989A Kuruvilla – 1997R Singh – 1999DJ Gandhi – 1999R Vijay Bharadwaj – 1999A Ratra – 2002PA Patel – 2002WP Saha – 2010R Ashwin – 2011UT Yadav – 2011B Sai Sudharsan – 2025
