India A vs England Lions Live Cricket Score, Day 1: Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan Keep Momentum Going
India A vs England Lions, Live Cricket Score:
Karun Nair and Sarfaraz Khan resisted the England Lions bowlers to take India A to 86 for two at lunch on the first day of the four-day Unofficial Test here on Friday.
Karun (26 not out) and Sarfaraz (17 not out) looked extremely comfortable in the middle after the Lions pacers nicked off openers Abhimanyu Easwaran and Yashasvi Jaiswal early.
Skipper Easwaran (8) was the first to depart, falling leg before to left-arm pacer Josh Hull.
However, Jaiswal (24, 55b) will be hugely disappointed by his dismissal.
The left-hander was quite at ease against the English bowlers for a large part of his over an hour-long stay, but chose to play an expansive drive off pacer Eddie Jack, only to be caught behind by skipper James Rew.
However, Karun, who played some delightful drives through the cover, and Sarfaraz negated the Lions bowlers effectively during their unbroken 35-run alliance for the third wicket.
Playing XI:
India A: Abhimanyu Easwaran(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shardul Thakur, Harsh Dubey, Anshul Kamboj, Harshit Rana, Mukesh Kumar

Gautam Gambhir Press Conference Live Updates: Team India's new Test captain Shubman Gill, coach Gautam Gambhir to address media today
Gautam Gambhir Press Conference Live Updates: The BCCI has scheduled a pre-departure press conference featuring newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir ahead of India's five-Test series in England. This marks captain Gill's first media interaction since being handed the captaincy to India's Test team, taking over from now retired Rohit Sharma. The five-Test tour of England will require India to play without stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who recently announced their retirements from the format, following Ravichandran Ashwin's decision to quit in December 2024. Head coach Gambhir and Gill will speak to the press ahead of their departure to England, where the first Test will be played at Headingley in Leeds and marks the commencement of the 2025-27 World Test Championship cycle. Gambhir had also engaged with the press ahead of the side's tour of Australia in November last year, but was not joined by the then captain Rohit Sharma. The reason for Rohit's absence was due to the birth of his second child in November, 2024. India A will play the second unofficial Test against England Lions in Northampton from June 6. Captain Gill will play no part in it. How to watch Gautam Gambhir and Shubman Gill's press conference? The press conference featuring head coach Guatam Gambhir and skipper Shubman Gill will take place at BCCI Headquarters in Mumbai on June 5, 2025, at 7:30pm IST.
