England clawed their way back into the Test match on Day 2 in Headingley, dominating the Indian bowling attack. England scored 209 runs for 3 wickets in just 49 overs on Day 2. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, the rest of the India fast bowlers were rendered ineffective. Poor ground fielding and catching did not help India's case either.
With 471 runs on the bank, India will look to hit back at England on Day 3, popularly known as the moving day in Test cricket. England on the other hand will to pile some runs on India to nullify the visitor's first innings total. Ollie Pope, who scored a hundred on Day 2, will start the proceedings with Harry Brook.
India were batting incredibly well in the morning session of Day 2. They were 430/3 when Shubman Gill holed out the deep square leg fielder.
After Shubman's wicket, India faced an epic collapse and were bundled out for 471 runs.
This collapse may come back to haunt India later in the game.
England have clawed their way back into the match after being dominated for one and a half days straight. Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope batted extremely well to keep the England fast bowlers at bay.
England were helped by some ordinary fielding on India's part, where they dropped three crucial catches.
This allowed the batters to score freely and with confidence, as they crossed the 200-run mark inside the first 50 overs of their innings.

Belligerent Brook takes England 327/5 at lunch
Leeds, Harry Brook went on the offensive against an inconsistent Indian pace attack, taking England to 327 for five at lunch on day three of the first Test here on Sunday. HT Image Resuming at an overnight 209 for three, Brook ensured that England scored at a brisk pace, totalling 118 runs in 28 overs. They still trail India by 144 runs. The visitors got two welcome wickets of overnight centurion Ollie Pope and England captain Ben Stokes . Like day two, the trio of Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj could not match the accuracy of Jasprit Bumrah. Brook, dismissed off a Bumrah no ball at the stroke of stumps on day two, was dropped by wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant on 46 shortly before lunch. Jadeja, who was able to extract sharp turn from the rough, got one to turn away sharply but Pant could not hold on to the rising ball. In the same over, Brook completed his 12th Test fifty, adding to the frustration of the Indians who have been sloppy with their catching thus far in the game. Led by captain Shubman Gill, the Indians were also very vocal about their issues with a worn out Dukes ball throughout the session. The umpires relented before the 75th over while the new ball will be due after 80 overs. The session belonged to the highly rated Brook who produced a display of audacious strokeplay from the get go. Krishna offered two loose balls in the first over of the day and Brook duly put them for a four through point and six off over mid-wicket. Brook's tactics against the pacers, including Bumrah, stood out as he charged down to them for aerial drives over extra cover. Krishna, in his following over, was lucky to get Pope out as the England number three edged a short and wide ball to the keeper. India's second success came after the first hour as Siraj had Stokes caught behind from round the wicket. While Brook was the enforcer, Jamie Smith chipped in with 29 not out off 45 balls at the other end. The pitch is offering some turn on third day itself and Indian team management might just feel that they are missing their No.1 specialist spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

'I Am Concerned About Bumrah...': Ravi Shastri Urges Other Bowlers To Step Up
Last Updated: Ravi Shastri has expressed concern over Jasprit Bumrah's workload in the Test series against England, as he remains India's key wicket-taker. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has clearly said that he is concerned about ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah and what his workload will be as the five-match Test series against England progresses, as the star bowler was the only one to pick wickets on Day 2 of the Headingley Test. Bumrah will play just three out of the five Tests because of injury concerns, but the initial signs of the Indian bowling attack have been far from optimal. The Indian team relied on Bumrah to create pressure and make breakthroughs. He bowled five and six overs in his first and second spells, before being brought on for one last burst before stumps on Day 2. 'I'm concerned about Bumrah and what his workload will be as the series progresses, because he is the one man who is expected to pick wickets every spell he bowls. I just hope someone at the other end puts their hands up," Shastri said while speaking on Sky Sports. Bumrah finished with figures of 3/48 off his 13 overs, while the rest of the bowling unit have bowled 36 overs, conceding 154 runs at an economy rate of 4.27. Brook would thank his stars as a pull off Bumrah, which was caught by Mohammed Siraj, was adjudged a no-ball in the last over of the day. England didn't quite solve the Bumrah puzzle, but they showed enough spunk to bat through the storm. Pope came to the middle when Bumrah was bowling in a charged atmosphere after he consumed opener Zak Crawley in the first over itself with a peach in a wonderful exhibition of pace bowling. Just as the alliance was swelling, Bumrah, who was used in short, sharp bursts, returned for his third spell and induced an inside edge off Duckett to halt England's free walk. But that didn't deter Pope as he reached his ninth Test century with a cheeky single off Bumrah as sun-washed Headingley greeted the fourth century-maker in two days.

Drama at Headingley! Rishabh Pant loses his cool after umpire denies ball change, throws ball in frustration
Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: How often have we seen Rishabh Pant lose his temper on a cricket field? Rarely, if ever. But on Day 3 of the first Test at Headingley, the usually calm and composed wicketkeeper-batter had a rare moment of visible frustration. The incident occurred when Pant requested the on-field umpire to change the ball. The umpire denied the request, leading to an animated reaction from Pant, who threw the ball away in anger. Jasprit Bumrah also joined the discussion, pointing out the condition of the ball, but the umpire stood firm and rejected the appeal again. Despite the momentary flash of emotion, Pant's bat did all the talking as he continued to rewrite the record books in red-ball cricket. He overtook former India captain Rohit Sharma to become the team's leading six-hitter in the history of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC). Pant has now smashed 62 sixes in WTC matches, surpassing Rohit's tally of 56 in 40 Tests. The 27-year-old has achieved this feat in just 35 matches, amassing 2,386 runs at an average of 41.85, including five centuries and 13 fifties. — flamboypant (@flamboypant) Globally, England captain Ben Stokes leads the WTC six-hitting charts with 83 sixes in 54 Tests. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Laxmi Ji Idol For Wealth, Peace & Happiness Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo Pant also surpassed MS Dhoni to register the most Test centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper-batter.
