India A vs England Lions Day 4, Live Updates: Anshul Kamboj, Mukesh look to wrap up England's innings
India A vs England Lions Live Updates, Day 4: Anshul Kamboj and Mukesh Kumar look to wrap up England's innings India A vs England Lions Live Updates, Day 4: The first warm-up Test match on India's tour of England is set to wind down to a close, as India A and England Lions look likely to see out a draw in a high-scoring game that has been a treat for batters, but not quite one for bowlers. With only one day's play left before the teams pack up at the Spitfire Ground in Canterbury and head off for Northampton, it will be a day that is for going through the motions, and just sharpening things up a little bit more as the preparations really begin to fall into tune. ...Read More Day three saw England Lions bat out the day to reach 527-7, only 30 runs behind India A's total from their first innings. The Lions have had three centurions in their innings so far, with Tom Haines, Max Holden, and Dan Mousley all reaching triple figures. For India A, it was Mukesh Kumar who impressed with three wickets, looking more impressive and extracting more from the pitch than he did on day two, and especially compared to his teammates. Just as a matter of pride, both teams will be eyeing up that 30 runs deficit: Lions will want to overtake it with some batting still available to them, but India A will know they are into the tail, and a heightened effort and application on the fourth morning will allow them to take a small win away from this game, with a first innings lead. More significant will be for Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhimanyu Easwaran to make the most of the second chance at batting they look likely to receive, both Indian A openers having had a quiet time of it in the first innings. Jaiswal in particular will want to be completely at ease against the swinging ball in English conditions before the Test series starts in 18 days, and that will mean he has to make the most of the opportunities he is presented now. There's no result coming in this game, but still plenty of time left for a player or two to make a statement and make their cricket selector panels sit up and take notice. Follow all the updates here: June 2, 2025 2:30 PM IST India A vs England Lions, Day 4, Live Updates: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Day 4 of the first unofficial Test between India A and England Lions. India A will look to wrap the England innings up and get out there batting again. England Lions still have three wickets in hand and the hosts trail by just 30 runs. Action to resume at 3:30 PM IST. Stay tuned for updates.

India A vs England Lions Live Updates, Day 3: Anshul Kamboj, Shardul Thakur eye breakthroughs
India A vs England Lions Live Score, Day 3: Anshul Kamboj and Shardul Thakur will look to get early breakthroughs India A vs England Lions Live Score, Day 3: If day one of the warmup four-day unofficial Test between England Lions and Inda A belonged to the visiting team, day two certainly belonged to the hosts. They might still trail by 320 runs, but with only two wickets down and centurion Tom Haines at the crease, the Lions will be backing themselves to get closer to India A's total during day three. ...Read More For India A, the ambition will be to take wickets, something which has been tough throughout this match. Their bowlers haven't enjoyed the same joy as their batters did on day one of the contest, with none of the young pace corps stepping up to take initiative and really manufacture something special. Anshul Kamboj did impress with right line-and-length bowling, but India A will be disappointed with Mukesh Kumar and Harshit Rana conceding at more than 5 runs per over during their spell. India A also tried out plenty of spin, Harsh Dubey bowling the most overs for them on day two, and while that resulted in a wicket, the Ranji Trophy season's leading wicket-taker didn't find the same consistent joy. With Max Holden attacking from one end and Haines holding strong, India really need to figure out how to crack the code and find quick wickets on the morning of day two, otherwise risk throwing away the excellent start provided by Karun Nair and company. England Lions will score, and score quick like the senior team, and inasmuch could prove to be a big threat. The positive for India will be the ability to attack England Lions during the morning session, which is certainly when the ball is moving the most and the bowlers present the most threat. It will present an opportunity to put some pressure on the batters. If not, this match will likely meander its way to a draw with only two days of play left. It will be more important from an Indian perspective to get back in to bat so that Yashasvi Jaiswal can get more time in the middle and get accustomed to English conditions, and facing bowlers used to them, as well as Nitish Kumar Reddy, who had a poor showing in the first innings. Follow all the updates here: June 1, 2025 1:31 PM IST India A vs England Lions, Live Updates: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Day 3 of the ongoing first unofficial Test between India A and England Lions. India A in desperate need of wickets in a bid to take a first-innings lead. Stay tuned for all action.

Anshul Kamboj, fresh from an eye-catching stint with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), turned heads with his performances on Day 2 of the 1st unofficial Test against England Lions on Saturday. Kamboj outbowled the likes of Mukesh Kumar and Harshit Rana, while also picking the important wicket of Ben McKinney. As the youngsters continue to showcase their talent ahead of the senior side's 5-match assignment against England, Kamboj is making a strong case for himself. Top class bowling from Anshul Kamboj. — Dexter Morgan (@idexXxtermorgan) May 31, 2025 Anshul Kamboj is looking really impressive to me. So accurate with the lines he is bowling and almost every ball he is making the batter play at it. Excellent bowling this from Anshul. Yeah he can go a li'l fuller sometimes but the way he is bowling is brilliant. He can pitch the… — Dipanjan Chatterjee (@I_am_DipCh) May 31, 2025 At stumps on Day 2, England Lions had reached 237/2, after India A put 557 on the board. Before that, India A extended their command over the Lions with a solid batting effort led by Karun. Karun made 204 off 281 balls (26x4, 1x6) as India A continued their strong march after resuming from the overnight score of 409 for three. Karun, who resumed from overnight 186, brought up his 200 off 272 balls with a four over covers off pacer Eddie Jack. But India lost two quick wickets of overnight batter Dhruv Jurel (94) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (7). Karun and Jurel added 195 runs for the fourth wicket before the latter's dismissal. Karun too could not continue for long after reaching his double hundred, edging an in-coming delivery from pacer Zaman Akhter to stumper James Rew. Once Karun was dismissed, the Lions pacers went through the rest of the India A line-up with regular blows.

Who is Anshul Kamboj? The India A pacer who outshone Harshit Rana and Shardul Thakur in unofficial Test vs England Lions
Haryana pacer Anshul Kamboj is going from strength-to-strength and is making a strong case for earning an India call-up pretty soon. The tall speedster who is currently a part of India A's playing XI for the first unofficial Test against England Lions in Canterbury, is making the ball talk, hence impressing fans and pundits worldwide. The 24-year-old has outbowled the likes of Shardul Thakur, Mukesh Kumar and Harshit Rana and it is a tremendous feat considering this is Kamboj's first time playing in the UK. In the nine overs, Kamboj bowled on Day 2 of the first unofficial Test, the pacer gave away just 24 runs. He also took the opening wicket for India A as he rattled the stumps of England Lions opening batter, Ben McKinney. The ball bowled on a good length and held its line, but McKinney was unable to get his bat down in time. Eventually, the delivery rattled the left-handed batter's off-stump. Anshul Kamboj became a household name in November 2024 when he took all 10 wickets in an innings in the Ranji Trophy while playing for Haryana against Kerala. He returned with figures of 10/49, becoming only the third bowler in the history of the Ranji Trophy to take all 10 wickets in a single innings. Earlier, Bengal's Premangshu Chatterjee (10/20) and Rajasthan's Pradeep Sundaram (10/78) had achieved this feat in the Ranji Trophy. Speaking of Anshul Kamboj, he has played 22 First-Class games so far, taking 74 wickets at an average of 22.16. He has also taken two five-wicket hauls in his short career. In addition to 22 First-Class matches, Kamboj has played 25 List A matches and 30 T20s for Haryana, taking 74 wickets. The Haryana pacer represented Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season after being picked up in the auction for INR 3.40. Kambojn did not feature in the starting XI in the initial few matches. However, he finally got his chance against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In his first match for the franchise, he returned with one wicket. Eventually, Kamboj played eight matches for CSK in the 18th edition of the T20 tournament, taking eight wickets. His best performance came against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium where he scalped three wickets. After one IPL game, Anshul Kamboj was also praised by the CSK talisman MS Dhoni, saying the tall pacer gets impeccable seam movement. 'Kamboj is someone who doesn't get swing, but he gets some seam movement, the ball hits you harder than the speed gun suggests,' said Dhoni.
