IND vs ENG: Sloppy India let England off the hook at Headingley
Jasprit Bumrah of India reacts after Yashasvi Jaiswal drops Harry Brook of England (Photo by) The sky was closing in, the lights switched on, as India fought to find their way in this opening Test of the tour. The Sunday theatre at Headingley had its twists and turns. Earlier under a bright, blue sky the English late middle-order found its mojo to whittle India's lead down to six as Shubman Gill's boys spilled chances that came their way. And just when it seemed the hosts were on the ascendancy after removing first-innings centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal early, they ran into some stiff resistance by two Indian batters who seemed to be on a mission.

Till one of them — Sai Sudharshan — hit a middle-stump half-volley from Ben Stokes straight into the hands of Zak Crawley at short mid-wicket. Trying to make amends for his first-innings duck on Test debut, Sai, playing extremely late and close to his body, had battled his way to 30. His 66-run partnership with senior pro KL Rahul (batting on 47), seemed to be taking India to safe shores at the end of Day 3, till the lapse happened on the part of the left-hander. Rahul, though, at the other end, seemed to be in a different zone. There was a lot of help for the English pace bowlers, but not for once did it seem that the Karnataka batter was under any threat. Beautifully balanced with his bat face low and playing close to his body, Rahul kept the scoreboard ticking. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo India finished the third day at 90-2. India's Day 3 Test Review: Cloudy skies ahead | Weather twist at Headingley England let off the hook early For now, the game is in the balance, but things could have been much rosier for India. They got overnight centurion Ollie Pope (106) cheaply in the morning, paceman Prasidh Krishna being the beneficiary of a loose shot. With Jasprit Bumrah in the middle of a wonderful early spell, India were just one wicket away from taking control. But Prasidh and Mohammed Siraj were poor, to put it mildly. They hardly bowled the full length that is crucial for extracting the early movement, and Brook cashed in on anything short. On Saturday night, he had survived after getting out for a duck off a Bumrah no-ball, and it might have given him the belief that luck was on his side. Jasprit Bumrah press conference: Lashes out at critics, dropped catches and no balls There's a bit of natural flair in his game too, especially on true surfaces where there is not much spin on offer. He lost his captain Stokes (20), at a crucial juncture when England were 195 runs short of the Indian total, but that didn't stop him from launching a counter-attack. Another dropped catch at 82 by Jaiswal — again off Bumrah — with the second new ball gave him more confidence and at the other end, wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith (40) too showed some spunk before throwing it away. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Brook's luck, though, finally ran out at a time when he was one short of his ninth Test century. His attempted hook off Prasidh couldn't clear the deep square-leg boundary as Shardul Thakur completed the catch. It was after this that India completely lost the plot. Brydon Carse and Chris Woakes tried to get the lead down and went into an attacking mode, as Gill's inexperience as captain came to the fore. With Prasidh and Siraj going for runs, he had to bring Bumrah and Jadeja back but he delayed it for far too long. The next 50 runs that India allowed to leak might just prove vital in the final outcome. Bumrah (5-83) did finally do the needful after being brought back for another spell, but England by then had enough oxygen to take the fight forward.

IND vs ENG: Drama at Headingley! Jasprit Bumrah denied wicket by shocking no-ball call
Jasprit Bumrah (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: It was a day when no Indian bowler toiled as relentlessly as Jasprit Bumrah . England, replying to India's formidable first-innings total of 471, ended Day 2 at 209/3 — all three wickets belonging to Bumrah. As always, when India needed a breakthrough, they turned to their premier pacer, and Bumrah delivered. Bumrah consistently created opportunities, but India failed to capitalise. Ben Duckett was dropped twice early in his innings and made the visitors pay with a fluent 62, before Bumrah finally uprooted his stumps in his second spell. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Ollie Pope, a nervy starter, survived the early phase and cashed in once the ball softened and the pitch eased out. He went on to score a century. Bumrah returned late in the day to induce a false shot from Joe Root and then seemingly dismissed Harry Brook — only to be denied by a heartbreaking no-ball call. That drama unfolded in the final over of the day. Bumrah, searching for his fourth wicket, bowled a short delivery wide outside off. Brook attempted a pull, mistimed it horribly, and Mohammed Siraj sprinted in from short mid-wicket to complete a fantastic diving catch. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Best Life Starts Today Maximus Learn More Undo India celebrated, ready to walk off with the momentum — until third umpire intervention revealed Bumrah had overstepped.

Gill and Pant's 209-run partnership followed a 91-run opening stand between Jaiswal and KL Rahul (42). Despite the commanding start, India collapsed in the second session, losing seven wickets for just 112 runs. Ben Stokes (4/66) and Josh Tongue (4/86) led England's fightback with the ball.

Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant look good for India captaincy; don't burden Jasprit Bumrah with leadership role: Ravi Shastri
Former India coach Ravi Shastri says Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant are ideal candidates to captain India in the Test format, given that they have age on their side and already have the experience of leading IPL sides. Shastri also feels that Jasprit Bumrah would have been an obvious choice for the leadership role in the traditional format but for his fitness issues, the pacer should be protected from the additional burden. "See for me, Jasprit would have been the obvious choice after Australia. But I don't want Jasprit to be made captain and then you lose him as a bowler," Shastri said on the latest episode of the ICC Review with Bumrah's wife Sanjana Ganesan. The selectors will have to pick a new Test captain following the recent retirement of Rohit Sharma. 5 5 Next Stay Playback speed 1x Normal Back 0.25x 0.5x 1x Normal 1.5x 2x 5 5 / Skip Ads by by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mountain Gear for Extreme Conditions Trek Kit India Learn More Undo India's next assignment is a five-match series against England, starting June 20 at Leeds. Bumrah, 31, struggled with a back injury sustained in the final Border-Gavaskar Trophy match in Sydney. He was out of action for nearly three months -- early January until April -- and missed India's Champions Trophy winning campaign. Live Events Bumrah returned to play in the IPL after missing a few initial games and has since taken 13 wickets in eight games for Mumbai Indians. "I think he (Bumrah) has to take his body one game at a time. He's coming back now after a serious injury. He'll have played IPL cricket, which is four-over cricket. Now will come the test of bowling 10 overs, 15 overs (in Tests). And the last thing you want is some pressure on his mind being captain as well." With Gill and Pant in their 20s, Shastri feels the board should look at the key factors like age and longevity to decide on the future India skipper. Gill is leading Gujarat Titans while wicket-keeper and attacking batter Pant is captaining Lucknow Super Giants. "You groom somebody and I would say Shubman's looked very good. Give him the opportunity. He's 25, 26 years of age, even give him time," Shastri said. "There's Rishabh as well. I think these two are the obvious ones I'm looking at because of their age and they have a decade ahead of them. So, let them learn. They've got experience as captains, now, captaining their (IPL) franchise and that makes a difference," he added. Shastri said that Gill's calm demeanour makes him a good choice to lead India. "The little I've seen of Shubman looks very interesting. Composed, calm, he has all the qualities," said Shastri about the No.1-ranked batter in the ICC ODI Player Rankings. He also quashed quashed concerns over Gill's form overseas, saying his class and calibre will come to the fore on foreign tours sooner or later. "You people will talk he's not scored runs overseas. You know, that topic always comes, not scored runs overseas. "Sometimes I tell them, go and see your own record, how much have you done overseas? Overseas, overseas, let him play, let him get a run overseas, then he'll score runs. He's a class player. He has a decade of cricket ahead of him for the country," Shastri said. "And I'm sure he'll get cracking in one of the tours, he'll make up for all those runs he's not got on earlier."
