The India tour of England 2025 is officially underway, with the first Test being played at Headingley in Leeds. England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to bowl first, putting India in to bat. Led by Shubman Gill, a young Indian side is missing the experienced duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and will look to its emerging talent--including debutant Sai Sudharsan and the returning Karun Nair--for a strong start. The venue has been a mixed bag for India--back in 2021, they were bowled out for just 78 in the first innings, their third-lowest total in England. Yet it바카라™s also where they posted their second-highest total in the country: 628. Catch the best moments and pictures from the live action in Leeds right here.
