India Vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: Captain Gill Leads From Front With Confident Half-Century

Yashasvi Jaiswal looks to be dealing with a touch of cramp in his arms바카라�unsurprising given the physical and mental toll of a sublime innings. Batting like a man possessed, he바카라�s stood tall against the English attack and is now within touching distance of a well-deserved century. With the ball nearly 48 overs old and conditions still favouring the set batter, Jaiswal will be in no mood to walk away from the crease.

Shubman Gill marked his debut as India바카라�s Test captain with a commanding half-century, reaching the milestone in just 56 balls 바카라� his fastest in Test cricket. His previous quickest fifty came off 60 deliveries against the same opposition in Vizag last year. Gill brought up the landmark in style, pulling a short ball from Josh Tongue to the midwicket boundary. It was an authoritative innings full of intent and control, setting the tone for India바카라�s reply and firmly establishing his presence as a leader from the front.

In a record-breaking start to the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul etched their names into the history books by becoming India바카라�s most successful opening pair in Tests at Headingley. The duo surpassed a 39-year-old record held by the iconic pair of Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth, who had stitched a 64-run stand at the venue back in 1986.

Now this promises to be an intriguing passage of play. With England introducing off-spinner Shoaib Bashir into the attack, all eyes were on how India바카라�s batters would counter him 바카라� and Jaiswal wasted no time showing intent. He opened the account with a slash behind point for four, setting the tone. Bashir, however, responded smartly, getting some dip and turn to force Jaiswal into a tentative stab to point. A quick single followed to mid-on, before Gill calmly worked the final delivery to short third for another single, keeping the strike and the scoreboard ticking.

It's boundaries galore at Headingley as Yashasvi Jaiswal goes on the charge! He pounces on a half-volley from Woakes, timing it sweetly through cover for four. The very next ball, a back-of-a-length delivery, is met with a crisp punch through point 바카라� another boundary. And he바카라�s not done yet 바카라� Jaiswal repeats the dose, smashing yet another four through

Fifty up for Yashasvi Jaiswal 바카라� his first on English soil and his 16th in Test cricket! The landmark came as he worked a short ball off his chest through square leg and jogged through for a single, earning a warm ovation from the Headingley crowd. The young left-hander, already known for scoring runs across conditions, now adds England to the list after piling on centuries and fifties in India and Australia. This was his fourth half-century against England and a continuation of the prolific form he displayed in the Anthony de Mello Trophy earlier in 2024.

This latest milestone marks Jaiswal바카라�s sixth 50-plus score against England in just 10 innings, underlining his dominance over their bowling attack. He had tormented them during the home series in 2024, amassing a staggering 724 runs, and has picked up right where he left off in the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Confident, composed and free-flowing, Jaiswal continues to grow as a force in Test cricket, delivering once again on the big stage.

Drama and momentum shifts marked the opening exchanges of the session as Brydon Carse nearly had Yashasvi Jaiswal trapped plumb in front with a searing yorker that struck him on the toe 바카라� but a costly no-ball spared the Indian opener, who was on 45. A massive let-off for India. Shubman Gill, meanwhile, began to find rhythm. He opened the face to guide a wobble-seam delivery from Woakes between slip and gully for four, then rode his growing confidence with a pair of elegant boundaries 바카라� one a crisp drive through mid-off, the next punched past midwicket. England's lbw appeal against Gill was turned down, with replays suggesting it was heading down leg, and the hosts opted not to review.

A moment of chaos and relief for India early in the session as Shubman Gill survives a run-out scare. He nudged Carse to short midwicket where Ollie Pope pounced quickly and fired a throw at the stumps with Gill well short of his ground 바카라� but missed! To make matters worse for England, the ball ran away for four overthrows, gifting India five runs. Pope will rue that missed chance. Meanwhile, Chris Woakes replaced Ben Stokes and bowled a probing over with three slips and a gully in place, consistently pitching full outside off. Gill wisely let the first five balls go and defended the final one solidly to end a tense maiden over.

Welcome back to Headingley for the post-lunch session on Day 1 of this highly anticipated Test! The players and umpires are back out in the middle, and all eyes are now on India바카라�s new Test captain, Shubman Gill, who finds himself in an unfamiliar role 바카라� batting at number 4 for the first time in his Test career. With two quick wickets falling just before lunch, the pressure is on Gill to steady the innings and guide India through a tricky phase. The session promises to be crucial in shaping the flow of the day.

India looked firmly in control for the better part of the first session of the opening Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Headingley, but two wickets in the final six balls before lunch helped England claw their way back into the contest. At the break, India were 91 for 2 after asked to bat, with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal unbeaten and holding the innings together after a commanding start.

Jaiswal and KL Rahul had blunted the new ball expertly, putting on a fluent 91-run opening stand. The pair combined elegance and discipline, collecting 16 boundaries exclusively through the off side, as they took full advantage of the width offered by England's seamers. Both looked largely untroubled, with Jaiswal in particular batting with the same authority he displayed in the previous India-England series, where he amassed over 700 runs.

The only real moment of discomfort came when Jaiswal wore a sharp delivery from Brydon Carse on the ribs. England바카라�s frustration mounted, leading them to waste a DRS review on a hopeless lbw appeal. The hosts toiled with little success for most of the session, but a late burst turned the tide. Carse finally found success with a wide outswinger that Rahul edged to first slip for 42, and moments later debutant Sai Sudharsan nicked a leg-side delivery from Ben Stokes to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith for a four-ball duck.

The late double-strike means England head into the second session with renewed energy, while India will need to rebuild around the well-set Jaiswal. The session ends with the match finely balanced on an evenly-paced Headingley surface.

England strike twice in the space of six deliveries to turn the tide of the session dramatically. Sai Sudharsan, making his Test debut, endures a forgettable outing as he falls for a duck. After surviving a sharp first delivery from Carse and a leg-side appeal off Stokes, Sudharsan finally succumbed to a loose ball sprayed down leg by Stokes바카라�trying to glance it fine, he only managed an inside edge through to keeper Jamie Smith. The left-hander punched his bat in frustration as he walked off, his dismissal leaving India suddenly rattled after such a composed start.

Finally, England get the breakthrough they were desperately hunting for, as KL Rahul falls just before lunch. Brydon Carse, who had been probing outside off, tempts Rahul into a loose drive with a wide delivery that nibbles away. Rahul obliges but only manages to edge it straight to Joe Root at first slip, who takes a sharp catch to his right. The dismissal ends a well-constructed 91-run opening stand, just nine short of becoming India바카라�s first-ever century opening partnership at Headingley. Rahul departs for a composed 42, providing India a solid start and setting the tone alongside Jaiswal, but it's England who walk into the break slightly relieved.

There are few sights in cricket as pleasing as KL Rahul in full flow, and he treated the Headingley crowd to a sublime cover drive off a Stokes outswinger, caressed for four while down on one knee바카라�a shot of sheer elegance that also took him past Jaiswal바카라�s score. Carse was brought back into the attack but began with a full toss that Jaiswal couldn't quite punish, only to follow it up with successive boundaries바카라�one slashed to deep point off another full toss and four more via leg byes as the ball glanced off his pad. With the runs flowing and both batters settled, India have wrested control in this opening session.

Ben Stokes makes an immediate impact with the ball, beating KL Rahul바카라�s outside edge with a probing delivery that shapes away off the seam. He follows it up with one straying down leg before tempting Rahul into a loose drive outside off, which fails to connect and flies safely to the keeper. It바카라�s a testing maiden from Stokes, full of intent and trademark energy, hinting at potential breakthroughs to come.

A surprise yorker from Josh Tongue catches Yashasvi Jaiswal off guard, thudding into his pads with the bat nowhere in sight. But coming from round the wicket, the angle was always working against the bowler, and the DRS confirmed what Jaiswal suspected 바카라� the ball was comfortably sliding down leg and hadn't even struck him in line. Adding insult to injury, Jaiswal responded in style on the very next delivery, unfurling a sumptuous straight drive past the bowler for four to close out the over.

Yashasvi Jaiswal endured a testing passage of play with a couple of nervy moments against the new ball. Chris Woakes beat him on the outside edge with a beautiful delivery that shaped away late, and shortly after, Jaiswal missed out on a cut shot off Brydon Carse, slashing at one that wasn바카라�t quite there to hit. The pressure built further as Carse dug in a sharp back-of-a-length ball that rose awkwardly, cramping Jaiswal for room and thudding into his ribs 바카라� a painful blow that left the left-hander visibly uncomfortable at the crease.

Not as authoritative as Jaiswal바카라�s earlier stroke, but KL Rahul will gladly take it. Facing his seventh delivery, he throws his hands at a full ball outside off from Brydon Carse and gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies in the air but safely races away through the vacant gully region for his first runs바카라�a boundary. No further damage in the over as Carse keeps it tight, but Rahul is off the mark. Earlier, Jaiswal had opened India바카라�s account in the Test with a streaky boundary of his own, edging Woakes behind square off the outside half. The Indian opener, who was the top scorer in the previous series between these two teams, has survived the early probing spells and is settling in.

Jaiswal opens his account바카라�and the series' boundary tally바카라�with a streaky but effective four! It was full and just outside off, shaping away slightly from the left-hander. He reached out, playing late under his eyes, and managed a thick outside edge that rolled safely along the ground, threading the gap between third slip and gully. Not the most convincing start, but they all count, and India are underway with their first boundary.

The two teams lined up solemnly for a moment's silence ahead of the national anthems, paying tribute to the victims of the tragic Air India plane crash that occurred last week in Ahmedabad. With heads bowed and a hush over the stadium, players and officials came together in a powerful gesture of respect and solidarity, honouring the lives lost in the heartbreaking incident.

Brydon Carse marks a significant milestone as he plays his first-ever Test match on home soil, with all five of his previous Test appearances coming in overseas conditions. In contrast, England바카라�s talismanic all-rounder Ben Stokes adds another feather to his cap by featuring in his 50th home Test, underlining his enduring presence and impact in England바카라�s red-ball setup.

Joe Root stands just two catches away from equalling the record for the most catches by a fielder in Test cricket.

Both teams will wear black armbands today as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives in the Air India plane crash. Out thoughts are with all those affected by the terrible events that took place in Ahmedabad last week

India Playing XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, B Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Prasidh Krishna, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

England Playing XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir

Ben Stokes (England Captain): "We are gonna have a bowl. Headingley is a good cricket wicket. We have had a few good games here. We want to use the conditions early. It's been a long time since we have played in June. We are all excited and ready to go.

We have had some lads playing County cricket, some lads had their bodies rested. We got the usual suspects in top 7. The bowling attack has Woaksey, Brydon, Josh Tongue, myself and Shoaib Bashir."

Shubman Gill (India Captain): "We would have bowled first as well. It has been a dry summer. Great day. The sun is out. Looks like a good batting day for us. Preparation has been good. We have gone with 3 seamers, with Shardul in the team. Sai is making his debut. He will bat at 3. Karun is back."

India will bat first against England in Leeds in the 1st Test with Sai Sudharsan, making his debut and will bat at no. 3.

"His challenge is not to let hands go when the length is not there to be driven. Play in the 바카라�V바카라�, take nice stride on front foot and defend well 바카라� driving is just extension of that."

Visuals show Sai Sudharsan being handed out Test cap by none other than Cheteshwar Pujara. Sudharasan could come to bat out at no. 3 with opening slot still up for grabs.

Today's Test match starts off a new era for Indian cricket in Tests as after 5050 days, they will play the longer format of the game sans Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin & Rohit Sharma.

Headingley is usually known to be a ball-first track. Captains winning the toss could opt to bowl, given the overcast conditions and green track. The conditions could get better for the batters in the middle as the surface will get better by Day 2. Bowling first will be the ideal thing to do.
