Despite the weather interruptions, both teams have managed to put on an entertaining battle over the past three days. Let's check the weather report for the IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 4 here.
India posted a formidable 471 in their first innings, led by a brilliant century from Yashasvi Jaiswal, followed by tons from captain Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. On the second day, after India's innings, rain poured at Headingly delaying England's start.
The Three Lions started cautiously after Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Zak Crawley for just 4, but then Ben Duckett's half-century helped stabilise their innings. Ollie Pope stole the show with a fine century (106), while Harry Brook anchored the innings into Day 3, narrowly missing out on a ton as he fell for 99.
England managed 465 in their first innings, just six runs behind India. By stumps on Day 3, India were 90/2 in their second innings, with Shoaib Bashir troubling Shubman Gill before rain forced an abrupt end to proceedings. The umpires called it stumps just before 18:00 BST as the rain got heavier, leaving the game perfectly balanced as it awaits Day 4 proceedings in Leeds. .
The much-anticipated five-match Test series has already delivered drama, with debutant Sai Sudharsan experiencing the highs and lows of Test cricket--dismissed for a duck in the first innings and scoring 30 in the second, both times falling to England captain Ben Stokes.
