IND Vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: Cautious Start From Jaiswal, Rahul In Swinging Conditions

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.
