England captain Ben Stokes had two big games leading up to the series decider against India at the Oval in London. While his heroics with both bat and ball helped England win the Lord’s Test, with him winning the ‘Player of the Match’ award, Stokes’ improved show at Old Trafford was not enough to see his team home. The star all-rounder first picked up five wickets in the first innings and followed it up with a gritty 141 in England’s reply to India’s 358. In the second innings, he bowled 11 overs, including eight on the trot on the final day, ending up with a sore biceps tendon. He, however, committed to playing in the final Test starting in three days on Thursday (Jul 31).&nbsp;After English bowlers threw down 143 overs in the second innings, Stokes told them that ‘pain is just an emotion’, hinting at freshening up England’s attack for the final Test. He, however, informed feeling 'better' after both teams shook hands on the brink of stumps on day five in Manchester. &nbsp;"It's been a pretty big workload so far in the series," Stokes said after the Manchester Test ended in a draw.&nbsp; &nbsp;"I had a big week last week at Lord's, with time spent out in the middle with bat in hand and obviously overs bowled, and then same again this week. I said it a few times to the guys out there: 'Pain is just an emotion.' It's just one of those things. &nbsp;"It is actually my bicep tendon. It obviously had quite a lot of workload through it, just been creeping around. But yeah, [I spent] a lot of time out in the middle doing my job as an all-rounder this week and [it] just got a little bit flared up… It didn't get any worse throughout the day, just stayed the same, so that's why I kept on going,” he continued.<h3>‘I don’t want to eat my words but…’ &nbsp;</h3>Stokes knows what part of his body hurts the most after he gave it all in the four contested matches, and considering his presence could help the hosts win the final game, he would likely push it through the next Test. He, however, will have ample time to rest and heal before England plays the next Test in Perth during the away Ashes (in November).&nbsp; &nbsp;"Hopefully, it settles down and we'll be good as gold for the last game… I don't want to eat my words, but the likelihood that I won't play is very unlikely,” he added. &nbsp;Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-ind-vs-eng-jamie-overton-added-to-england-squad-for-oval-test-as-hosts-set-to-rotate-playing-xi-1753696808685">England has added all-rounder Jamie Overton to their squad for the fifth Test</a>.&nbsp;

England have won the first Test against India in Leeds by successfully chasing a target of 371 runs by losing only five wickets. This was England's second highest run chase in Test history and their second best against India. India struggled due to dropped catches and sudden batting collapses even after being in strong positions in both the innings. The second Test will take place in Birmingham and starts on July 2. Indian captain Shubman Gill will aim for a better result after losing his first match as skipper. Although Indian batters scored five centuries across both innings but still the team could not win.&nbsp;&nbsp;This upcoming Test is going to be very special for one of England best batsman, Joe Root.&nbsp;Joe Root is close to achieving something that no other Test batter has ever done against India. He already holds the record for most Test runs against them and now stands just 73 runs away from reaching 3000 runs.&nbsp;&nbsp;If he scores those runs in the next match in Birmingham then he will surely become the first player in Test history to cross the 3000-run mark against India.&nbsp;Root has always enjoyed playing against India and the stats prove it, he has scored 2927 runs in 57 innings from 31 Tests with an impressive average of 58.54, including 10 centuries and 12 fifties.&nbsp;Root is not just close to only one record but several others records also. He is currently tied with Rahul Dravid for the most catches in Test cricket, both with 210. One more catch in 2nd Test against India and Root will lead that list.&nbsp;And if he scores three more half-centuries then he will move past Sachin Tendulkar’s 68 Test fifties. &nbsp;Also with just 292 more runs he could also rise to second place in the list of all time Test run scorers behind only Tendulkar.&nbsp;Currently, Root has 13087 Test runs and sits fifth on the all time Test run scorers list. At 34, he still has time to break more records.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Retired India spinner Ravi Ashwin says that current India batter, which are touring England for five Tests, need to extend their batting time and not necessarily runs to give themselves best chance to win. The comments come on the back of India's five-wicket loss in the first Test at Headingley where England chased down a mammoth 371-run target. India were 333/4 in the second innings before a collapse saw them getting bowled out for 364 towards the end of day 4 and gave England a chance to win.

Indian pacers, barring Jasprit Bumrah, were rendered threat-less by Bazball professing England batters in the first Test at Headingley. The hosts won the match by five wickets and out of 15, Bumrah accounted for five wickets (in first innings) while rest of the three pacers - Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna - took nine wickets across two innings.

This in only the fourth time that a hundred partnership has been stitched for the opening wicket at the venue and England openers have made it a best one. The previous record was with Verdun Scott and Bert Sutcliffe of New Zealand who had added 112 runs for the first wicket in 1949. By lunch on day 5, Crawley and Duckett had added 117 runs - the highest fourth innings partnership against India in Leeds. The partnership was eventually broken after 188 runs were added for the first wicket.

The overcast conditions were supposed to benefit the Indian bowlers but the English batters put them at bay with ease. By lunch, Duckett had crossed his fifty - second of the match - while Crawley was batting at 42. The Test match has been mostly in India's favour for the previous four days when they broke multiple batting records despite being an underdog without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma - both of whom retired. In the two innings, India recorded five hundreds - one each from Jaiswal, Rahul, Gill and two from Pant - the first ever instance for them. Pant also became the first wicketkeeper-batter since 2001 and only second overall to score two tons in a Test. Jaiswal and Gill became the first Indian opening pair to score a ton (in any innings) in same Test since Vijay Hazare and Syed Mushtaq Ali in 1936 Manchester Test. Among bowlers, Bumrah surpassed Pak great Wasim Akram (146) to record most wickets in SENA countries by an Asian bowler.

The Test match between India and England is equally balanced as the play continues on the fifth and final day (Jun 24). The players from both teams were seen wearing black armbands to pay respect to Dilip Doshi. The former Indian cricketer passed away at the age of 77 on Monday (Jun 23) and BCCI also paid a tribute to him. Doshi played for India in 33 Tests from 1979 to 1983.&nbsp;India and England players wearing black armbands Both teams are wearing black armbands on the fifth day of the match to pay tribute to Dilip Doshi, the former Indian cricketer. In addition to wearing the black armbands, the players from both India and England observed a minute silence before the start of the days play.&nbsp;Who was Dilip Doshi? Dilip Doshi was a left-arm spinner who made his debut for India in 1973. He played 33 Test matches for the country between 1979 and 1983. During his Test career, he took 114 wickets at an average of 30.71. This included six five-wicket hauls and four instances where he took four wickets in an innings.&nbsp;Doshi also played in 15 One-Day Internationals (ODIs), taking 22 wickets at an average of 23.81. In first-class cricket, he had a remarkable career, playing 238 matches and picking up 898 wickets at an average of 26.58, including 43 five-wicket hauls.&nbsp;He passed away in London, while the Indian team was in Leeds for the first Test against England. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also expressed profound grief and sorrow at the demise of former India cricketer and left-arm spinner, Mr. Dilip Doshi.&nbsp;Coming back to the match, England still need about 350 runs to win. Although chasing such a big target on the final day of a Test is usually very difficult, England’s recent form in Test cricket suggests that it could be possible. Their attacking style of play, known as 'Bazball', has made such chases looks easy. This means that Indian bowlers led by Jasprit Bumrah will have to bowl well to stop English batters.

&nbsp;It was a disastrous start for England on Day 3 of the Headingley Test on Sunday (June 22) as set batter Ollie Pope was dismissed after adding only six runs to his overnight tally by Prasidh Krishna. Batting in the first session of Day 3, England got off to the worst possible start as they lost Pope on the 13th ball of the day. The wicket opened doors for India as England still trailed by a massive 246 runs at the fall of the fourth wicket.&nbsp;

<h2>Krishna strikes an early blow to England</h2>Having scored his ninth Test hundred on Saturday evening, things were looking positive for Pope, who was under the line of fire before the start of the series. However, it was not a pleasant Sunday for him after a delivery that was going outside the off stump was nicked by Pope, handing an easy catch to Rishabh Pant. This reduced England to 225/4 with skipper Ben Stokes then coming to the centre while Harry Brook was still batting.&nbsp;&nbsp;Earlier, the home side made a poor start after Zak Crawley was dismissed in the first over of the innings. However, Duckett and Pope laid the foundation of a comeback for the home side as they stitched a stand of 122 runs for the second wicket. Duckett was dismissed for 62 by Jasprit Bumrah while Pope completed his ninth Test ton, remaining unbeaten on 100 at Stumps. England had ended Day 2 at 209/3 with all three wickets bagged by Jasprit Bumrah who showcased his class. &nbsp;&nbsp;India were bowled out for 471 runs on Day 2, adding a mere 112 runs to their tally in the opening session. In a rare occasion, three Indian batters scored tons including Shubman Gill (147), Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) and Rishabh Pant (134) in the same innings. However, with little contribution from the tale, India failed to cross the 500-run mark.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has slammed the bowling department after they failed to provide sufficient support to Jasprit Bumrah on Day 2 of the Headingley Test. After a good batting display, Indian bowlers had a tough outing on Day 2 except Bumrah. According to Shastri, Bumrah lacked support when it was required the most, which led to him criticsing the bowling unit.&nbsp;<h2>Shastri concerned over lack of support for Bumrah</h2>"There's a big difference in levels. The concern is Bumrah and what his workload will be as the series progresses, because he is the one man who is expected to pick wickets every spell he bowls," Shastri said. "I just hope someone at the other end puts their hands up."&nbsp;Bumrah was the key asset for India on Day 2 as he scalped all three wickets of England including Zak Crawley in the first over.

The Day 2 of the Headingley Test saw England mount a fightback after the hosts reduced India to 471 in their first innings before ending the day at 209/3. As the game hangs in balance, it will be a crucial Day 3 for both India while England rely on key batters like Ollie Pope and Harry Brook. Still trailing by 262 runs, England will be aware of the threat of an Indian bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah who was praised by Ben Duckett for his lethal approach in a post-day presser on Saturday.&nbsp;<h2>Duckett hails Bumrah&nbsp;</h2>"He is the best bowler in the world," Duckett said. "He's extremely hard to face. He's good in any conditions; he's good in India on the flattest pitches ever and when he's coming in down the hill (at Headingley) with the lights on and it's swinging both ways.&nbsp;"I feel like we minimised the damage early on.

IND vs ENG, 1st Test: Ben Duckett heaps praise on Jasprit Bumrah, says 'he is the best bowler in the world'

Indian trio of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill have scripted history as they relived a rare Test moment for India on Saturday (June 21) while playing in the opening Test match of the five-match series. While Gill and Jaiswal had completed their respective centuries on Day 1 of the Headingley Test, Pant joined the duo to complete his ton. In doing so they replicated the 2002 heroics when Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly all scored a hundred in the same innings at the same venue.&nbsp;<h2>Pant smashes hundred</h2>Playing in the opening session of Day 2, Pant did not hold back and took attack against England bowlers. He scored his ton in the 99th over of the Indian innings, becoming the third Indian to score a hundred in the same innings. Pant would later go on to score 134 before he was dismissed by Joshua Tongue while Gill was scalped by Shoaib Bashir on 147.<h2>What happened at Headingley in 2002?</h2>Playing in the third Test match of the series in 2002, it was then India captain Sourav Ganguly who won the toss and elected to bat first. The decision proved wise as the Indian team were in fluent form with the bat in Leeds.

Indian trio of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill have scripted history as they relived a rare Test moment for India on Saturday (June 21) while playing in the opening Test match of the five-match series. While Gill and Jaiswal had completed their respective centuries on Day 1 of the Headingley Test, Pant joined the duo to complete his ton. In doing so they replicated the 2002 heroics when Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly all scored a hundred in the same innings at the same venue. Pant smashes hundred Playing in the opening session of Day 2, Pant did not hold back and took attack against England bowlers. He scored his ton in the 99th over of the Indian innings, becoming the third Indian to score a hundred in the same innings. Pant would later go on to score 134 before he was dismissed by Joshua Tongue while Gill was scalped by Shoaib Bashir on 147. What happened at Headingley in 2002? Playing in the third Test match of the series in 2002, it was then India captain Sourav Ganguly who won the toss and elected to bat first. The decision proved wise as the Indian team were in fluent form with the bat in Leeds. After Virender Sehwag (8) in the first hour of the opening session of Day 1, there was no looking back for the visitors.

IND vs ENG, 1st Test: Jaiswal-Gill-Pant replicate Headingley 2002 heroics with rare feat

India got off to a brilliant start to their England tour after Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored tons on Day 1 of the Headingley Test on Friday (June 20). The duo’s contribution steered India to 359/3 at Stumps on Day 1. While Gill is in the headlines for all the right reasons, he could now find himself on the receiving end of a fine from the International Cricket Council (ICC).&nbsp;<h2>Gill to get fined by ICC?</h2>Batting on Friday, Gill amassed an unbeaten 127 at Headingley as made a bright start to his captaincy stint for India. During that innings, he was seen wearing black socks, which is a prohibition of the ICC rules.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to clause 19.45 of the ICC's updated regulations (effective from May 2023), players in Test matches are only permitted to wear socks in “white, cream, or light grey”. While limited-overs cricket allows players to wear socks matching the base colour of their trousers, the rules in Tests are more stringent.&nbsp;The incident was not reported to match referee Richie Richardson at the time of writing by two on-field umpires. This means Gill is not yet on the ICC disciplinary panel’s radar and could escape fine if not reported.<h2>What fine could Gill face?</h2>If the breach is deemed a deliberate Level 1 offence, he could be fined between 10 and 20 percent of his match fee. However, if it is found that the breach was accidental — for example, if his regulation socks were unavailable or unfit for use — he is likely to avoid punishment.&nbsp;At the time of writing, India resumed Day 2 action of the Headingley Test and scored 380/3 in 92 overs. Gill was batting on 135 while Rishabh Pant was 77 as he too could join the list of centurions in the match for India.

<h2>Tendulkar hails Gill-Jaiswal&nbsp;</h2>“A solid foundation laid by @klrahul and @ybj_19 enabled India to have a good day. Congratulations to Yashasvi and @ShubmanGill for their brilliant centuries. @RishabhPant17’s contribution was equally important for the team. India’s batting today reminded me of the Headingley Test in 2002 when Rahul, @SGanguly99, and I scored hundreds in the first innings, and we went on to win the Test. Today, Yashasvi and Shubman have done their part. Who will be the third centurion this time?” Tendulkar wrote on his X handle.&nbsp;Playing at Headingley, England captain Ben Stokes surprised everyone by opting to bowl first. In the slightly overcast conditions, India took control of the innings from the start as KL Rahul (42) and Jaiswal put together 91 runs for the opening wicket before the former was scalped. Debutant Sai Sudharsan was then scalped for a duck, narrowing India to 99/2.&nbsp;However, then it was Gill and Jaiswal who took over as they stitched a stand of 122 runs for the third wicket. In doing so Jaiswal also became the first opener to score a ton in his debut Test match on away travels of Australia, England and the West Indies.&nbsp;In terms of history books, both Tendulkar and Ganguly scored in the 2002 Headingley Test as India won by an innings and 46 runs. The duo was joined by Rahul Dravid who also scored hundred in the same Test match.

India’s five-match Test series against England, starting on Thursday (June 20) at Headingley in Leeds, will be a special one for Rishabh Pant.
