India, looking to level the series after last week's five-wicket loss in the first Test at Headingley, led by 180 runs on first innings following a total of 587 built on captain Gill's superb 269. They had extended that advantage to 244 runs at the close, with India 64-1 in their 2nd innings.

England resumed on 77-3, with Joe Root and Brook -- the world's two top-ranked Test batsmen -- 18 not out and 30 not out respectively. Siraj double blow But it was not long before Root glanced fast bowler Siraj to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. And the very next ball, Stokes was undone by a superb rising delivery from Siraj that he edged behind, with England now 84-5. It was the first golden duck of all-rounder Stokes' 113-Test career. But the 24-year-old Smith 'survived' the hat-trick by straight-driving Siraj for four. It was the start of a blistering 80-ball hundred that included 14 fours and three sixes as Smith joined a select group of batsmen to have made 100 runs before lunch in a session of Test cricket. India had rested Bumrah, the world's number one ranked Test bowler, in order to protect the fast bowler's fitness in a series where he is expected to feature in just three out of five matches. But in his absence, Smith smashed 22 runs in a single over from paceman Prasidh Krishna, including a six and four fours. Smith, showing no obvious ill effects from the strain of keeping wicket for 151 overs in India's first innings, cover-drove recalled spinner Washington Sundar's first two balls for four. Consecutive fours off experienced left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja in the last over before lunch, a straight drive followed by a sweep, saw Smith complete an astounding century. Brook, 91 not out at the interval went to a hundred after giving his wicket away on 99 in the first Test. And when he later cut Jadeja for a single it was the fifth time in his nine Test hundreds that Brook had exceeded 150. But Deep eventually broke through with the new ball by bowling Brook with a fine delivery that darted back off the seam. Deep also removed Chris Woakes -- who has a Test century to his credit - for five on the Warwickshire all-rounder's home ground. He had previously reduced England to 13-2 on Thursday by dismissing Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope for ducks in consecutive deliveries. Smith smashed Deep for six over long-on to raise England's 400 but Siraj cleaned up the tail as Brydon Carse, Tongue and Shoaib Bashir failed to manage a run between them.

England white-ball captain Harry Brook has opened up on his suspension from the Indian Premier League (IPL). Currently, he is representing the national side in the ongoing Test series against India. Speaking on his IPL suspension, Brook revealed why he left the Delhi Capitals camp despite being purchased for a whopping amount of ₹6.25 crore in the 2025 mega auction. This led to his suspension from the IPL for the next two years. On opting out of the IPL, Brook stated: “It was an incredibly difficult decision. The IPL is an amazing tournament.

IND vs ENG 5th Test LIVE: When and where to watch India vs England last Test live streaming online mobile, TV

<p>Former England captain Joe Root has faced huge backlash for his form in the ongoing Test series against India as he continues to struggle with bat. Root, one of the legends of English cricket, has seen a slump of form during the India tour where he has featured more with the ball than the bat. In his defence, former England player Mark Butcher has stated that the “bowling workload” has taken its toll on the player which has seen him struggle during the series.</p>

<h2><strong>Butcher defends Root</strong></h2>

<p>“I’ve thought that that thinking, going back in time to when people were talking about Joe Root being the lone spinner for England in more seam-friendly conditions and said that that was nonsense. I still think that having him having to do so much work as a frontline spin bowler is not likely to yield the sort of results that you’d expect from him with the bat," Butcher was quoted as saying by Wisden.</p>

<p>So far in the series, the 33-year-old has scored 77 runs in six innings while he has bowled 89 overs during the same period. He is averaging 14 with the bat and 43 with the ball, which has clearly indicated a lack of confidence in the batter.

Former England captain Joe Root has faced huge backlash for his form in the ongoing Test series against India as he continues to struggle with bat. Root, one of the legends of English cricket, has seen a slump of form during the India tour where he has featured more with the ball than the bat. In his defence, former England player Mark Butcher has stated that the “bowling workload” has taken its toll on the player which has seen him struggle during the series. Butcher defends Root “I’ve thought that that thinking, going back in time to when people were talking about Joe Root being the lone spinner for England in more seam-friendly conditions and said that that was nonsense. I still think that having him having to do so much work as a frontline spin bowler is not likely to yield the sort of results that you’d expect from him with the bat," Butcher was quoted as saying by Wisden. So far in the series, the 33-year-old has scored 77 runs in six innings while he has bowled 89 overs during the same period. He is averaging 14 with the bat and 43 with the ball, which has clearly indicated a lack of confidence in the batter. If things continue to be on the downhill, Root could face competition for his place in the squad with just two more matches to go in the series.

IND vs ENG: Former England cricketer highlights 'bowling workload' as key factor in Joe Root's poor form

<p>Former England Test captain Joe Root lauded Indian superstars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, heaping praise on the duo's experience and hopes the visitors can keep them quiet in the series. Root feels Rohit and Kohli have a big role to play within the current Indian setup and pointed out how the two can score big, hence, England need to get rid of them as early as possible. So far, Rohit has managed just 90 runs in four innings, with a best of 39, whereas Kohli missed the first two games and is expected to feature in the remainder of the series.</p>

<p>While speaking to JioCinema and Sports18, Root stated, "You mentioned two of the greats of the modern era. Of course, there’s going to be focus. We know how good they are and they are also very senior within this current Indian batting lineup. So clearly they’ve got a big role to play within this Test team. You want to make sure that you try and get on top of them early. They’ve got the ability to get big scores and we’ve been on the wrong end of that a few times, so it would be nice to try and keep them as quiet as we can throughout the series."</p>

<p>Rohit-led India drew the five-match series with a 106-run win over England in the second Test in Visakhapatnam on Monday (Feb 5). Both sides have several days off before they lock horns for the third Test, in Rajkot, which gets underway on Feb 15. India's squad for the remainder of the series is expected to be out soon and there is a lot of hype around it, with the likely return of Kohli. Kohli missed the first two Tests due to personal reasons and there have been no updates regarding his availability for the final three games.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Root has blown hot and cold with the bat in the ongoing series. He has managed scores of 29, 2, 5 and 16 in four outings but accounted for five dismissals. He will look to go big in the third Test with the series tantalisingly poised at 1-1.</p>

<p><strong>IND vs ENG Test: </strong>In an unexpected turn of events, England’s spinner Shoaib Bashir was ruled out of the first Test match between India and England due to some visa issues. The uncapped cricketer had to return home after he was denied entry to India for the series over a visa issue.</p>

<p>The incident upset the England side as they were looking forward to starting their Test campaign on January 25 with Surrey-born Bashir. As per media reports, the 20-year-old had some visa issues due to his Pakistani heritage, though nothing of this sort has been confirmed by the Indian authorities involved.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Shoaib Bashir? England cricketer ruled out of first IND vs ENG Test in India over visa issue</strong></h2>

<p>Shoaib Bashir is a right-hand batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler from England. He is of Pakistani heritage and was born in 2003 in Surrey and plays cricket for Somerset County Cricket Club.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He made his first-class debut for Somerset against Essex in June 2023. He made his T20 Blast debut for Somerset against Hampshire also in June 2023.</p>

<p>His uncle was a wicket-keeper batsman for Guildford City Cricket Club, who encouraged Bashir to choose cricket as a career.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Before signing with Somerset in 2022, Bashir played club cricket for Guildford, age-group cricket with Surrey and Middlesex, and Minor Counties cricket for Berkshire. He spent the winter of 2022-2023 playing club cricket in Australia.</p>

<p>In terms of his international career, he played for the England Lions cricket team for the first time in October 2023. In his international debut against Afghanistan B, he took six wickets for 42 runs in 15 overs across both innings.</p>

<p>Bashir has shown exceptional skill as an off-spinner despite his height. He is 6ft 4in tall, which is considered relatively tall for an off-spinner.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Stokes undergoes surgery</strong></h2>

<p>The England all-rounder has been troubled by a consistent knee issue that has limited his actions in recent times. Stokes only played Test cricket after the 2022 T20 World Cup winning campaign, only to be recalled into the ODI setup for the World Cup in India. His persistent knee issue also kept him out of the opening few matches of the ODI World Cup, before returning with a couple of hundreds in the global tournament.</p>

<p>Stokes was spotted with crutches in his Instagram post with captions reading, “In and Out. Under the knife done. Rehab starts now.”</p>

<p>The 32-year-old has enjoyed a stellar start to his captaincy career having not lost a single Test series with the national side. Having been appointed as the skipper in June 2022, Stokes has led England to series wins against New Zealand, South Africa and Pakistan while also helping his side draw the Ashes 2-2 earlier this year.</p>

<p>His presence has been a big factor in England’s revival in the Test format as they challenge for a spot in the WTC final which will be held in 2025.</p>
