IND vs ENG Cricket Score Highlights, 1st Test Match: Shubman Gill leads India past 350 with commanding century at Headingley

India’s dominance with the bat continued as they crossed the 350-run mark in the 83rd over, reaching 351 for 3 at a scoring rate of 4.22 runs per over. Shubman Gill remains unbeaten on 127 from 169 deliveries, striking 16 fours and a six, while Rishabh Pant is holding firm at 57 off 96 balls, with six boundaries and a six to his name.

England’s bowlers have struggled to make inroads during the second half of Day 1. Chris Woakes has bowled 18 overs for 81 runs without success, while Brydon Carse has figures of 15-4-70 and one wicket. The Indian pair continues to frustrate the hosts with their calm approach and sharp running between the wickets. With the new ball approaching, England will hope for a late turnaround before stumps.

Ben Stokes delivers a crucial breakthrough for England, knocking over Yashasvi Jaiswal with a beauty. The ball pitches on a length around off and straightens just enough to beat Jaiswal’s defence. The left-hander, who had just completed a magnificent century on debut in England, played around it and saw his stumps rattled. A dejected Jaiswal walks back to a standing ovation after scoring 101 off 159 balls, decorated with 16 boundaries and a six. Stokes roars in celebration — can this wicket tilt momentum England's way?

Yashasvi Jaiswal reached his half-century with a single off Josh Tongue, marking an impressive milestone in his debut Test innings on English soil. Calm and composed at the crease, Jaiswal’s fifty came off 93 balls and included eight boundaries — a promising start for the young opener in challenging conditions.

For nearly two hours, India looked firmly in control of the morning session. But in the span of a few deliveries, England have clawed their way back. Their persistence with the ball finally paid off, claiming two wickets late in the session to shift the momentum. Despite Yashasvi Jaiswal's assured unbeaten 42, the pressure now falls on him and new captain Shubman Gill to steady the innings post-lunch. England will head into the break feeling much better about their morning’s work.

The first wicket has fallen at Headingley as Brydon Carse struck to dismiss KL Rahul for 42. Bowling a probing line, Carse induced a feathered edge from Rahul, which was neatly taken by Joe Root in the slips. Rahul’s steady innings of 42 came off 78 balls and included eight boundaries, striking at 53.84.

India will now look to rebuild after a solid opening stand, with Sai Sudharsan expected to join Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease.

At the end of 14 overs, India have reached 44 for no loss, maintaining a steady start in testing conditions. KL Rahul has moved to 16 off 40 deliveries, striking three boundaries, while Yashasvi Jaiswal remains fluent with 27 from 44 balls, including six fours. Chris Woakes has bowled a tight spell with figures of 7-1-22-0, and Josh Tongue has begun his spell conceding 8 runs from his two overs. The Indian openers are navigating England’s disciplined attack with composure.

India made a steady start to their innings, reaching 23 for no loss at the end of six overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal looked confident at the crease, striking four boundaries on his way to 19 off 22 balls. KL Rahul, playing a more cautious role, remained on 4 from 14 deliveries with one boundary. Brydon Carse has bowled three overs, conceding 12 runs with one maiden, while Chris Woakes has given away 11 runs in his three overs. The openers have laid a calm foundation, navigating the new ball spell with patience and control.

Starts with a probing length ball that nips back in slightly. Jaiswal gets across and meets it solidly, defending straight back to the bowler. Right on the money from Woakes first up—testing line and length.

England have won the toss and chosen to bowl first in the third Test at Headingley.

“Headingley is a very good cricket wicket. Hopefully, we can make use of the early conditions and get something out of it,” said captain Ben Stokes. He added that the team is “excited and ready to go,” noting that several players had county cricket under their belts and had a solid three-day build-up.

Stokes confirmed there are no surprises in the playing XI, calling them the “usual suspects in the top seven.”

Shubman Gill is just 107 runs away from reaching the 2,000-run mark in Test cricket.

Rishabh Pant needs 52 more runs to complete 3,000 Test runs.

Joe Root requires 3 catches to go past Rahul Dravid and become the most successful Test fielder (non-wicketkeeper).

Jasprit Bumrah is just 2 wickets short of overtaking Wasim Akram as the most successful pacer in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia).
