India vs England, Day 1 at Lord’s was a classic Test cricket tussle! England won the toss and chose to bat, but India’s bowlers kept things tight from the start. Nitish Kumar Reddy struck First Two Wickets in his very first over, dismissing Ben Duckett & Zak Crawley.
Then Root & Pope started to build a strong partnership by playing the “TRADITIONAL CLASSIC CRICKET” and not the “BAZZBALL CRICKET”.
Shubman Gill and Md. Siraj were seen asking them to show the “BAZZBALL” as they were defending the Ball Traditionally.
Indian fielders were sharp, not letting England’s batters settle. Jasprit Bumrah’s return was a big boost, and Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with a crucial wicket right after tea, removing Ollie Pope.
Joe Root was the mainstay for England, unbeaten on 99 at stumps, guiding his team to 251/4. India’s disciplined bowling and sharp fielding kept England in check, setting up an exciting Day 2. Both teams will be happy with their efforts, and the match is perfectly poised!
🔥 What do you think—will India’s bowlers strike early tomorrow or will Root get his century?
