Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 1st Test: England Fall Short by 6 Runs as India Take First-Innings Lead
The 1st Test between India and England at Headingley continues to deliver edge-of-the-seat excitement. After both teams posted near-equal scores in their first innings—India 471, England 465. As of now India lead by 96 runs in their second innings.
India’s First Innings – 471 All Out
India posted an imposing total of 471 runs, thanks to three splendid centuries:
- Shubman Gill – 147 (227 balls, 19 fours, 1 six)
- Rishabh Pant – 134 (178 balls, 12 fours, 6 sixes)
- Yashasvi Jaiswal – 101 (159 balls, 16 fours, 1 sixes)
England’s best bowlers:
- Ben Stokes – 4/66
- Josh Tongue – 4/86
England Fight Back with 465 All Out
England responded strongly, finishing just 6 runs behind India. Their batting highlights included:
- Ollie Pope – 106 (137 balls, 14 fours)
- Harry Brook – 99(112balls, 11 fours, 2 sixes)
- Jamie Smith – 40 (52 balls)
- Duckett – 62 (94 balls)
India’s bowlers chipped away, with Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja playing key roles.
India’s bowling summary:
- Jasprit Bumrah – 5/83
- Prasidh – 3/128
- Mohammed Siraj – 2/122
With the pitch starting to show variable bounce and signs of wear, spin will likely play a major role over the next two days. India will aim to build a lead of 300+, while England will hope to restrict them below that to chase a manageable target.
All three outcomes—India win, England win, or a draw—are still possible.
