Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 1st Test: England Fall Short by 6 Runs as India Take First-Innings Lead

Published on

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.
