IND vs ENG 1st Test, Day 5: Rain interrupted play during the second session of the final day of the first Test between India and England at Headingley on Tuesday. At the time of the stoppage, England had reached 181 for no loss in 40.5 overs. Ben Duckett led the charge with a brilliant century while his partner Zak Crawley supported him with a steady half-century. The opening pair put India under pressure on what was shaping up to be a dramatic final day.
India’s pace quartet of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur failed to break through on a pitch that offered little help. The overcast conditions and floodlights gave hope to the bowlers, but England’s batters remained firm and confident.
