India vs England Day 1 Live Updates: India in Command after losing 2 wickets for 176 Runs in Leeds

The India vs England Series Day 1 so far looks in command for Indian team as they lost the toss against England where they batted brilliantly so far where Gill and Rahul opened the batting for Men in Blue where they scored 80 runs for the opening wicket credit goes to Kl Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal where they stiched 40 runs each and played English bowlers like an absolute hero.

The first wicket came in form of Kl Rahul, who got out by nicking the ball outside the off stump, which he could have avoided considering his patience game which he showed in the middle.

The second wicket came in form of Sai Sudharshan who looked nervous in the middle due to amazing experience, knicked the ball going leg side against Stokes and got out.

Next comes in Shubhman Gill with his usual MRF Bat, coming at number 4 replacing Virat Kohli who recently retired from longest format of the game.

It took couple of balls for him to settle, once he got his eyes placed in the middle it wasn’t looking back for him till the time I am writing this, India have scored 159 runs at the loss of 2 wickets.

Meanwhile Yashasvi Jaiswal completed his 50 in the middle where he deserved praise for holding his mental tenacity and sticking to long hours and ultimately suceeding to score his 50 in the middle.

Overall the way English bowlers look pretty inexperienced barring Chris Woakes so India deserve credit for playing some outstanding cricket and scoring runs at will in those supportive English conditions.

Gill and Jaiswal need to bat little longer, so that India could come towards more comfortable space to express themselves.

Many people have criticised Ben Stokes, for choosing to bowl first but going by statistics, Team batting in last innings comfortably chase down the total.

Grab a seat in the hotspot and enjoy India’s excellence against England for five series where the first day to be held today

Till the Time of Writing India scored 164 runs at the loss of 2 wickets with Jaiswal batting at 72* runs from 115 balls and Glll scored 40* runs from 46 balls.

When you look at the squad for both teams, Both teams have played only one spinner which simply means fast bowlers would dominate this test match but the way day progresses Batting will be come easy so England certainly have an edge over others in this most anticipating contest.
