The new captain Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal struck centuries while India accumulated 359-3 after losing the draw and punished an sub-pardial bowling display on the first day of the first test in Headingley.

Gill (127 No. 175) played with a great composure when he became the fifth skipper of India to strike a century during his first test in charge, a group which also includes Virat Kohli, the man he replaced in n ° 4 in the programming of the striker after the recent retirement of the legend.

Jaiswal (101 off 158) won his fifth test hundred third against the Ben Stokes team alone – which he won after suffering from forearm cramps – having smoked two double tonnes when India beat 4-1 at home at the start of 2024.

The left -hander opener, who has now scored centuries during his test beginnings as well as his first games in Australia and England, was turned upside down by a beauty of stokes – the choice of sailors – after tea but Gill and Rishabh Pant (65 no 102) combined for an uninterrupted partnership of 138 from 198 deliveries.

Gill, whose tonne was his sixth in total, but first outside Asia, proved the cornerstone when he took the perfect start to his leadership, having been appointed successor to the Rohit Sharma, now retired.

Pant spent 3,000 tests and this is a Chris Rusty Woakes for six in the final, leaving the English skipper Stokes with a lot to think – including if he made the right call for draws.

Has England made mistakes by choosing to play?

The statistics said that Stokes was right to play with the Pitch Headingley traditionally not deteriorating, but the heat has made strong shot conditions and Jaiswal and Kl Rahul (48), initially, hung on the width and deliveries nicknamed while England was chasing the counters.

There was enough movement for the rhythm attack – which includes experienced stokes and woakes and the largest Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue – yet the openers of India Jaiswal and Rahul struck them until a short time before lunch with a 91 stand.

The pair mixed the aggressive intention with a cautious – Rahul striker, in particular, playing a certain number of attractive records by making you wonder why its average test is in the 1930s.

However, Rahul was then caught up in the reader, bordering Corse to slip while the bowling player put his first home window after 27 games abroad this winter, before Stokes made Sai Sudharsan debut to take the side of the legs for a four -ball duck beach later – the field establishments suggesting that it was a deliberate dish.

Corse could have removed Jaiswal LBW for 45 years after lunch, but exceeded, and the striker continued to complete a century of 96 balls in a cap in which he struck two quarters of hiking – the side of the counter where he marked 88% of his shopping – and also paused for a second time because of his arm cramps.

Jaiswal and New India Gill captain put 129 for the third window, the latter reaching fifty of 56 balls with a four-tongue prints, the same bowling player who had been surrounded for six above Jaiswal.

Stokes impresses a difficult day for England

Unsurprisingly, it was Stokes, playing his first game since the Zimbabwe test in May and just in second position since he tore his bowling in the hamstrings against New Zealand in December which broke the stand of Gill-Jaiswal, hunting the latter from the counter.

Stokes then approached to remove Rishabh Pant with a slower diabolical bullet and also beat the left -hander on his outside edge during a fascinating battle, with pants launching a punch early when he created the second ball he faced on Stokes’ head for four.

Pant has largely entered his shell after that – a wild shift off the Spinner of England Shoaib Bashir that Zak Crawley tried in vain to catch up and six who made India pass in

Bashir was a bright point for England during the day, offering control as well as the dip, the flight, the turn and the rebound, while he recorded figures from 0 to 66 to 21 Overs after seeing Jaiswal sculpt his first delivery behind the point for four.

The teams are playing for the new Anderson-Tendulkar trophy, named after the big games in the game James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar, who are the most prolific and the highest scorer in the history of test cricket respectively.

England entered the series as a favorite against an inexperienced tour team, but the first day in Leeds was a reminder, if we needed it, that India is filled with talents.
