England Complete 371-Run Chase to Beat India by Five Wickets at Headingley

Fielding lapses followed by batting collapses have put India’s team selection firmly under scrutiny ahead of the Edgbaston Test

Overview

  • India became the first side to lose a Test after posting five individual centuries, with tons from Jaiswal, Gill, Pant (two) and Rahul undone by later failures
  • Yashasvi Jaiswal’s four dropped catches and other fielding errors provided England’s batsmen with crucial reprieves
  • India’s lower order managed just nine runs across both innings, triggering collapses from 430/3 to 471 and from 333/4 to 364
  • England’s chase was anchored by Ben Duckett’s 149 and a 188-run opening stand with Zak Crawley, with Joe Root adding a composed fifty
  • Scrutiny has fallen on India’s selection and tactical approach as they regroup for the second Test at Edgbaston beginning July 2
