India’s Strong Start Undone
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul provided India with a sensational opening partnership. Their aggressive yet solid approach put England on the back foot initially.
The duo batted confidently against the new ball. They brought up a crucial 91-run stand for the first wicket.
KL Rahul, in particular, looked set for a half-century. He was dismissed for 42 runs, just shy of the milestone.

Debut Heartbreak for Sai Sudharsan
Following Rahul’s departure, debutant B. Sai Sudharsan walked to the crease. All eyes were on the young talent.
However, his stay at the wicket was brief. He faced just four deliveries before being dismissed without scoring. This marked a challenging start to his Test career.
England’s quick wickets, including Sudharsan’s 4-ball duck, have swung the momentum. India reached 91/2 after 25.4 overs at Lunch. Yashasvi Jaiswal remains unbeaten and is nearing his fifty.
