IND vs ENG 1st Test: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant lead India boss Day 1 in Leeds

India bossed the opening day on their tour to England as Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant piled up some big runs to take the visitors to 359/3 at Leeds on Friday, June 20. 

Newly-appointed captain Gill walked back unbeaten on 127 with vice-captain Pant going unscathed on 65 with India taking control of the proceedings at Headingley. Earlier, Jasiwal had slammed a scintillating century too.

England had opted to bowl first, with precedent suggesting them to chase later.



All six previous matches at Headingley have been won by teams bowling first. However, the Indian batters batted with solidarity and mowed down the already depleted English bowling line-up, which was without Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood and Jofra Archer.

With hardly any swing and seam on offer, Chris Woakes and co. looked toothless. Ben Stokes was the most potent bowler with others struggling for control big time. The England skipper bagged two wickets while Brydon Carse got one in an otherwise off day for the bowlers.
