India Tae Slim Lead as England Post 465 in 1st Innings
Day 3 of the first Test between India and England at Headingley delivered high drama as England were bowled out for 465, narrowly falling short of India’s first innings total of 471. The standout moment was Harry Brook’s brilliant 99, just one run shy of a deserved century, before he edged one to slip.
Jasprit Bumrah once again proved why he’s among the world’s best pacers, claiming a spectacular five-wicket haul, including vital lower-order dismissals that helped India gain a 6-run first-innings lead.
India’s 2nd Innings: Early Blow, But Rahul and Sudharsan Build Steady Stand
Chasing a strong position, India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal early (4) to Brydon Carse. However, KL Rahul held the fort with a calm and composed inning, while debutant Sai Sudharsan played positively, taking India to 70/1 by the end of the day.
With conditions slightly favoring the bat, India look set to push for a substantial lead going into Day 4.
