The first Test of the five-match series between the Shubman Gill-led India National Cricket Team and Ben Stokes-led England National Cricket Team was hosted by Headingley in Leeds from June 20 to 24.
KL Rahul (42) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) provided a solid start, and they were mostly untroubled by Chris Woakes, Josh Tongue, and Brydon Carse.
Rishabh Pant (134) became India's third centurion in the innings by playing an amazing knock, but the visitors suffered a shocking collapse and lost 7 wickets for just 41 runs to get bundled for 471. For the hosts, Ben Stokes and Josh Tongue bagged 4 wickets each.
Ollie Pope and Harry Brook were the top two performers with the bat as the former scored 106 runs and the latter scored a brisk 99. England got bundled for 456, giving India a small lead. For the visitors, Jasprit Bumrah was the hero in the innings as he bagged a sensational 5-wicket haul despite several dropped catches.

Just like the first innings, India's score could have been bigger had they not suffered a shocking collapse with the lower-order making no contribution. For England, Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue bagged three wickets each in the third innings of the match.
Ben Duckett played a knock for the ages as he smashed 149 runs off 170 balls. Even though two wickets each from Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur helped India make a mini comeback, the Three Lions managed to complete the run-chase easily with Joe Root (53*) and Jamie Smith (44*) remaining unbeaten in the middle. England won the match by 5 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the series.
