India's strong start to the fourth Test against England was overshadowed by an injury to Rishabh Pant.
IND Vs ENG 4th Test: Rishabh Pant Injury Clouds Positive Start For India
IND Vs ENG 4th Test: The visitors finished day one 264-4 at Old Trafford after being put into bat first by Ben Stokes, who won the toss
The visitors finished day one 264-4 at Old Trafford after being put into bat first by Ben Stokes, who won the toss.
Despite a strong start with the ball from Chris Woakes (1-43), Yashasvi Jaiswal (58) and KL Rahul (46) made it through the morning session before the latter was caught by Zak Crawley in the slips shortly after lunch.
Jaiswal seemed to be finding his rhythm before Liam Dawson (1-45) marked his return to the Test side with a wicket after just seven balls, having been absent from the longest format for eight years.
Stokes (2-47) then won the battle between the captains after trapping Shubman Gill (12) lbw before tea. He also removed Sai Sudharsan (61) in the final session of the day.
Pant was going along well, scoring 37 from 48 balls, before suffering a foot injury which forced him to leave the field in a cart.
Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur, both unbeaten on 19, will start day two at the crease for India.
Data Debrief: Landmark day for India batters
Although India's top order might be disappointed not to build on their solid starts, the top three batters all reached respective achievements on day one.
Jaiswal has now scored 1,003 runs against England in Test matches. He has an average of 66.86 against the hosts, over 15 runs higher than his overall Test average.
Rahul became the fifth 온라인카지노 batter to score 1,000 in England, and also reached 400 runs in this series, while Sudharsan brought up his maiden half-century for his country in the longest format.
