The highlight of the first session was the breathtaking stroke play from Pant, who brought up his ton with a trademark one-handed six. Gill, calm and calculated, showed maturity beyond his years in anchoring the innings before being dismissed for 147. The two batters combined to push India beyond the 400-run mark with apparent ease, even striking a flurry of boundaries before lunch.

🔻 A Collapse Out of Nowhere

From 430/3, India suddenly found themselves wobbling as England struck four quick blows before lunch, removing both centurions and Karun Nair for a duck. The second session offered little respite as Josh Tongue and Brydon Carse ran through the lower order with aggression and accuracy. Tongue finished with 3 wickets, including the perfect yorker to clean up Prasidh Krishna, ending the innings at 471.

England’s bowlers bowled with renewed energy after the second new ball, exploiting movement off the pitch and the overcast skies. While Ravindra Jadeja briefly fought back with a few boundaries, he too fell attempting a cut shot, chopping on for 23.

☁️ Weather Joins the Contest

Just as the Indian fielders returned to defend their total, the skies opened up. The anticipated arrival of rain halted England’s innings before it even began, leaving the crowd and players disappointed after a day full of drama.
