IND vs ENG Highlights, India vs England Test Series: Shubman Gill makes it a day he will never forget. His first match as Indian Test captain, but in to bat at Headingley, and he has batted with all the class and assuredity of a player born for this responsibility. A fine, fluent century, the second for India on day one, and one that will go down in the history books. He helps India to 359-3 at stumps on day one, with Yashasvi Jaiswal's fine century being the other major moment. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant chipped in, and a really big score on the cards for the team now....Read More
India Playing XI:
KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (Captain), Rishabh Pant (Wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.
The clouds have cleared, the sun is out, and Headingley stands ready to kick off what promises to be a feisty five-Test series between England and a new-look Indian side. India arrive without two of their biggest modern icons in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who both retired from the format last month. For the first time in a decade, India’s XI will not feature either name. That alone makes this series significant. But what raises the intrigue further is the appointment of 25-year-old Shubman Gill as captain, a bold call by the new regime led by Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar.
England Playing XI
Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Ben Stokes (Captain), Harry Brook, Jamie Smith (Wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir.
Gill’s Test numbers, 1893 runs in 32 matches at 35.06, don’t scream authority yet. But leadership is about more than stats, and India will hope that Gill’s experience from his Gujarat Titans captaincy stint over the past two years translates into steel in England’s challenging conditions. It won't be the first time Gill will captain the senior team, though; he previously led the T20I team during its tour of Zimbabwe last year.
The first Test is being played on a dry Headingley pitch. While not your usual English green-top, it’s still a surface that will aid movement, especially in the first session. That could work to India’s advantage, particularly with the firepower of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj up front. Bumrah, however, is expected to feature in only three of the five Tests, his workload being managed carefully.
England, for their part, have gone with a predictable XI. Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett at the top, followed by Ollie Pope, Joe Root and Harry Brook. Jamie Smith keeps the gloves, while captain Ben Stokes slots in at six. The bowling attack comprises Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, and Shoaib Bashir, competent, but not the sort of line-up that will strike fear like Anderson and Broad once did.
India’s XI remains unconfirmed, though strong indications suggest Karun Nair is set for a return, potentially at No.3. Rishabh Pant confirmed a day before the Test that he will bat at four, while the wicketkeeper-batter will continue at five. The No.6 position is up for grabs; will India back debutant Sai Sudharsan, or opt for an extra all-rounder like Nitish Reddy or Shardul Thakur?
Then there’s the spin conundrum. Ravindra Jadeja’s batting utility makes him a tempting pick, but Kuldeep Yadav’s ability to turn the ball on any surface might give him the edge. Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep remain in contention for the third seamer’s spot, all three bringing different styles to the table.
Gautam Gambhir, known for his aggressive mindset and no-nonsense decisions, has a lot riding on this series. His first Test season as India's head coach didn't go according to plan, with India facing an unprecedented 0-3 whitewash at home against New Zealand before facing a 3-1 defeat to Australia Down Under. Before Gambhir, India had looked set to book a place in a third successive World Test Championship final, but the side eventually finished third on the points table. As India kick off a new cycle in the WTC – with a new captain at the helm, too – Gambhir will look for a much-improved performance.
The two captains will appear for the toss at 3 PM IST, with the play beginning thirty minutes later.
Below are a few pointers surrounding the India vs England 1st Test:
- Yashasvi Jaiswal starts strong with a couple of punches down the ground for boundaries.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: India 359-3 at STUMPS
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: And take a breath. What a day of cricket for India, who have really shown all their talent and quality to dominate the opening exchanges of this series. Pant walks back on 65*, Gill on 127*. They are going to have a great night's sleep, and then back at it tomorrow.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: 350 up as Pant steps down and lofts
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Pant beginning to do his thing. Yes, a couple of awkward positions as he does his falling over and attempted laps, but when he charges down and puts a full swing on it, the ball stays hit. Against Carse, over midwicket, and England running out of ideas.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Rishabh Pant reaches half-century… with a slog-sweep past mid-on off Woakes
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: How else but with something unorthodox like this? Pant goes down on one knee and tries to whack it over square leg, but he toe-ends it, and it somehow manages to squirm past mid-on and reach the fence.
That is also 3000 Test runs for this remarkable young batter, who is showing ominous signs to the English.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: 331-3 after 80 overs, second new ball taken
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: England will want to make something happen in this last phase of play before stumps, and that means Chris Woakes is back on with the second new ball. How do the Indian pair approach this?
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: CENTURY FOR CAPTAIN SHUBMAN GILL!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Mark this moment down, it could prove to be historic. Filling in big shoes as captain, and filling in bigger shoes still at number 4, Shubman Gill has risen up to the challenge. He has looked untouchable on his way to his sixth Test century. He gets it with an exclamation mark, smashing one through the covers. India past 300.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Gill onto 98*, Pant gets a move on…
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Pant finally beginning to attack Bashir, four in the last over and now a paddle sweep to pick up another boundary. Next ball, he dances down and wallops it over the bowler for six.
Focus onto Gill on 98*…
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: 275-3, drinks
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Pant trying a few more shots these last couple of overs, but nothing full-blooded and to much effect. A small break before the last hour of play.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Pant and Gill just ticking along
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Not the same pace in this session as the last couple. England have spread the field and are largely trying to goad the batters into a loose stroke. But they are keeping it safe for the time being.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Gill frees his arms against Bashir
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Gill has seen Pant be a. tad quiet, and decides to take the attack himself with the ball spinning in. Nice, free swing of the arms to clear midwicket and pick up 4.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Pant holding back against Bashir for the moment
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Bashir kept on against Pant to try and force an error, but the batter being very circumspect. Bashir keeping it nice and tight around his off stump, egging him on. Couple of nice little battles with England knowing they have to get Pant early.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Pant nearly outfoxed by a slow dipping yorker
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Stokes throwing his entire bag of tricks at Pant, and so far Pant not bothered, but he nearly had him there. Big dipping yorker, Pant just jams his bat down in time. Interesting little battle cooking here.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Pant announces himself with a four!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Don't expect Rishabh Pant to hold back! Second ball, steps down and tonks Stokes over his head for four. Typical.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: WICKET! Jaiswal bowled by Stokes, break does the trick
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: There's the wicket England wanted desperately! Stokes strikes in his first over after tea. From around the wicket, the ball isn't full enough to drive, but Jaiswal goes for it. Beaten on the edge, and his off-stump is knocked back.
Window for England now.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Back for last session of the day
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Hopefully Yashasvi Jaiswal is rested and recovered. Really important session ahead — India can very quickly take this away from England, or England could start a fight back.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Five penalty runs for India! Rare moment heading into TEA
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Been a handful of strange moments in this match already, and that's the latest. Jaiswal edges it but with soft hands. Joe Root can only palm it away, and he palms it right into the helmets behind Jamie Smith. Root is absolutely distraught, Stokes is bemused. Bad to worse for England, you can see those shoulders dropping as the teams head in for TEA.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: CENTURY FOR YASHASVI JAISWAL!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: He is in major pain as his forearm cramped up, but Jaiswal doesn't care. Three excellent boundaries through the off side against Carse, and then a gentle nudge, and he's away and celebrating mid-run. Look at how much this means to him! The fifth century of his career, and he is telling his teammates and all who watch: it's my turn now. Well played, Yashasvi.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Brief pause as Jaiswal receives treatment, but he's okay to go
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Jaiswal just receiving some care as he cramps up in his arms a touch, but thankfully he looks okay to go after a brief refreshment. His captain feeds him a banana to make sure he can keep going.
Just over 15 minutes from tea, India will want to knuckle down and focus now.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Century partnership for this pair
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: It hasn't taken long at all for this pair's stand to reach triple digits. Gill still going a speed, and Jaiswal willing to tee off against Bashir the spinner. 200 approaching, and India sitting strong.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Gill survives a jaffa!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: So very nearly for England! Carse gets one to pitch and angle in, and it takes the flap of Gill's pad. Bit too high to be LBW, but it's nearly gone on to hit the stumps. Flies just over the bails. Closest England have been in a while. It's 188-2.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Gill reaches rapid half-century
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Excellent from the Indian captain, counter-punch post-lunch after those two wickets and puts all the pressure right back on England. It's a trademark short-arm jab through a small gap at midwicket to reach the mark. Will give him plenty of confidence.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: First six! Jaiswal over point
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: England now going with a short ball plan against Jaiswal. He has been tentative agaisnt stuff into the body — but he gets room to free his arms, and doesn't need to be asked twice. Carves it over the point boundary.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Spin introduced, Jaiswal greets Bashir with boundary
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Shoaib Bashir finally on to provide a change of pace, and Jaiswal easily rocks onto the back foot and cuts him past point. He's really found his touch now, into the 70s.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: 12 off the over! Jaiswal making hay
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: England far too wide in these last few overs. Woakes gets punched through the same region for four thrice in one over, and Jaiswal is not a player you want to allow to get on such a roll in an afternoon session.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: 50 partnership also up in quick time
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: Gill has looked very fluent and positive as well. Clear mindset that all the Indian batters have approached this innings with. 145/2.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: FIFTY for Jaiswal
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series: There's Jaiswal's 50. He's let Shubman Gill do the run-scoring this session, but he will be happy to calmly build on what has been a great start on English soil.
