India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 2: The first Test between India and England (IND vs ENG) in Hyderabad lived up to its billing on Day 1, offering a rollercoaster of thrills and spills. While England posted a respectable 246 thanks to a late flourish from Ben Stokes, India openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal ripped through the bowling, leaving the visitors with plenty to ponder as they head into Day 2.
The 20-year-old Jaiswal stole the show with a swashbuckling 76 off 70 balls, channeling his inner “Bazball” spirit to dismantle England’s attack. He particularly feasted on debutant spinner Tom Hartley, who conceded a whopping 63 runs in just nine overs.
Jaiswal’s audacious approach, alongside Rohit Sharma’s 80 off 61 balls, left England reeling at the end of Day 1. India reached 119/1 at stumps, trailing by just 127 runs, with Shubman Gill (14*) providing solid support at the other end.
IND vs ENG 1st Test, Day 1: Recap
Despite Jaiswal’s heroics, England’s batting performance shouldn’t be entirely overshadowed. Openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley got things off to a solid start with a 55-run stand, while Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root chipped in with a crucial 61-run partnership.
It was Ben Stokes, however, who rescued England from a precarious position. His attacking 70 off 88 balls, featuring powerful boundaries and audacious strokeplay, helped the visitors reach a respectable total. Unfortunately for England, they burned through all three reviews within the first 14 overs, leaving them vulnerable heading into Day 2.
