Losing the toss, India was asked to bat first. Shubhman Gill and Pujara opened the batting. Gill was positive in his approach but Anderson scalped his wicket. Pujara and Vihari have shown solid defense but both were back to the pavilion in a very short time. Virat Kohli looked in good touch but he dragged the ball to his wickets. Shreyas Iyer has fallen to beauty take from the keeper Billings.
In no time, India has fallen to 98/5 and looked in deep trouble. That’s when Pant and Jadeja changed the course of the match. Jadeja looked cautious but Pant is the aggressor. He has taken the bowlers to the cleaners.
He hasn’t spared any bad balls. He took a liking for Leech. Pant has scored 146 in just 111 balls. While Ravindra Jadeja is not out batting at 83. At the end of day 1, India is batting at 338 and they look to extend it as far as they can.
