India vs England, 1st Test Day 2 Highlights: Bumrah’s No-Ball Gives England Reprieve As Pope Hits Century
Day 2 of the 1st Test between India and England at Leeds saw momentum swing both ways, with Ollie Pope anchoring England’s innings with a brilliant unbeaten century. England finished the day at 209/3, still trailing India by 262 runs, with Pope (100*) and Harry Brook (0*) at the crease heading into Day 3.
India had a chance to strike late in the day, but a costly no-ball from Jasprit Bumrah denied them a fourth wicket. Brook mistimed a shot and was caught, only for replays to show that Bumrah had overstepped. Despite that, Bumrah was India’s standout bowler, claiming all three wickets.
Earlier, India resumed their innings with high hopes but suffered a dramatic collapse after Lunch. Shubman Gill top-scored with a commanding 147 (227 balls, 19 fours, 1 six), but his dismissal triggered a batting slide. England’s bowlers, especially Ben Stokes and Josh Tongue, capitalized, sharing eight wickets between them.
Shoaib Bashir claimed the first wicket of the day by removing Gill, while Karun Nair’s return to the Test side ended in disappointment — dismissed for a four-ball duck by Stokes, caught by Pope.
As the Test heads into Day 3, England will look to build a solid first-innings total, while India aim to regain control with early breakthroughs.
