England v India: first men’s cricket Test, day one – live
@Source: theguardian.com
51st over: India 215-2 (Jaiswal 100, Gill 58) Ben Stokes brings himself on just before tea. He knows England have been here before – New Zealand were 405/4 at Trent Bridge in 2022 and lost – but he’ll also know they have been loose with the ball. When it rains, it pours. Jaiswal feels for a good delivery and edges it on the bounce to slip, where the diving Brook seems to make a good partial stop… only for the ball to roll into the helmet sitting behind Jamie Smith. That means five bonus runs to India. The batters ran a single but they hadn’t crossed before it hit the helmet. A good over from Stokes ends with another soft-handed edge well short of second slip. That’s tea. “Forget Nasser at Brisbane,” says Richard O’Hagan. “This is Ponting at Edgbaston territory, having a bowl on a flat track when your best quick is out injured.” Ollie Robinson’s injured?
