India must have to score 400 runs in first innings to stay in the game. Although India lost 4 wickets on day one but Rishabh Pant is retired hurt and if he is not available for batting in first innings then not much batting is left behind. Shoaib Bashir is not playing this test and England relying mostly on seamers in this test. So far seamers have done good job for England by picking wickets and not allowed India to score too many runs. Tomorrow is crucial day for India, they have to make sure they score too many runs on day 2.
Rishabh Pant got retired hurt, he was hitting a sweep shot to a pacer and that was the ball directed to his foot and there he got injured. He was not able to come out through the field and not even able to walk, hence the ambulance came onto the ground and took him to the pavilion. Last time in 2022, he got car crash and took a rest from cricket for a long time then he was not in his form. Moreover, later he made a comeback.
The India team was all out at 358 runs. It was an average score and India bowlers have to take wickets if they want to have a hold on this test match. Right now Jasprit Bumrah, Anshul Kamboj and Mohammed Siraj trying to get the first wicket but failed. It seems that England opening pair will make a 100 runs partnership, they already made 86-0.
