🏏India tour of England 2025: 1st Test: England vs India - Day 5🏏 - Page 8

Stokes to Rahul, FOUR, to deep backward point

19.1

Stokes to Rahul, FOUR, edgeddd and over gully! Stokes danging it full and wide of off stump. Too much width for KL to resist and sure the drive was on. KL went real hard knowing even if he edges it's going to fly over the cordon and it did

Lyle : "Bowlers need to try the wobble seam to get some movement off the pitch. I think England missed a trick here" There's definitely a sense that they've got too cute at the toss...

Vidhyasagar: "Gill must be thinking, it's good that he lost the toss. Pure batting conditions. Both read the pitches wrongly i reckon!"

Gautam: "I wouldn't have bet on that, but Rahul-Stokes seems to be shaping up as the first notable 1v1 of the series. Great entertainment! The first one that comes to mind during the previous series in England is Siraj v Root, looking forward to watch act 2 later on"

Zainulabeddin: "Hello Killer Miller. Are English bowlers not up-to-the-mark today or Indian batters playing astonishingly well today?" More the former than the latter at the moment, but there's time yet for that opinion to change! The outfield is lightning and they've put away the bad balls
