Help India dominates day 1 in Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill
After being asked to bat first under clear sky and bright sunlight, visitors made full use of situations. Started with a solid 91-run opening stand between KL Rahul And Centurion Jaiswal, Indian batsmen were never out of control. The main attraction of the innings came in the final season when captain Shubman Gill – who struggled in foreign trials – provoked the trend with a magnificent century.
From the end of half a century Rishabh PantIndia appeared firmly in the heading command in day 2. On the other hand, the England bowlers looked largely ineffective which appears to be a bailor of the batting surface. Despite grabbing two quick wickets before lunch, he used to score runs at a fast pace throughout the day. Was a bright place alone captain
Ben Stokes shines like England wants answers on flat pitch
The English side needs to find some clues with the ball, in which important Indian batting is still coming. In addition to the captain Ben stokesOther bowlers also need to move and provide more assistance if they draw their team back into the competition. Stokes, who took two leading wickets and led the hosts otherwise in the front outing.
The home side should intensify its fielding and employ strategic bowling plans, such as setting different speeds and attacking areas, pressurizing and inspiring mistakes from Indian batsmen.

On the first day of a big tour, put the bat by the opposition, this is what you want from your opener. The correct mix of caution and aggression. Well played Yashasvi Jaiswal #ENGVIND pic.twitter.com/mvqcothkp6

Rishabh, Pant and Red Ball are a match made in heaven. We remembered this Rishabh Pants.
Hope he will be his century tomorrow.
Well, played 50 at the end of the day.#ENGVIND #ENGVSIND #INDVSENG #Pant– Layerlegbye (ll.b) (@lonewolf_life_) June 20, 2025
New captains, new faces, the same old patience.
In India, walk out of day 1 with a run on board, speed in hand.Jaiswal’s nature, Gill’s command, Pant’s madness, a day that sets tone for this series. Gave a statement. #ENGVIND

Today a very terrible day from England. The wrong decision in the toss has deteriorated, and the bowling attack is one of the weakest I can remember! The Indian batsman played well, but it was hardly a competition! #ENGVIND

The correct start for the series for India. Jaiswal continued his dream test run, skipper Gill with a great knock and 50 patients for pants. Capital of batting -friendly conditions and will need to continue tomorrow #ENGVIND

What is the batting performance by the well -appointed Team India and the newly appointed skipper #Gill And #JaiswalThe century in Australia and now in England. He is definitely a star in making #ENGVIND

Pure dominance by Team India! ๐ฅ Gill and Jaiswal class tons, pants and solids with Rahul as usual. 359/3 on day 1. This is the type of Test cricket we like to see! ๐ Leeds – India ruling day in England, you better! #ENGVIND #Teamindia

360/3 on the early day of a distant test. We do not use this type of scorecard late by India, but it is refreshed. India has bowling compared to England to make something out of this humble pitch, so bat enough to give England a hard time with the bat#ENGVIND

In fact, what did people expect with this bowling attack? Never take 20 wickets. Hopefully, Atkinson and Archer are fit for the next game and if we are lucky then the wood is fit at some point. #ENGVIND
