Indian team got off to a great start

Electing to bat after losing the toss, the Indian team got off to a great start. Openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul put on a strong partnership of 126 runs for the first wicket. This partnership broke after Rohit was dismissed in the 44th over. Rohit, popularly known as Hitman, was made his victim by veteran fast bowler James Anderson. Rohit could not cover the off-stump on a good length ball and got bowled. It looked like he would score a century but missed it. He scored 83 runs in 145 balls. He hit 11 fours and 1 six in his innings.

Then Cheteshwar Pujara was dismissed cheaply

India got the second blow in the form of Cheteshwar Pujara. Pujara once returned cheaply to the pavilion. He scored just 9 runs from 23 balls. He was dismissed by Anderson in the 50th over. Pujara played a wrong shot on a good length ball and was caught by Jonny Bairstow at third slip. He shared a 24-run partnership with KL Rahul for the second wicket. Pujara’s wicket fell on the total score of 150.

Virat Kohli played an innings of 42 runs

India’s third wicket fell in the form of captain Virat Kohli. After Pujara’s dismissal, Kohli batted for the bat, but could not score a half-century. He lost the wicket after scoring 42 runs. He faced 103 balls and hit 3 fours. Kohli was shown the way out in the 85th over by Ollie Robinson. The Indian captain could not detect the ball after falling on the pitch and was caught by Joe Root at first slip. He shared a 117-run partnership with Rahul for the third wicket. Kohli returned to the pavilion on a total score of 267.

Three in England and one change in Team India

England has made three changes in their playing XI. The hosts have named Haseeb Ahmed and Moeen Ali in place of Jack Crowley and Daniel Lawrence. At the same time, England have included Mark Wood in place of Stuart Broad. Let us inform that Broad has been ruled out of the Test series against India due to a calf injury. At the same time, India has made only one change. The visiting team has kept veteran fast bowler Ishant Sharma in the playing XI in place of injured Shardul. Ishant could not play the first Test due to being unfit.

The Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly in the first Test and showed their mettle on the Trent Bridge pitch. India bundled out England for 183 in the first innings and 303 in the second innings. Apart from Joe Root, no one could play a big innings for England. Root scored a half-century in the first innings and a century in the second. At the same time, India scored 278 runs in the first innings and took a lead of 95 runs. England set a target of 209 runs for India to win. Chasing the target, India had scored 52 runs for the loss of one wicket on the fourth day and needed 157 runs on the fifth day. But the rain came to a halt and the match could not result in any result.
