Team India captain Shubman Gill literally let out a war cry to rally the pace duo of Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna on Day 5 of the first Test match at Headingley Cricket Ground on Tuesday.Chasing 371 runs in the fourth innings, England were 117 at the lunch break on the final day.England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley added 96 runs in 24 overs in the first session and, most importantly, didn’t lose a wicket while doing so.
India bowled well in the first hour, and there were plenty of deliveries that beat the bat of the English openers.During the match, the stump mic picked up an interesting remark from captain Shubman Gill.“Ek taraf se Mohammad hai, ek taraf se Krishna, dono tabahi macha rahe hain” (At one end, we have Mohammed and at the other, Krishna — and both of them are wreaking havoc), Shubman was heard saying on the stump mic after bowler Prasidh Krishna beat Ben Duckett’s outside edge.England need 254 more runs with all 10 wickets in hand, and they have 66 overs to try and go 1-0 up in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.Earlier, the Indian and England cricket teams observed a minute’s silence and wore black armbands on Day 5 of the ongoing Test match at Headingley, paying tribute to former Indian cricketer Dilip Doshi, who passed away on Monday.The tribute took place before the start of play, with players from both sides lining up in silence to honour the memory of the left-arm spinner.
