    India openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal's onslaught allowed India to exercise control on Day one of the final Test against England at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, on Thursday.

    At the end of the day's play, India were 135/1, trailing by 83 runs with Rohit and Shubman Gill unbeaten with scores of 52* and 26* respectively. England were bowled out for 218 in their first innings.

    Ravichandran Ashwin cleared off England's tail end after Kuldeep Yadav struck vital blows taking five wickets for 72 runs in the picturesque stadium. Rohit struck boundaries and put pressure on England bowlers in the company of Yashashvi Jaiswal. The two struck a 104-run partnership for the first wicket. Jaiswal raced to his half-century in 55 balls with a delightful boundary in the 21st over.

    With a slog sweep, Jasiwal once again picked up a boundary showing no signs of stopping. After conceding back-to-back boundaries, Shoaib Bashir struck on the next delivery, deceived the southpaw to get him stumped on a score of 57(58). On his way back to the pavilion, Jaiswal was greeted by a stare from the 20-year-old spinner.

    The end of the 104-run opening partnership brought Shubman Gill to the crease. The 24-year-old stitched a 31-run unbeaten stand to ensure India didn't lose any further wickets. England started the post-Lunch session at 100/2, with Crawley (1* in 71 balls, with nine fours and a six) unbeaten at the crease.

    Root and Crawley attacked pacer Jasprit Bumrah with some solid shots. Kuldeep Yadav landed India their breakthrough as he bowled Crawley for 79 (108 balls, with 11 fours and a six). England were 137/3.

    With the help of a four by Jonny Bairstow on a Ravindra Jadeja delivery, England reached the 150-run mark in 41 overs. Kuldeep continued to run through the English middle-order, removing Bairstow for 29. The batter's counterattacking knock had two fours and two sixes and he was caught by Dhruv Jurel. England were 175/4.

    Indian spinners were all over England, with Ravindra Jadeja trapping Root leg-before-wicket for 26 reducing the visitors to 175/5. Kuldeep got his five-wicket haul as he removed England skipper Ben Stokes for a duck.

    Ravichandran Ashwin, playing his 100th Test, joined the party as well, with wickets of Tom Hartley (6) and Mark Wood (0). England had two wickets in hand at Tea and were a few runs away from the 200-run mark.

    Kuldeep (5/72) was the pick of the bowlers for India. Ashwin (2/39) also backed the high-flying Chinaman spinner, while, Jadeja also took a wicket. England began well with an attacking half-century by opener Zak Crawley. His half-century partnership with Ben Duckett helped England.

    During the first ten overs, England were cautious with Crawley being the aggressor. Duckett struggled to get more boundaries and played a very unusual defensive game. England scored just 35 runs in their first ten overs.

    Duckett's sweep shot on a delivery by Ravichandran Ashwin took England to a 50-run mark in 14.2 overs. England reached the 100-run mark in 25.1 overs. As Pope and Crawley were cruising along, the former was dismissed by Kuldeep, with Dhruv Jurel pulling off a brilliant stumping. England were 100/2 in 25.3 overs at the end of the first session.

    Brief Scores: England: 218 (Zak Crawley 79, Jonny Bairstow 29, Kuldeep Yadav 5/72) vs India 135/1 (Rohit Sharma 52*, Yashasvi Jaiswal 57; Shoaib Bashir 1-64).

  • Explained: Was Zak Crawley Not Out In 2nd Innings Of Vizag Test? Fans Find Fault In Ball-Tracking Of DRS Technology | cricket news

    Zak Crawley played a fine innings of 72 runs which came of 132 balls on Day 4 of the ongoing 2nd Test at Visakhapatnam. His innings was cut short by Kuldeep Yadav but the dismissal has started a Twitter debate. Was Crawly out or not out?

    The wicket: all that happened

    Kuldeep Yadav bowled a ball to Crawley. Crawley tried to hit the ball off the back foot but missed, and the ball hit his leg. The umpire initially said it wasn’t out, but India asked for a review. The review showed that the ball would have hit the stumps, and Crawley was declared out. This was a crucial wicket just before lunch, as Crawley had been batting well for England, scoring 73 runs.

    Review…..successful! ,

    What’s the debate over the dismissal?

    The England camp was surprised to see the dismissal. Twitter also started to debate the wicket. It looked not out by naked eyes and umpire Marais Erasmus also judged it as same. But th as per the DRS, the ball tracker said that the impact was on the line. However, various screenshots by the fans suggest that the ball was already in line and spinning away from the leg stump before hitting the pads.

    The screenshots indicate that only 2.5 stumps were visible when the ball made contact with the batsman’s leg. According to standard rules, Hawk-Eye should not be giving a ‘hitting’ result on the stumps in such a scenario; at most, it should have been considered umpire’s call. India seems to have benefited from a fortunate turn of events with this decision.

    One fan, who kep a close eye on the game, tweeted: “That looked very off honestly. 3rd stump was almost visible when the ball hit the pads. Very hard to believe that impact was in line, not even in umpire’s call.”

    It will be interesting to see what are umpires’ thoughts are at the end of the match. England, looks like, may have been done in by a technological error. Not that India is worrying too much about it, at the moment. England, too, can do very little about it. Technology is never 100 percent but it makes decisions more accurate. However, it too errs at time and cricketers will have to live by this fact.

    India batsman Shubman Gill feels that the morning session on Day 4 will play a “key” role in deciding the outcome of the second Test against England. Gill defied his critics on Day 3 and played a mesmerizing knock of 104 to score his third Test ton and hand India firm control of the clash. With nine wickets in hand, England need 332 runs to go two up in the series.

    “I think it’s 70-30 at the moment. The morning session will be key. We’ve seen there is moisture in the morning and help for fast bowlers and spinners,” Gill said after the end of Day 3.

    During his time on the crease, the 24-year-old took the onus of scoring the majority of the runs while Patel played the anchor role, steering the flow of the game and rotating strike on every available opportunity.

    With simplicity in his approach, Shubman used his feet to get runs on the board and raised his bat for his third Test ton. He went on to talk about the initial scare he survived in Tom Hartley’s over in the beginning hours of the day. He got trapped in front of the stumps and didn’t expect that there was any bat involved. Gill decided to go for a DRS review and the replay showed there was an edge that came to his rescue.

    “Definitely very pleased but I left a bit out there, to be honest. The first one I didn’t feel it (inside edge onto the pad). Shreyas told me to take it in case it was the umpire’s call. I saw the point fielder go there and I thought it was a percentage shot. Should’ve just played the 5-6 overs till tea. Pretty decent wicket to bat on. Not an easy kind of wicket to hit on the rise. Have to apply yourself because the odd one is turning and the odd one is keeping low,” Gill added.

    He eventually lost his wicket to debutant Shoaib Bashir while attempting to play a reverse sweep shot. India posted a total of 255 and set a target of 399 runs for England to chase with two days left to play. (With ANI inputs)
