Ind VS Eng, Lord test: England ended the first day of the match at 251/4 in 83 Overs, with Joe Root Invainu on 99.
In one day that belonged to England, none of the teams seems to have dominated it. In a research ball battle, the two teams did their best to dominate the game, but that was not the case. Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley started the procedure for England, to lose a path in the middle, then be resurrected by Joe Root and Ben Stokes.
Insideport takes a look at the key moment of the first day of the Lord’s test.
Nitish Kumar Reddy puts visitors on top
Just when the first session of the day turned out to be a unilateral affair, Shubman Gill turned to the versatile Nitish Kumar Reddy. And not only did he hit his very first during the day, but he hit the English side twice twice. First of all, it was a dangerous Ben Duckett, who flirted with a delivery of the stump, to be taken by Rishabh Pant, the second window of Zak Crawley was an absolute fishing. The ball seemed to be entering, but walked away a bit to take the goalkeeper’s edge.
Rishabh Pant’s Nail-Crack Winries Team India
In all honesty, Rishabh Pant is the most important player for this team from India. And losing it could threaten visitors. During the 34th above the sleeves, Pant suffered an injury in his left hand, because he had to leave the ground. This meant that Dhruv Jurel has resumed the tricher’s relaxation tasks, but it remains to be seen, if pant can beat properly or not. Later, various reports suggested that he had broken his nail on the left index.
Joe Root marks 3k runs against India
The former skipper of England Joe Root produced a special benchmark in the Lord’s test. He scored 3000 points against Team India, only in his 33rd match against the country. He has an average of 59 years in these meetings, with 10,100 and 12 fifty in his name. Interestingly, it now has 103 scores of fifty plus, in tests.
Bogue attack and 99
Without a slight delay in the procedure, due to a bug / fly attack, Joe Root would have finished his ton on the first day himself. But this three to four -minute delay meant that another could not be tight, and Root was blocked overnight on 99. He also only became the 17th man in history, to end a day on the score.
