Akash Deep knocked over Zak Crawley but he had cut short his celebration as he was overstepped. However, the 27-year-old made a terrific comeback by removing England’s top three. He first got rid of Ben Duckett with a beautiful outswinger. The nip backer and a bold DRS review from captain Rohit Sharma got the better of England No 3 Ollie Pope. Crawley, who survived the earlier no-ball got cleaned up again.

India vs England Live Score: We’re back

The Indian team are back in the middle. Fielders are taking their positions. India would be looking for a breakthrough. On the other hand, England would want Joe Root and Ben Foakes to convert this into a big stand. Ravindra Jadeja so start the proceedings for India.

India vs England Live Score: After 61 overs ENG 198/5

As the session concludes, it’s evident that both teams have faced a tough battle. England has shown resilience and managed to accumulate runs steadily. Meanwhile, India has experimented with various strategies, but nothing has yielded results thus far. Rohit Sharma must devise a fresh tactic during the break to shift the momentum in India’s favor. Ideally, securing another wicket before the new ball becomes available would be advantageous for India. If the current partnership persists until the new ball, England might gain an upper hand, being well settled and poised to capitalize on the newer, easier-to-hit ball. At this juncture, the game is at a stalemate. The outcome of the evening session is poised to dictate the trajectory of the match.

India vs England Live Score: After 59 overs ENG 197/5

The pitch appears dormant at the moment, lacking any significant movement or excitement. It resembles the typical surfaces found in India, which tend to favor bowlers primarily when the ball is new. As the ball ages and the pitch slows down, extracting any advantage becomes challenging, rendering bowlers ineffective. Jadeja and Axar, known for their ability to generate extra pace, could potentially capitalize on such conditions. However, given that it’s Day one and the pitch hasn’t deteriorated yet, the ball is currently traveling in straight lines. Moreover, Root and Foakes, having faced these bowlers in the series before, are well accustomed to their strategies. Ultimately, it’s the pace and natural variation of the pitch that will play a significant role as the ball continues to age.

India vs England Live Score: After 56.2 overs ENG 187/5

Ben Foakes appears more comfortable on slower pitches like today’s. He has demonstrated improved proficiency in playing deliveries on the leg side with ease. In contrast, when facing quicker, bouncier deliveries, his bottom hand tended to dominate, resulting in lofted shots towards the leg side. Rohit Sharma has capitalized on this tendency by strategically placing fielders, including a catching mid-on and another close by when the ball reverses. However, on slower pitches like today’s, similar to Hyderabad, batters must generate the pace themselves, affording Foakes the luxury of adjusting the amount of energy or whip he applies with his bottom hand to the ball.

India vs England Live Score: After 53.3 overs ENG 184/5

The ongoing contest between the teams resembles a game of cat and mouse. Rohit Sharma has strategically placed fielders on the boundary, challenging the batters to take on high-risk shots if they wish to pursue attacking cricket. Additionally, he has ensured there are enough fielders close to the batters to prevent easy singles. Both Foakes and Root are toiling hard in their partnership, effectively halting the fall of wickets and providing the innings with a sense of purpose. However, they must maintain their focus and continue their diligent effort. Rohit may need to consider alternative tactics, as the current approach isn’t troubling the batsmen, who are content to play each ball on its own merit rather than worrying about the run rate.

India vs England Live Score: After 50 overs ENG 176/5

Joe Root reaches his half-century, displaying grit and determination throughout his innings. Eschewing fancy shots like reverse-sweeps, he has relied on proper cricketing strokes and fundamental techniques, attributes that have propelled him to over 12,000 career runs. England fans would have been eagerly anticipating an innings of this caliber from Root, especially on a challenging pitch, and he has once again delivered when it mattered most. It’s unfortunate that he only has Foakes as a recognized batting partner, as any of the top six batters could have contributed significantly, potentially propelling England to a total of 300-350 runs.

India vs England Live Score: After 46.4 overs ENG 170/5

There was a noticeable grunt as Kuldeep delivered the last ball of the over to Ben Foakes, registering a speed of 84 KPH on the speedometer. While this pace isn’t as high as that of Ashwin and Jadeja, Kuldeep is relying on giving the ball more rip, hoping for turn and bounce. As a captain, Rohit could consider placing another fielder near the bat when Kuldeep is putting in so much effort. This strategy could sow seeds of doubt in the batter’s mind, anticipating whether each delivery will turn sharply. Meanwhile, Akash has been given an extended spell, switching ends for added effectiveness.

India vs England Live Score: After 44.1 overs ENG 165/5

As we hit the water break during the noon session, it’s been England’s hour. They’ve showcased sensible batting, sticking to the basics, ticking the scoreboard over, and capitalizing on opportunities to score. India has utilized all their five bowlers in an attempt to break through. With the pitch appearing more favorable for batting now, it’s crucial for England to make the most of it, especially considering tomorrow’s conditions are likely to be similar. The real challenge will be the morning session, but Root’s solid performance notwithstanding, there’s still plenty of work ahead for him and the team.

India vs England Live Score: After 42.4 overs ENG 152/5

Kuldeep Yadav has taken over from Akash Deep. His first over seemed promising, and it will be intriguing to observe what he can extract from the pitch. Unlike venues like Vizag and Rajkot, known for their carry and bounce, this pitch tends to be slower. Consequently, Kuldeep must generate his own pace and exert additional effort to achieve bounce. Notably, Kuldeep has shown improvement in adapting to such slow-turning tracks, making him more effective in these conditions.

India vs England Live Score: After 39.4 overs ENG 149/5

This innings from England is reminiscent of past scenarios where Root shoulders the bulk of the batting responsibilities while his teammates struggle to provide support. Other than Crawley’s brief onslaught against Siraj in one over, the remaining batters haven’t displayed much aggression. Root, on the other hand, has been batting at his usual tempo, a rhythm that has often yielded success for him. The pitch appears to have eased up a bit compared to the morning session, offering better batting conditions. Both Foakes and Root now need to focus on building a solid partnership to stabilize England’s innings.

India vs England Live Score: After 37 overs ENG 139/5

Right on cue, Akash Deep has been introduced into the attack. It will be intriguing to observe if he can generate any reverse swing. With his pace and knack for consistently hitting a hard length, he could pose a challenge for the batsmen. Notably, his slingy action stands out, and it appears he flicks his wrist at the last moment, resulting in the ball skidding off the surface upon pitching. This characteristic provides batters with less time to adjust, reminiscent of the skills possessed by Shami and Wood, where the ball arrives quicker than anticipated.

India vs England Live Score: After 35.4 overs ENG 137/5

Akash Deep is back in captain Rohit Sharma . Jadeja and Ashwin have taken charge after the break, forming a potent bowling partnership. Some observers suggest Rohit Sharma could have utilized Akash for a quick burst post-break. However, Rohit seems confident in his spinners to deliver the breakthroughs. His decision-making has been impeccable this morning, from strategic bowling changes to effective DRS calls. It’s possible he may secure a wicket soon. Notably, the end from which Jadeja is bowling seems to be causing more trouble for the batsmen compared to Ashwin’s end.

India vs England Live Score:Joe Root and Ben Foakes in the second session

Watchful start by Joe Root and Ben Foakes in the second session. They have managed to negotiate the threat from R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Root and Foakes have put on 25 runs so far and England would want these two to bat as long as possible. India have yet to give the bowl to Kuldeep Yadav. It would be interesting to see how the England lower order will face with ball staying low.

This breakthrough serves as a significant momentum shift in favor of India, while also offering insights into the pitch’s behavior moving forward. Despite a minor hiccup with Akash Deep’s no-ball against Crawley, Rohit Sharma’s performance has been nothing short of spectacular, seemingly turning everything he touches into gold. With India dominating this session, it appears that England is in for yet another grueling Test match. Stay tuned after the lunch break for more live action updates.

 

Ashwin showcased his bowling intelligence with a clever strategy against Bairstow. After Bairstow confidently scored a boundary off a shorter delivery, Ashwin quickly adjusted his length, opting for a fuller delivery. Anticipating the change, Bairstow prepared for it, but Ashwin’s precision in line deceived him. The ball, pitching on middle and leg, continued with the angle, leaving Bairstow in a dilemma. In Bairstow’s mind, missing the ball might have seemed safe, assuming it would pitch outside leg, a belief likely shared by the umpire who initially didn’t give it out. However, Rohit’s astute decision to review proved fruitful once again for India.

As R Ashwin enters the bowling attack, Root and Bairstow seem settled at the crease. Bairstow, in particular, has been scoring briskly, showcasing fluent shot-making, maintaining a run-a-ball momentum. This partnership mirrors the threat they posed in the first Test in Hyderabad, where they aimed to seize control before faltering post-lunch. England’s management will be keen to ensure history doesn’t repeat itself, banking on this duo to capitalize on their strong start. Additionally, Root appears more at ease without Bumrah’s presence, further bolstering England’s confidence.

India vs England Live Score: After 17.4 overs ENG 75/3

Ravindra Jadeja has found his groove, displaying a smooth rhythm in his bowling. He’s managing to extract some turn, possibly due to the moisture retained from the morning session rather than significant pitch deterioration. The period post-lunch might offer the best batting conditions, making it crucial for these two batsmen to hold fort till then. India has primarily relied on one spinner thus far, leaving curiosity about the potential contributions of Kuldeep Yadav and R Ashwin on this surface. With indications pointing towards a day dominated by pace bowling, it sets the stage for an intriguing battle ahead.

India vs England Live Score: After 15 overs ENG 67/3

Bairstow appears to be in excellent form today, with his drives showcasing a newfound fluency compared to earlier matches in the series. Given that it’s day one, the pitch conditions are at their most favorable, offering Bairstow an optimal batting environment. However, he faces a challenge against Ravindra Jadeja, whom he has struggled against in the past. Notably, there’s been a change in the bowling attack as Akash has been replaced by Mohammed Siraj. Rohit’s decision to persist with pace is intriguing; perhaps Siraj will aim to replicate Bumrah’s tactics against these batsmen, adding another layer of strategy to the game.

Zack Crawley’s dismissal marks another success for Akash Deep, who has claimed his third wicket of the morning session on debut. It’s been an impressive start for the newcomer. The delivery once again displayed some movement back in, clipping the top of off-stump. Initially, there was a bit of nervousness surrounding a potential no-ball, but it was deemed legal. England finds themselves in a precarious situation once more after the first hour of play. Root and Bairstow now take the crease, desperately needing runs both for their individual form and to stabilize the team’s position.

India vs England Live Score: After 11 overs ENG 54/2

Ollie Pope took a bold step down the track to Akash, aiming to work the ball on the leg-side, but missed, resulting in the ball striking his pads. Although the on-field decision was not out, Rohit opted for a review, and to India’s delight, it revealed three reds, signaling Pope’s dismissal. It was a superb over for India, claiming two wickets. England, initially appearing to solidify their start, found themselves disrupted by Akash’s brilliance this morning. As Root takes to the middle, there’s a sense of relief for England after an LBW appeal against him was reviewed, only to confirm the impact was outside off, allowing the England number four to survive.

Pitching on the off-stump and moving slightly away, it induced an outside edge that carried to slip. Akash continues to impress, demonstrating his potential as a valuable bowling asset for India.

India vs England Live Score: After 8 overs ENG 39/0

The dismissal off a no-ball seems to have sparked Crawley’s momentum. He swiftly punished Siraj with three successive boundaries and a six, quickly advancing into his 30s. In contrast, Duckett is still struggling to get into double digits. Siraj’s performance has dipped after a promising start, releasing the pressure India had built on England. With the seam movement decreasing, it’s high time Rohit Sharma introduces a spinner from one end. Throughout the series, Rohit has tended to react rather than proactively make such decisions. It’s a strategic move that could potentially alter the course of the game.

India vs England Live Score: After 6 overs ENG 18/0

A stunning delivery from Akash Deep had England supporters holding their breath. Pitching in and sharply moving into the right-handed Crawley, it dismantled the off-stump. However, the joy was short-lived as the umpire’s call of a no-ball nullified the dismissal. It was a stroke of hard luck for the debutant and a fortunate escape for Crawley early in his innings. England’s openers have struggled to settle in thus far, with the challenging conditions clearly evident. The significant movement of the ball justifies the team management’s decision to opt for a second pacer over an additional spinner.

India vs England Live Score: After 3.4 overs ENG 8/0

While there isn’t much swing in the air, the pitch is providing ample seam movement. Additionally, the uneven bounce observed might improve as the day progresses. Surprisingly, England seems cautious, showing respect towards the pacers, a departure from their usual aggressive approach. However, they must strike a balance, avoiding excessive defensiveness. Siraj, in particular, capitalizes on the pitch’s assistance with his consistent deliveries on a good length. In the latest update, Akash Deep takes a wicket off a no-ball, adding to the drama of the match.

India vs England Live Score: After 1.4 overs ENG 1/0

In the opening over delivered by Mohammed Siraj, we’ve already witnessed some uneven bounce, a characteristic expected on this surface. Given the morning session, there’s likely some moisture in the pitch, which could mitigate the pitch’s subtle complexities. As the morning progresses, it’ll be interesting to observe how the pitch evolves. Akash Deep is set to take the new ball from the opposite end, offering an exciting prospect for Indian fans eager to witness his debut performance. Akash appears to be a bowler who delivers with pace and precision, making his entry into international cricket an eagerly anticipated event.

Describing the pitch as resembling a dry river bed with numerous cracks, there’s anticipation that the ball might grip and turn sharply from certain spots, possibly even from the outset of the match. Captains winning the toss are likely to elect to bat first, though the turn may be gradual and the bounce low. While some shots could prove challenging, both Deep Dasgupta and Graeme Swann suggest that this pitch shouldn’t be classified as a rank turner.

We will bat first. 2-1 down, a bit more important in the context of the series, but every game is important. The first one hour will give us an idea about how the pitch will play, but it was always going to be a bat-first track. My bowling is coming off well, it’s been a long time coming. I’m happy with the way we’ve operated throughout the series and looking forward to more of the same.

India vs England Live Score: Rohit Sharma at toss

We would have chosen to bat first too. Despite the dry appearance and presence of cracks on the pitch, that’s just the characteristic of this venue. We’ve had success in the last two games and plan to maintain our approach. I’m particularly proud of the young players in our squad; they’ve embraced responsibility and confronted challenges with confidence in their abilities. It’s a positive sign for our team moving forward. The only change is the debut of Akash Deep.
