Jasprit Bumrah And Ravindra Jadeja Key As IND Eye 10-wickets On Final Day In Pics
India need 10 wickets on the final day to clinch a memorable win at Headingley, with Jasprit Bumrah set to play a pivotal role on a surface still offering movement. After setting England a target of 371, largely built on centuries from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant — the former showcasing textbook elegance with 137 and the latter blending obdurate defence with bursts of aggression for a second ton in the match — India seemed to be in full control. Their 195-run stand had nearly batted England out of the contest, but Pant’s dismissal off Bashir triggered a collapse, and the second new ball proved decisive as the visitors lost their last six wickets for just 31 runs, folding for 364. Josh Tongue’s fiery spell, which included three wickets in an over, brought England right back into the contest. In response, openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett saw off the final overs of Day 4 without alarm, taking England to 21/0.
