India pacers Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur joined Roger Binny, Ghulam Ahmed and Kapil Dev as the only bowlers to take at least two wickets in fourth innings of a Test at Headingley in Leeds. Krishna and Thahkur, who took their twin wickets on day 5 (Jun 24), are only the third and fourth Indian pacers after Binny and Kapil to take at least a wicket in the fourth innings of a Test in Headingley. Kapil and Binny, both took the wickets in 1986 Test when India won the match and the series as well. In 2025, however, the chances of India winning are bleak at best with England cruising ahead at rapid pace.
As for his wickets, Krishna first dismissed England opener Zak Crawley for a personal score of 65 before dismissing first innings centurion Ollie Pope. England, after scoring 188 runs for the first wicket, lost two quick ones in space of 14 balls.
Earlier in the day, Duckett and Crawley added most runs for opening wicket by England openers in fourth innings at Headingley. Duckett also became the first England opener since Alastair Cook in 2010 to score a fourth innings hundred. This is also the first time an England opener has scored a Test hundred against India in England in fourth innings.
