We head into the tea break with England in a strong position, thanks to a composed stand between Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope. After Jasprit Bumrah’s early strike removed Zak Crawley, the English pair has kept the innings on track with calm, confident batting.
Duckett, in particular, has stood tall—his well-earned half-century giving the hosts some much-needed stability and belief.
On the other side, the Indian camp will have a lot to reflect on. The bowlers haven’t quite hit their mark, and the fielders have been patchy. If India want to wrest control back, they’ll need something special in the final session.
Live Score, 1st Test, Day 2: England (107/1 in 24 overs), trail by 364 runs to India (471) in Leeds. Ollie Pope (48*), Ben Duckett (53*).
