    1st Test: Hartley’s Seven-wicket Haul, Pope’s 196 Gives England A Famous 28-run Win Over India (ld)

    By IANS News January 28, 2024 • 18:20 PM View: 730
    Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Debutant left-arm spinner Tom Hartley set aside a poor performance in the first innings to pick a sensational 7-62 as England clinched an improbable and famous 28-run win over India in the Test series opener at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday.

    Ollie Pope’s magnificent 196 helped England, who had conceded 190 runs lead, make 420 in their second innings, setting India a target of 231. But Hartley had other plans, running through the Indian batting order to take his maiden seven-wicket haul in Test cricket to bowl out the hosts for 202, hours after West Indies pacer Shamar Joseph himself took a seven-fer to stop Australia from winning at Brisbane.

    The win gives England a 1-0 lead in the five-game series. This win is also a testament to the visitors’ Bazball approach proving successful in Indian conditions. It is unarguably one of England’s greatest Test wins in the overseas circuit.
