5th Test: Rain Forces Early Lunch At The Oval After India Reach 72/2 Against England
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Sudden rain forced an early lunch to be taken on day one of the fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at The Oval. At the time of interruption, India were at 72/2 after 23 overs, where B Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill were unbeaten on 25 and 15 respectively.
Electing to bowl first on the grassiest pitch of the ongoing five-match series, England removed India openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, but Sudharsan has looked solid and weathered past challenges to be unbeaten on 25 off 67 balls.
Gill, meanwhile, has been positive in his 15 not out so far and went past Sunil Gavaskar’s 732 runs against the West Indies in 1978/79 to grab the new record for most runs by an Indian captain in a Test series. Once the heavy downpour goes off, both Sudharsan and Gill will be required to dig in again under tough batting conditions.
