5th Test: Karun Nair's Unbeaten Half-century Takes India To 204/6 At Stumps
Tendulkar Trophy Test: On a tricky green pitch under overcast conditions, Karun Nair hit a fighting unbeaten 52 and took India to 204/6 in 64 overs at stumps on day one of the fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test against England at The Oval.
Two rain delays marred a major chunk of the day’s play, but Nair notching up his first half-century in Tests after 3149 days, laced with seven boundaries, would make India a happier side. What would really be heartening for Nair is his making the most of his chance of coming into the playing eleven after being included in place of Shardul Thakur.
But India would also be rueing that no other batter could make a significant score on a seam and swing-friendly pitch. For England, who opted to bowl first, Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue took two wickets each, while Chris Woakes had a scalp before leaving the field due to a left shoulder injury.
