1st Test: England Secure Second-highest Successful Run Chase To Beat India By Five Wickets

By IANS News June 24, 2025 • 23:40 PM View: 403

Tendulkar Trophy: Bazball continues to redefine the boundaries of Test cricket, and at Headingley, it delivered one of its most stirring statements yet. England chased down a mammoth 371 on the final day to seal a remarkable five-wicket win over India, going 1-0 up in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Headingley here on Tuesday.

This was England’s second-highest successful run chase in Test history and the second-highest ever against India.

The chase was built on a rock-solid platform provided by openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, who added 188 for the first wicket. Duckett led the way with a sublime 149 off just 170 balls, mixing composure with calculated aggression.
