    1st Test: Rahul Takes India Forward As Lead Swells To 96 Runs After Bumrah Shines With Fifer

    By IANS News June 22, 2025 • 23:12 PM View: 820
    Tendulkar Trophy Test: KL Rahul oozed sheer elegance yet again in his cover drives to be unbeaten on 47 as India's lead swelled to 96 runs against England after reaching 90/2 in 23.5 overs at stumps on day three of first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Headingley on Sunday.

    India had initially got a slender six-run lead by bowling out England for 465, with fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah picking magnificent figures of 5-83 – his 14th five-wicket haul in Tests - in 24.4 overs. Bumrah, who picked his third five-wicket haul in England, has also equalled the legendary Kapil Dev for the most fifers picked by a bowler for India in away Tests (12), as his spell ensured the match will be decided through a second innings shootout.

    Rahul then got India’s second innings underway with great watchfulness before unleashing seven boundaries – four of which were via picture-perfect cover-drives to be unbeaten on 47. With skipper Shubman Gill unbeaten on six, India will be aiming to get more runs on day four after rain forced an early end to day three’s proceedings.
