After India amassed 471 runs, they seemed to have a firm grip on the Headingley Test. England, after resuming play post-rain, lost Zak Crawley early. India appeared to be in control until Ravindra Jadeja, usually a reliable fielder, dropped a straightforward catch off Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling. This crucial error allowed Ben Duckett to continue his innings, shifting the momentum towards England. India’s overall fielding performance has been subpar, with Bumrah and Shubman Gill also committing misfields. At the time of writing, England had reached 97/1, with Duckett and Ollie Pope comfortably batting. India urgently needs to break this partnership to regain control of the match.
