IND 359/3 in 85 Overs (Stumps) | India vs England Highlights of 1st Test 2025 Day 1: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill's Centuries Help Visitors Dominate Opening Day

That's It! End of Day 1. Conditions were favourable for batting more than expected and an inexperienced England bowling attack without Gus Atkinson looked pedestrian. They didn't get the areas right at the right time and Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill utilised it well scoring centuries. The later one is still unbeaten with Rishabh Pant at the other end and the duo will look towards a bigger total on Day 2. The Day 1 had England toiling hard and India on the top. 

Fifty! Despite the poor run of form of Rishabh Pant in the IPL, he has come back strong in Test cricket as he had a solid start with a half-century. He has looked like his natural where he has taken on the bowlers and scored boundaries whenever he has wanted to. Now he completes his half-century and doesn't look like stopping soon. 

Century! The new era has well and truly begun for India. It is Shubman Gill now who stamps his authority as a captain leading from the front with the bat. Batted with superb control and then cruised through to reach his century in style. He has look calm and focused throughout. The hunger has been visible. He will look to go big here. 

After the dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant has consolidated the innings along with Shubman Gill. The duo has looked untroubled through the entirety and the conditions have been favourable for batting too. They are putting the England bowlers to some hard work here. 

Out! Finaly a breakthrough for England and the captain brings it just after the Tea break. Ben Stokes brings out his effort ball and it straightens off the deck, knocking over Yashasvi Jaiswal's stumps. The set batter departs and it is an important breakthrough for England. They need more here to have India under pressure.  Jaiswal b Stokes 101(159).

A bizarre moment for England as India get awarded five penalty runs. It was supposed to be a wicket chance as Ben Stokes made Yashasvi Jaiswal nick one to the slip cordon but the ball fell short and Harry Brook palmed it off to the helmet kept behind the wicketkeeper. As a result the Umpire awarded five runs to the visitors. With it, the Tea break is called and India dominate the second session without losing any wickets. 

Century! First one in England. Yashasvi Jaiswal has arrived in England! Classy and confident! The new era for India well and truly begins with this special century from Yashasvi Jaiswal. Looked confident from the very start and despite one or two occasions have looked comfortable throughout. Dominantly gets to his century even after a cramp on his right hand and celebrates with joy. First of potentially many in England. 

Oops! Looks like Jaiswal is struggling with his hands. He called the physio earlier and got an ice-pack on the right arm while the physio massaged the left. He took a break again in the next over and looks like will try his best to continue here. Definitely in discomfort. 

Shubman Gill has come on to bat and showed that he is there to lead from the front as a captain. Looked solid throughout, played some glorious shots and made sure that India go to a strong place. This is his first half-century overseas since that 91 in Brisbane, 2021. Gill look determined and will look to go as big as he can here. Shubman becomes ninth Indian to hit a 50+ score in maiden innings as Test captain and youngest of all nine to do so. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal starts his stint in England positively just like he did in Australia. Solid start from him to the innings. Looked comfortable throughout, played some glorious shots and never went too passive for comfort. He now reaches his half-century although he is surely aiming much higher than that.
