England's dominant victory at Headingley has put India's Test cricket dominance under scrutiny. Despite centuries from Gill, Rahul, and Pant, India's sole win in nine Tests contrasts sharply with the consistent success of England, Australia, and South Africa. Root's unbeaten innings secured England's record chase, exposing India's fielding lapses and tail-end collapses.

The first session of the India versus England Test saw a tense moment. Zak Crawley delayed Mohammed Siraj's over, disrupting India's plan. England's openers, Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, batted strongly. They forged an unbeaten 117-run partnership. Bumrah missed a catch. England reached lunch at 117/0, needing 254 more runs. The match hangs in the balance with all results possible.
