With the help of Ben Duckett's excellent 149 runs, England beat India by 5 wickets in the first Test on Tuesday. The final session of the fifth day of the Test at Headingley saw England achieve this historic and dramatic victory.
Having a target of 371 runs for victory, England scored 373 runs for 5 wickets.
With this victory, England has taken a 1-0 lead in the 5-Test series. England started the day's match with 21 runs for no loss. Duckett laid the foundation for the victory by sharing a partnership of 188 runs with Jack Crowley, who scored 65 runs for the first wicket.
Jamie Smith scored 44 not out. He scored the winning run by hitting a six. Joe Root remained not out on 53 runs. How was this test itself? The three features prepared by AFP are:
Five centuries but defeat
In the entire history of cricket, there have been more than 60,000 first-class matches. India became the first such team, which scored 5 centuries in a single match, but became the losing team. India scored runs well at the start in both their innings, but their lower order could not get going. India lost 7 wickets for 41 runs in the first innings and 6 wickets for 31 runs in the second.
English pacer Josh Tong played a key role in dismissing India's tail-enders. Most of the lower order Indian batsmen fell prey to him. Later, Tong said, “I enjoy bowling against lower order batsmen. In this position, the chances of wickets are high. The biggest bowler should be aggressive.'
Rishabh's miracle
Rishabh Pant's performance is nothing short of miraculous. Now he has an opportunity to be a better wicketkeeper/batter than Australia's Adam Gilchrist. This time he scored a century in both India's innings. At first 134 were made, then 118. In this process, he became the first wicketkeeper after Andy Flower of Zimbabwe to score centuries in both innings. Most of his shots were not even conventional.
Even more remarkable is the fact that he achieved his current feat in 2022, when he was told after a terrible accident that this player would never play again. He was away from active cricket for 15 months. Whatever happens to the
, it happens in the heading
is the specialty of headings. As many tests as there are, most of them are unique. There are many miraculous tests to be seen here. In 1981, England were trailed against Australia, but the same team emerged victorious. The reason was, Ian Botham's 149 not out. And fast bowler Ball Wills performance of 8 wickets for 43 runs. It is still called 'Headingley Magic'.
In 2019, the current English captain Ben Stokes played a similar innings. With the help of his not out hundred innings, England got a sensational one-wicket victory over Australia. Many such games have taken place at this ground. England's current victory has been equally unprecedented in itself. So it can be said, whatever happens happens in the heading.
