FEBRUARY 2, 2024, 13:47
- IND 196/3 in 55 overs

- A single each for Jaiswal and Patidar in the over from Bashir.
February 2, 2024, 13:38
- IND 193/3 in 53 overs
- Hartley to continue. His first delivery is straying down the leg, and Jaiswal gets a feather on it to send it down to the fence. Another step down from Jaiswal, but his slog takes a thick outside edge and just beats the third man by two runs.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024, 13:34
- IND 186/3 in 52 overs
- Bashir to Patidar. He clips it off his back foot to mid-wicket and picks a single. FOUR! Jaiswal hits inside out but keeps it down, piercing the gap between the mid-on and cover fielders. A single off the final ball makes it six from the over.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024, 13:29
- IND 180/3 in 51 overs
- FOUR! Iyer gets to the pitch of this full-length delivery from Hartley and raps it through mid-on. GONE! Iyer hands a nick to Foakes. It tries to cut a short and wide delivery, but the ball is kept low and takes an under edge.
- Shreyas Iyer c Foakes b Hartley 27(59)
- Rajat Patidar is the new man. Patidar gets off the mark with a glance at the a short fine leg.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024, 13:25
- IND 175/2 in 50 overs
- Bashir gives away just two singles in the next over. There was a bit of a mix-up between Iyer and Jaiswal on the final delivery. The latter drives to mid-off and starts jogging for a single while the former is ball-watching. He turns back just in time to avoid any trouble.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024, 13:22
- HUNDREDS FOR JAISWAL
FEBRUARY 2, 2024, 13:21
- IND 173/2 in 49 overs
- HUNDREDS FOR JAISWAL! He comes down the track and heaves Hartley over long-on. A century in 151 deliveries, the second one of his short career so far. Nine runs from the over.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024 13:17
- IND 164/2 in 48 overs
- Bashir again. Jaiswal drives the second delivery through cover for a single. Iyer plays out the remaining five deliveries in the over.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024 13:12
- IND 163/2
- Three more were added to the total. India has seen an increase in run rate in the last 20 minutes of the session. Overall, England controlled the scoring rate in the first hour of this session.
FEBRUARY 2, 2024, 13:08
- IND 160/2
- Jaiswal has upped the ante and is now into his 90s. He attacked Hartley for three consecutive boundaries and also hit four against Hartley as well.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024, 12:53
- IND 137/2
- Both Shreyas and Jaiswal are visibly looking to get a move on. Iyer has been shuffling (or dancing) inside the crease a lot to make room and disturb the rhythm of the bowlers. Jaiswal, too, is looking to open his arms. A six-over covers the root-over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 12:42
- IND 124/2
- Hartley has a change in ends. He replaces Anderson. Two runs off the over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 12:36
- IND 122/2
- And Root is back, replacing Hartley. Iyer welcomes him back with a pull toward the square leg for four. Five singles make it nine runs off the over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 12:30
- IND 112/2
- The England bowlers have been right on the money. Not giving away any loose deliveries. Indians are playing the waiting game.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 12:21
- IND 109/2
- Hartley replaces Root after just one over. Iyer and Jaiswal add three more singles to the score.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 12:15
- IND 106/2
- Anderson from the other end. England is going in with the short ball field for Iyer. Only a single in that over. There’s not much movement out there for Anderson.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 12:11
- IND 105/2
- Joe Root to begin the proceedings in the afternoon session. Two singles in the over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:34
- Lunch: India 103/2
- Yashasvi Jaiswal walks back a happy man with his unbeaten 51 off 92 deliveries. He gave a steady start to the innings before watching an overly cautious partner, Rohit Sharma, give away his wicket softly. Shubman Gill brought a bit of a move to the innings but James Anderson sent him back just on the stroke of the break. A pretty even session this one. India would be content with its 100-plus total from the 30-odd overs, while England would be delighted with two wickets that fell in the session. Shoaib Bashir marked his debut with the wicket of Rohit Sharma and continued in tandem with Tom Hartley to keep the run flow in check.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:31
- IND 103/2 in 31 overs
- FOUR! Shreyas Iyer plays out five dot balls in this Anderson over but bookends it with a dream on a drive past the mid-on fielder. That’s the end of the first session.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:25
- IND 99/2 in 30 overs
- SIX! Jaiswal absolutely latches on to this full toss from Bashir. The ball lands on the second tier over the long fence. FOUR! FIFTY FOR JAISWAL! Cuts a shorter length and a misfield at a deep point by Rehan Ahmed and gets him to the landmark.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:18
- IND 89/2 in 29 overs
- FOUR! Anderson once more induces an edge from Gill. This one is closer to the first slip fielder but still wide enough. WICKET! Anderson has the last laugh. Gill reaches out feeling at a delivery only to get and edge and leave caught behind. The partnership ends at 49 runs.
- Shubman Gill c Foakes b Anderson 34 (46)
- Shreyas Iyer joins the action. Blocks an inswinging delivery to see out the over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:14
- IND 85/1 in 28 overs.
- Gill growing in confidence. Slog sweeps Bashir’s good-length delivery behind square to pocket four runs. Now four more through the off side. 10 runs in the over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:134
- IND 75/1 in 27 overs
- FOUR! Gill pokes at a delivery outside off, it does not move much but takes a thick edge and runs away to the fence. Five runs from James Anderson’s return over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:05
- IND 70/1 in 26 overs
- Bashir again. Gill charges down and hits it along the ground for a single to mid wicket. Jaiswal drives to long off for the second run of the over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:02
- IND 68/1 in 25 overs
- Hartley to continue. A gentle push from Gill on the on side and Jaiswal pushes him for a single. Jaiswal steps out but the eventual pulling back of length from the bowler allows him only a punch to long on for one run. Gill punches the final delivery to deep cover for another single.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 11:00

- IND 59/1 in 22 overs
- Top Edge! Jasiwal goes for another sweep against Bashir but gets a leading edge. Luckily for him, it is well wide of the short fine leg fielder. Three singles from that over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 10:52
- IND 56/1 in 21 overs
- Just a single from Hartley’s over. Keeps it at a stump to stump length, prompting defence from the Indian duo.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 10:47
- IND 55/1 in 20 overs
- Jaiswal goes on his backfoot to punch Bashir to long off for a single. Another run from the over, this time for Gill.

- FEBRUARY 02, 2024 10:38
- IND 41/1 in 18 overs
- Hartley fires in a yorker to Jaiswal who just about manages to get his bat down in time. Shouts of leg before too but it looked to be going over.
- WICKET! Rohit Sharma is caught at leg slip off Shoaib Bashir. He tries to play with the spin and budge the ball down the leg but there is a fielder in place for that very shot. Rohit Sharma’s watchful stay in the middle comes to an end.
- Rohit Sharma c Pope b Shoaib Bashir 14 (41)
- Shubman Gill gets off the mark in the same over.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 10:29

FEBRUARY 02, 2024 10:10

- A sedate start for India. Anderson and Root not giving away easy runs. Rohit and Jaiswal too, are happy to defend and play the waiting game.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 09:54
- IND 15/0 in 6 overs
- After boundaries in the first two overs, the scoring rate has dropped down. Root and Anderson have been bowling tight lines.
FEBRUARY 02, 2024 09:35
- IND 9/0
- Joe Root from the other end. Wide, half tracker and Jaiswal smacks it for four on the first ball. Another drive gets Jaiswal another boundary of the over.

- Pitch Report
- Eoin Morgan: The wicket looks like a beauty to bat on. The top layer in black soil, below is red soil. There will be turn but not too much on Day 1. Certainly a win toss, bat first wicket. Both sides will play plenty of spinners but we expect the spinners to come into the contest later. The first two days certainly better for batting.
