England vs India Test series News

Easwaran last played in June during a two-match Test series for India A against the England Lions. His omission from the fifth and final Test at The Oval has especially drawn attention. 15 Other Players have debuted despite Easwaran in the squad.

Gavaskar observed that Jaiswal's front-foot movement has not been as solid in recent games and noted that the left-hander appears to lack confidence at the crease. Jaiswal has accumulated 293 runs in nine innings so far in the ongoing Test series against England. Despite scoring a half-century in the fourth Test, Jaiswal hasn't looked in consistent form since his impressive 87-run knock during India’s first innings in the second Test.

By stumps on Day 1, India had posted 264 for 4, with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur both unbeaten on 19. Pant was taken to a nearby hospital for scans.

The top-order failed to deliver, with only KL Rahul and Karun Nair reaching double figures. On a positive note, he lauded the resilience shown by Ravindra Jadeja and the tailenders, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. England’s win at Lord’s has given them a 2-1 lead in the series.
