What was supposed to be a day of complete dominance, ultimately raised a lot of questions for India vs England in the first Test in Leeds on Saturday. After centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant looked like taking India to a 500-plus total, there was a spectacular collapse as India lost the last seven wickets for jus 41 runs. Then, England reached 209/3 at Stumps in reply to India's 471, but could have been lesser had some easy catches beeen taken. First, Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped Ben Duckett in the fifth over. The same England batter was dropped again in the seventh over by Ravindra Jadeja at backward point. Bumrah was thrice unlucky as Ollie Pope, who went on to slam a ton, was dropped by Jaiswal at third slip off his bowling.
Sunil Gavaskar wasn't a happy man. "I don't think there will be any medal given. T Dillip gives those after a match. This is what was really very, very disappointing. Yashasvi Jaiswal is a very good fielder but he hasn't been able to hold on to anything this time," Sunil Gavaskar, who was commentating, said at the close of play.
