IND vs ENG: Day 1 Review

England opted to field after winning the toss given the overcast conditions. The decision looked on point as James Anderson and Ollie Robinson started with a threatening opening spell. However, the Indian openers showed grit and played with caution. India went into lunch at 46 for no loss.

After successfully negotiating the new ball, Sharma started scoring freely while Rahul continued in an unusually sedate manner. The duo’s 100 run partnership ended a 69-year-old record for the opening stand by India at Lord’s.

In the absence of Broad, Anderson looked like a one-man bowling army. He took two quick wickets of Sharma and Chesteshwar Pujara before tea. After their departure, Rahul stepped on the gas. Filled with graceful cover drives, he played one of his best knocks yet and brought about his fifth Test ton.
