IND vs ENG: World was prepared for Kohli show but Rishabh Pant came out of syllabus
India will begin the second day Test on 338 for 7 wickets, with Jadeja and Mohammed Shami on crease. The game will begin at 3 pm at Edgbaston.

India was in serious trouble when Rishabh Pant had walked in to bat against ruthless England bowlers. India was struggling at 54, rain had interrupted the match and Virat Kohli was out after no show.
But none of these aspects bothered the Indian Vice-Captain Rishabh Pant. Trying to make a partnership with Shreyas Iyer, Pant was quick to make 59 runs off just 32 balls. Moreover, 46 of these runs came through the leg side.
Even after Shreyas Iyer returned back to pavilion, Pant did not stop hitting England bowlers and he soon made a stable partnership with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Pant displayed a variety of shot and hit on mostly every side of the Edgbaston ground. Be it Yorkers or bouncers, England every try to get him out was a failure.
Rishabh Pant made his Test century in just 96 balls and also brought India back in the game. On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja also played some good cricket and made a brilliant partnership with Pant.
The vice-captain of India was eventually dismissed by England’s former skipper Joe Root. Pant made 144 out of just 111 runs and the cricketer did not only make sure to let India breath in the first day of IND vs ENG 5th Test match but also broke the backbone of England’s bowling attack.
After losing the first two sessions, India made a solid comeback in the game and took over the second and third session of the first day match. India will resume the game on second day from 338 runs for 7 wickets with Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami on crease.
However, not much batting depth is left for the Indian side but just like the second game at Lords, Indian bowlers like Shami and Bumrah can surely get England bowlers tired by douching the balls and taking singles on the second day.
