England’s bowlers faced a tough day as young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 76 from 70 balls, leading India to close at 119-1, 127 runs behind England. Making matters worse for England, they used up all their review appeals within the first 14 overs.
Meanwhile, Foakes, who replaced Jonny Bairstow as wicketkeeper, made a comical blunder during the game. In the third over, he crashed into the stumps while attempting to claim the ball, providing some light-hearted entertainment for his teammates.
Specsavers X account chimed in on the incident with a humorous comment. Despite the light-hearted moment, England is still facing a potentially big first-innings deficit, and Foakes’ performance will be crucial in India’s turning pitches.
