Prasidh Krishna Registers Unwanted Record On Day 3 Of 1st Test vs England
Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna made an unfortunate record during his spell of 3/128 against England during the first Test at Leeds, delivering the worst economy rate by an Indian bowler in a spell of at least 20 overs. During his 20 overs, Prasidh took crucial wickets for Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, and Jamie Smith, but he was often on the receiving end of brutal hitting from England batters. His economy rate of 6.40 is the worst among Indian bowlers who have bowled at least 120 balls or 20 overs in their spell. He has outdone Varun Aaron, who took 2/136 against Australia at Adelaide in 2014, going at an economy rate of 5.91. A very entertaining day of Test cricket, mostly dominated by England, came to an end with India taking a 96-run lead following the final session of the first Test at Leeds on Sunday At the end of the day's play, which was cut short due to rain, India ended with at 90/2, with KL Rahul (47*) and skipper Shubman Gill (6*) unbeaten. India kickstarted the final session at 0/0, having secured a six-run lead over England, who were bundled out for 465 runs in their first innings in reply to Team India's first innings total of 471 runs. The Asian giants were off to a poor start as Yashasvi Jaiswal could not follow up his first-innings ton with something special, falling for just four in 11 balls to Brydon Carse, edging it into the hands of wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith. India was 16/1 in 3.1 Rahul, on the other hand, was looking rock-solid, with two boundaries against Chris Woakes, and even Sai Sudharsan got a four on his first ball. Rahul was extremely watchful against pace, leaving the ball whenever needed, but punishing them with full disdain after sensing an opportunity. The duo took India to the 50-run mark in 12.1 overs. Sudharsan and Rahul steadied the ship for India, placing some well-timed boundaries at the right time. However, in the 21st over, skipper Ben Stokes got the ball and the skipper produced a miracle. Sudharsan's promising knock was cut short at 30 in 48 balls, with four boundaries. He attempted a flick, which landed into the hands of Zack Crawley at midwicket. After a first-innings duck, Sudharsan looked set for a fine score but could not convert. India was 82/2, with a 66-run partnership cut short. The final session was cut short due to rain. Rahul was joined by skipper Shubman Gill, who was unbeaten on 6*. England started the second session at 327/5, with Harry Brook (57*) and Jamie Smith (29*) unbeaten. Brook continued his counter-attack, while Smith (40 in 52 balls, with five fours and a six), Chris Woakes (38 in 55 balls, with three fours and two sixes) and Brydon Carse (22 in 23 balls, with four boundaries) also piled up useful scores. Brook missed out on his century, scoring 99 in 112 balls, with 11 fours and two sixes, with Prasidh Krishna getting him caught by Shardul Thakur at deep backwards square leg. A 55-run stand between Woakes and Carse took England past the 400-run mark, and they threatened to surpass India's first innings total before Jasprit Bumrah came in clutch. Bumrah (5/83) and Prasidh Krishna (3/128) were the top bowlers as England was bowled out for 465. England kickstarted the first session of the day at 209/3, with Ollie Pope (100*) and Brook (0*) unbeaten. While Prasidh struck early to remove Pope (106 in 137 balls, with 14 fours), Brook stitched a 51-run stand with skipper Ben Stokes (20 in 52 balls) and a 73-run stand with Smith, taking England well beyond the 300-run mark at session end. A century by Ollie Pope (106 in 137 balls, with 14 fours) and fifty from Ben Duckett (62 in 94 balls, with nine fours) on day two served as valuable contributions as well.

Jasprit Bumrah Equals Kapil Dev For Massive Test Record. He Has Done It In 32 Less Matches
Another day, another record for Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah as he became the first Asian player ever to have 150 wickets in South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia (SENA) nations. He achieved this milestone during the first Test against England at Leed's. In an almost lone-warrior effort, Bumrah took 5/83 in 24.4 overs, with an economy rate of 3.36. This is Bumrah's 10 five-wicket haul in SENA nations, becoming the first-ever Indian to touch this figure. Two more five-wicket hauls will take him above Pakistan legend Wasim Akram (11 SENA fifers). This is also 12th five-wicket haul for Bumrah in away Tests, equalling that of former Indian skipper Kapil Dev. He tops this list because of his lower Test match count (34) as compared to Kapil (66). Notably, Bumrah has four five-wicket hauls in Australia, three in England, three each in England and South Africa and two in the West Indies. Only two of his five-wicket hauls have come in India. Notably, England started the second session at 327/5, with Harry Brook (57*) and Jamie Smith (29*) unbeaten. Brook continued his counter-attack, while Smith (40 in 52 balls, with five fours and a six), Chris Woakes (38 in 55 balls, with three fours and two sixes) and Brydon Carse (22 in 23 balls, with four boundaries) also piled up useful scores. Brook missed out on his century, scoring 99 in 112 balls, with 11 fours and two sixes. Bumrah (5/83) and Prasidh Krishna (3/128) were the top bowlers as England was bowled out for 465 in response to India's first innings 471 runs, trailing by six runs. A century by Ollie Pope (106 in 137 balls, with 14 fours) and fifty from Ben Duckett (62 in 94 balls, with nine fours) on day two, served as valuable contributions as well. England, on day one, won the toss and opted to bowl first. Centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal (101 in 159 balls, with 16 fours), skipper Shubman Gill (147 in 227 balls, with 19 fours and a six) and Rishabh Pant (134 in 178 balls, with 12 fours and six sixes) took India to 471. 430/4 at one point, skipper Ben Stokes (4/66) and Josh Tongue (4/86) caused a collapse.
