ENG vs IND: Michael Vaughan slams Ben Stokes's decision to bowl in Leeds Test
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has questioned Ben Stokes's call to bowl first on a sun-drenched opening day at Headingley, expressing disbelief at the decision that allowed India to pile on 359 for 3 on Day 1 of the Leeds Test. Ben Stokes' decision seemed ill-advised, as centuries from opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Shubman Gill—his first as skipper—powered India to a commanding position in their series opener against who knows the Leeds venue intimately, having played 51 first-class matches there-including four as England captain-said he was "staggered" by Stokes's decision at the toss. "I am an old-school traditionalist here at Leeds that when the sun is shining, with dry weather, you bat," Vaughan told BBC Test Match Special. "I was staggered when he said he was going to bowl. Traditions are out the window. You have to pick your decisions on that moment, and not things that you did here years ago."England's strategy to field first has become a familiar pattern since Stokes took over the captaincy in 2022. In the nine home Tests where England won the toss during his tenure, they have opted to bowl first eight times, winning six of those matches. Vaughan, however, cautioned against relying too heavily on recent trends or historical ENG vs IND 1st Test Day 1 Highlights"You always have to pick your decisions on that moment," Vaughan reiterated. "And not things that you did here years ago or at other times. It can't affect what the decision is today. You look at the England side and their strength is in the batting. And there is inexperience in the bowling at the moment. Ben clearly had a gut feeling, and sometimes it has worked."While recent history at Headingley might have supported England's approach-the last six Tests at the venue were all won by teams bowling first-conditions on the day seemed to favour batting. The pitch flattened out quickly, allowing Yashasvi Jaiswal and newly-appointed Indian captain Shubman Gill to each bring up superb fast-bowling consultant, Tim Southee, shed some light on the rationale behind the toss decision, citing the green tinge and early morning moisture as potential sources of assistance for the bowlers."With the colour of the wicket yesterday, and a little bit of moisture left in it, if there was a little bit of help in it, it was probably going to be this morning," said Southee. "That was the thinking behind the decision. You look at the surface and make the decision on what you think will give you the best chance. Not all the time do you get it right." You May Also Like

ENG vs IND: Southee defends England's decision to bowl after India's Leeds show
England bowling coach Tim Southee has defended captain Ben Stokes's decision to bowl first after India piled on a commanding 359 for 3 on the opening day of the first Test at Headingley. Centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal and new captain Shubman Gill put India in complete control on a surface that offered little assistance once the early morning moisture dried decision to field raised eyebrows, especially given the nature of the pitch and India's response with the bat. However, Southee, who is part of England's coaching staff as a consultant for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, insisted the call was made based on Thursday's pitch vs IND 1st Test Day 1 Highlights "I think with the colour of the wicket yesterday and a little bit of, I guess, moisture left in it. There was gonna be a little bit of probably this morning, so, yeah, I think that's the thinking behind the decision," Southee explained. "I think the Indian openers sort of negotiated that first hour relatively well. KL Rahul left well and, and Jaiswal played his hand as well throughout. So I think there was a little bit of assistance there, but for the rest of that it was a pretty good surface I guess is encouraging for our guys when we get an opportunity to bat as well."advertisementJaiswal (101) and Gill (127 not out) showcased composure and class as they stitched together a 129-run stand for the third wicket, lifting India from a shaky 92 for 2 after KL Rahul (42) and debutant B Sai Sudharsan (0) had fallen in quick succession. Rishabh Pant (65 not out) added further impetus in the final session, helping India finish with a flourish, scoring at 4.22 runs per over, to reach 359 for 3 at the close of play on Day was playing his first Test in England, Gill his fourth, and Sai Sudharsan was on debut - a fact that may have played into England's thinking at the toss. The last six Tests at Headingley had all seen the team bowling first emerge victorious, but critics suggested England were too focused on past results rather than current conditions."Don't think you think too much. You look at the surface and you make a decision on what you think is gonna give you the best chance. Not all the time you get it right," Southee admitted. "But I think, you look at the weather around and I guess there's a little bit of moisture left in that wicket this morning. I think the first hour or so there's gonna be potentially a little bit, but historically with this weather around it's gonna be turned into a pretty, pretty good surface at some stage."advertisementWhile England's bowlers toiled for long spells, India's performance marked a significant shift in their batting era, with Jaiswal and Gill making a strong statement in the absence of senior figures like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Their innings not only laid a strong platform for India but also set the tone for the newly established five-Test Anderson-Tendulkar challenge for England now is to respond with the bat - and hope the surface, as Southee suggested, remains good enough for them to claw their way back into the contest.

India vs England: Rishabh Pant Goes Past MS Dhoni To Become Asia's Most Successful...
Rishabh Pant completed 3000 runs in Test cricket on Thursday, surpassing former Indian skipper MS Dhoni as India's most successful wicketkeeper-batter in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) countries. Pant achieved this feat in his outing against England on Friday at Leeds Headingley, Day 1 of the first match of the five-Test series. This is also the start of the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle for both nations. Pant remained not out on 65 at the end of Day 1. He became Asia's most successful wicketkeeper-batter in the SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) countries, surpassing the legendary Dhoni. Pant now has 1746 runs in SENA in 27 matches at an average of 38.80; he also has four centuries and six fifties to his name. Earlier on Day 1, a composed century from debutant captain Shubman Gill, a fluent ton by Yashasvi Jaiswal, and a measured innings from vice-captain Rishabh Pant powered India to a dominant 359/3 at stumps on Day 1 of the first Test against England at Headingley on Friday. After Jaiswal set the tone with a sparkling 101 off 159 balls, featuring sixteen boundaries and a six, Gill took over with a captain's knock, showing maturity and poise throughout his unbeaten 127-run effort. The stylish right-hander struck sixteen fours and a maximum in his 175-ball stay, steering India to their highest-ever first-day total in a Test match on English soil. Pant supported his skipper brilliantly, remaining unbeaten on 65 from 102 deliveries. His innings was laced with six fours and two towering sixes, and he looked in full control alongside Gill in their unbroken 138-run partnership. Jaiswal and KL Rahul's impactful innings powered India to finish the first session of Day 1 of the first Test, on 92/2 at Headingley, Leeds. England broke the Indian opening partnership on the stroke of Lunch as KL Rahul narrowly missed out on his half-century.
