IND vs ENG, Leeds Weather Live Updates: Thunderstorm Warning For Day 2
India vs England, Leeds Weather Today Live Updates: India couldn't have hoped for a better start in the newly-minted Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, with captain Shubman Gill leading the charge with an unbeaten 127 (175), winged by Rishabh Pant (65*), Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) and KL Rahul (42).
With 359/3 on the board on a mostly flat surface, they are in a dominating position. If they can bat another session on Day 2 mostly unscathed, the management will need to think about the prospect of trying to bat for just one innings and putting enough runs to bowl the hosts out twice.
England were left wanting for experience in their bowling attack, which was spared from further embarrassment by captain-all-rounder Ben Stokes' two wickets. They'll want to come up with better plans and fresher ideas, though with India's batting depth till number nine, it won't be enough to overturn this Test.
However, what might help them is rain. The troublesome English weather remained at bay on Day 1, but there is a significantly higher chance of rain on Day 2, which India won't like. A stop-start contest will break the visitors' momentum and decrease some crucial time from the contest.

1st Test: Gill hits career-best 147, Pant smashes 134 as India reach 454/7 against England
Leeds: Captain Shubman Gill's career-best 147 and vice-captain Rishabh Pant's astonishing 134 propelled India to 454/7 in 108.4 overs at lunch on day two of the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Headingley on Saturday. Resuming from 359/3, India had a session of two halves – 53/0 before the drinks break was taken. By then, Pant hit his seventh Test century and went past MS Dhoni (six) for the most Test centuries hit by an Indian wicketkeeper. The flamboyant Pant's third Test hundred in England, laced with magnificence and madness in stroke-play in equal measure, is a feat no other visiting keeper has achieved before. But after the drinks break, India lost four wickets, including both centurions Gill and Pant, for 42 runs, giving England a chance of bowling out India below 500. Gill got Day Two underway with a gorgeous extra cover drive off Chris Woakes for four before Pant pulled and steered Brydon Carse for boundaries, despite missing a hack down the ground off the pacer. The duo continued to trade in boundaries, as Pant went into the 90s with a falling scoop off Shoaib Bashir for four, before walloping him for six. Pant then stepped out to heave Bashir for a one-handed six over midwicket to bring up his enthralling century off 146 deliveries and celebrated with his signature somersault, a skill he picked up from undergoing gymnastics practice in his growing-up years. Pant then brought up 200 runs of his stand with Gill when he managed to clear long-off for six off Bashir before the partnership was ended by the off-spinner when the Indian captain holed out to deep square leg, as he fell for a classy 147. Pant's fun continued when he creamed Stokes for four, and slog-swept Bashir for six, before pulling off the England captain for another boundary. But from the other end, Karun Nair's comeback to the Test team after eight years lasted just four balls as he reached out to a wide ball off Stokes, and Ollie Pope at cover took a brilliant leaping catch to dismiss him for a duck. With some reverse swing on offer, Pant was troubled by inswingers from Josh Tongue, before shouldering arms to a sharp nip-backer from around the wicket and was trapped lbw right in front of the stumps. Soon after, Shardul Thakur slashed Stokes behind to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith at the stroke of lunch, leaving India's quest of making 600 in doubt. Brief scores: India 454/7 in 108.4 overs (Shubman Gill 147, Rishabh Pant 134; Ben Stokes 4-66, Josh Tongue 1-79) against England

Jun 21, 2025 07:00 PM IST Jasprit Bumrah was just about to get to his bowling mark when umpires Paul Reiffel and Chris Gaffaney asked him to wait and instructed the groundstaff to bring the covers. England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, who were inches away from stepping onto the field, sprinted back to the pavilion. India's fielders leave the field as rain stops play on day two of the first cricket test match between England and India at Headingley cricket ground in Leeds(AFP) The rain was not heavy by any means, but according to the umpires, it was enough to delay England's first innings in the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Bumrah put his cap on even as Mohammed Siraj sported a perplexed look. With his arms spread, Rishabh Pant asked the umpires the reason for going off the field. The Indian cricketers were obviously not happy and were heavily reluctant to walk off the field. (more to follow…)
