India Vs England, 1st Test Day 1: Check The Best Pictures From Headingley

India stamped their authority on Day 1 of the Headingley Test, finishing at a dominant 359/3 after being asked to bat first by England. Openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal laid a solid foundation with a 91-run stand before Rahul fell for 42 and debutant B Sai Sudharsan was dismissed on the stroke of lunch. Jaiswal then took charge, battling through cramps to score a composed 101, becoming the first Indian opener to score a century at Headingley. His dismissal, courtesy of a beauty from Ben Stokes, brought captain Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant together, and the duo took complete control in the final session. Gill marked his captaincy debut with a sublime unbeaten century, while Pant counter-attacked with flair to bring up his 16th Test fifty and cross 3000 career runs. Their unbroken 138-run partnership ensured a near-perfect day for India, as England were left to rue their decision to bowl first on a surface that flattened out as the day progressed.
