Rishabh Pant’s explosive century and Jasprit Bumrah’s fiery spell initially put India in a commanding position at Headingley. However, Ollie Pope’s resilient, unbeaten hundred, coupled with crucial partnerships, allowed England to weather the storm and reach 209 for 3 in response to India’s 471. Despite a late breakthrough by Bumrah, England’s grit, led by Pope, kept them in the game.
