India vs England: Rishabh Pant's fireworks light up Day 1 of fifth Test as momentum swings back in visitors' favour

Rishabh Pant (right) and Ravindra Jadeja came to India's rescue on Day 1 after England pacers left the visitors reeling at 98/5 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. By the end of the day India were 338/7 in 73 overs. AP

 

Rishabh Pant eventually fell short of a 150 by four runs as he played a 111-ball 146, laced with 19 fours and four sixes. AP

 

Ravindra Jadeja remained on the crease through the end of the day as he finished the day on 83 not out off 163 balls after playing second fiddle to Pant in the huge partnership. Jadeja will resume Day 2 with Mohammed Shami. AP

 

Former India captain Virat Kohli, however, had a forgettable outing as he could only score a 19-ball 11 and fell to rookie pacer Matty Potts, who also claimed the wicket of Hanuma Vihari (20). AP

 

Cheteshwar Pujara came out to bat as a surprise opener on Day 1 with Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul missing out the game. The Test specialist could only contribute 13 runs on the day. AP

 

James Anderson had bagged 15 wickets in the four matches in the series so far which were played in 2021. AP

 

In a bizzare incident, England captain Ben Stokes's troubles with no balls resurfaced again as he bowled 10 no balls on the day. AP
