Stirred in England after Gill-Jayaswal’s century! (PC-PTI)
Team India scored 359 runs for 3 wickets on the first day of the Leeds Test, as if there was an outcry in England. Former captain Michael Vaughan called England captain Ben Stokes to break the traditions. According to him, a decision by Ben Stokes has pushed England on the backfoot on the very first day. In fact, Michael Vaughan expressed surprise at Ben Stokes’s decision to bowl first by winning the toss in the first Test match between India and England. In Leeds, England’s plan to invite India to bat was upside down, as England got only three wickets on the first day, while India scored 359 runs thanks to the centuries of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill.
Stokes’s decision is shocking to von
According to ‘The Independent’, Vaughan said that Stokes won the toss in Leeds and chose the first bowling and put the traditions on hold. He told that at present, England’s strength is in his batting, while his bowling line-up is quite inexperienced. Vaughan said, ‘When there is sunlight in the leads and the weather is dry, then you should bat first. When Stokes said that he would bowl first, I was surprised. Traditions were thrown out of the window. Look at the England team, their strength is in batting. There is still a lack of experience in bowling.
England bowlers beaten
On the first day in the headingley, all five England bowlers were washed away by the Indian batsmen. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an innings of 101 runs. Shubman Gill scored 127 not out, while Pant hit 65 not out. KL Rahul also scored an innings of 42 runs. It is clear that England’s team has come on the backfoot and that is why von is so angry with the England captain. However, von has refused to call the pitch a flat. He says that he will not say that the pitch is flat until he does not see Bumrah’s bowling.
