KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal led a superb start for India in Leeds with the pair adding 91 runs after being put in to bat first at Headingley. Brydon Carse broke the partnership with the scalp of Rahul on 42. Debutant B Sai Sudharsan then made a four-ball duck as India reached 92/2 at lunch break.
India start their ICC World Test Championship campaign in Leeds from today as they face hosts England in the first game of a five-match series. India have a young captain in Shubman Gill and a squad that appears vastly inexperienced compared to their opponents thanks to the absence of star batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. England, despite the home advantage and an aggressive batting line-up, will be cautious as their pace attack has been depleted thanks to the injuries to first-choice stars Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson.
