IND vs ENG, 1st Test: Team India lost by 28 runs in Hyderabad, England's big win
Team India lost by 28 runs at the hands of England in the Hyderabad Test. In response to the target of 231 runs given by England on the fourth day of the match, Team India was all out for only 202 runs in their second innings. Along with this, England started the series with a memorable win on Indian soil. In the second innings for England, the England team came back with Ollie Pope's strong innings of 196 runs, after which the debutant spinner Tom Hartley destroyed the Indian innings by taking 7 wickets.
On the fourth day of the match, England started their second innings with 326 runs and ended the innings with 420 runs. Thus Team India got a target of 231 runs. This target was going to be difficult but in the face of England's bowling, there was hope that the Indian batsmen would achieve this target. Left-arm spinner Hartley did not allow this to happen and dismissed Team India for 202 runs.
The whole team collapsed in front of Hartley
Captain Rohit Sharma (39) and Yashshwi Jaiswal put on a 42-run opening partnership for Team India and raised hopes that the target could be achieved. Then an over from Tom Hartley changed everything. In this over, Hartley first took the wicket of Jaiswal and then dismissed Shubman Gill as well. In no time, Hartley took the wicket of Rohit and increased India's problems. Team India promoted Akshar Patel to number five, who formed a short partnership with KL Rahul but was dismissed by Hartley as well.
There were eyes on Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja but Jadeja was run out by a brilliant throw from Ben Stokes. Ravichandran Ashwin and KS Bharat put on a formidable partnership (59 runs) after 7 wickets fell on 119 and it looked like both would take the match to the 5th day but Tom Hartley 2 overs before the end of the game. Bowled Bharat (28) on a brilliant delivery. Then in his very next over, Hartley also stumped Ashwin. The match was extended for half an hour for the last wicket and Hartley took the wicket of Mohammad Siraj in the last over to end the match.
Pope played a strong innings to give the lead to the team
Before this, Ollie Pope from England gave a strong response to India's lead of 190 runs in the first innings. His fighting style is evident from the runs scored by Pope. In the second innings, he single-handedly scored almost half of England's runs. Ollie Pope scored 196 off 278 balls, which included 21 fours. Pope opened with a score of 148 on the fourth day and led the team to 420 runs.
However, he could not make his double century and was dismissed for 196. Pope also got good support from Hartley (34) and Rehan Ahmed (28). It was only as a result of their efforts that the England team not only managed to overcome the lead of 190 runs, but also set the target of 231 runs to the team India.
