England vs India: Epic Centuries Prop Up Thriller at Headingley

India Dominate, But England Remain in the Game

The first Test between India and England at Headingley entered its final day with India holding a substantial lead. After two centuries from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, India had set England a target of 371 to win.

England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett survived six overs, but still trail by 350 runs. The hosts will need to chase down a challenging total on a pitch that is producing venomous bounce.

Rahul's 137 and Pant's 118 were the highlights of the Indian batting. However, Josh Tongue's impressive bowling spell dismissed the Indian tail for just 31 runs.

England had earlier struggled with the ball, but managed to restrict India to 364 in their second innings. Despite losing their last six wickets for a mere 31 runs, India still maintained a significant lead.

The final day promises an exciting finish with all four possible outcomes still in the balance. England will need to overcome the challenging pitch and score at a brisk pace to have a chance of victory.
