ENG vs IND 1st Test: Joe Root century, Jasprit Bumrah fifer set up tantalising final day in Nottingham

India TV News  

Skipper Joe Root led from the front with a superb counter-attacking hundred but Jasprit Bumrah's five-wicket haul on the fourth day made India favourites to chase down a tricky victory target of 209 against England in the first Test. It was Root's 21st Test hundred -- a masterful 109 off 172 balls, that saw England put up a much-improved batting show, scoring 303 in 85.5 overs and secure a lead of 208 runs. However, the Indian bowlers were taken to task by the England captain, whose mode of survival for the better part of the innings was swift counter-attack that fetched him as many as 14 boundaries before Bumrah got one to rear up ensuring Rishabh Pant had the easiest of catches. Whether opening the bat face to use Bumrah's pace to glide it past gully or crunching Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami's half-volleys through the cover, Root was a delight to watch.
