Jack Leach: Thought Rishabh Pant was playing in the IPL - Cricket News - Sportstar

The Hindu  

England team-mates helped Jack Leach stay strong and bounce back from the hammering he received from Rishabh Pant during the first Test against India, the left-arm spinner said after his team’s 227-run win. Riding on productive bowling spells from Leach and James Anderson, England took a 1-0 lead in the four-match series. Was a tough evening that one but boys helped me stay strong,” Leach said after the match. Set a 420-run target to go one up in the rubber on the fifth day, India was bowled out for 192 in the second session, with captain Virat Kohli's half-century the major piece of resistance for the home team on a challenging M. A. Chidambaram pitch.
