IND vs ENG
India vs England 1st Test: The first test match is being played between India and England. In this match, England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and decided to bat first. The England team was out after scoring 246 runs in the first innings. Team India has so far scored 421 runs at the loss of 7 wickets in the first innings and the Indian team has also taken a lead of 175 runs. After two days of play, Team India seems to be in a strong position. But now in the middle of the first test match, a bad news has come for the England team. A star player of the team is injured.
This player got hurt
According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, England team’s star spinner Jack Leach injured his knee while trying to stop the boundary on the first day. Due to this he bowled only 16 overs on the second day. He bowled a maximum of four overs in a spell and kept going in and out of the field for treatment. But the next day Jack Leach’s troubles increased further. Due to Leach’s injury, Joe Root took over most of the spin bowling. He gave 77 runs in his quota of 24 overs and took 2 wickets. Tom Hartley and 19-year-old leg spinner Rehan Ahmed also bowled. Hartley also took two wickets.
The coach said this
England’s spin bowling coach Jeetan Patel said he took a hit to his knee while diving first at fine leg last night. You saw in the outfield that he was a bit sloppy trying to get to the balls, but he stuck to it and I thought he bowled really well. The truth is that he will not run away from that responsibility. This is sad. I believe he will come back to bowl in the fourth innings. He is one of the strongest guys on the team. We have four Tests to play and one more innings to play at the end of this game. We need an important person like Jack.
This is how my career has been
Jack Leach is the most experienced spinner of the England team on the India tour. He made his Test debut for England in 2018. Since then he has taken 124 wickets in 35 Test matches for England. Taking 5 wickets for 66 runs has been his best performance. Apart from this, he has 432 wickets in his name in first class cricket.
