India had crumbed to 127 for 7 on the opening day of the ICC World Test Championship match against England at The Oval. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings of 57 from 36 balls from Shardul Thakur lifted the visitors to a respectable 190. Earlier, Indian captain Virat Kohli had contributed 50.

In reply, England crumbled to 62 for 5 as Jasprit Burmah sent back the openers. Umesh Yadav claimed three wickets, including the big one of England captain Joe Root. Ollie Pope (81) and Chris Woakes (50), though, ensured England took a significant 99-run lead.

In the visitors' second innings, opener Rohit Sharma’s maiden overseas Test hundred put Tean India firmly on top. There were good contributions from Cheteshwar Pujara (61), Thakur (60) and Rishabh Pant (50) as India posted an imposing total of 466, batting for 148.2 overs.
