India’s innings folded at 445 after their tail wagged well.
Ravichandran Ashwin gifted his wicket when he jumped own the track to find big runs but ended up hitting straight to Ben Stokes at mid-on, walking back for a fine 37 from 89 balls which included six fours.
Debutant wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel deserved a fifty on debut but there was disappointment to be dealt with when he was dismissed a mere four runs short of his milestone, caught behind by Ben Foakes off Rehan Ahmed (2/85).
Nevertheless, Jurel’s innings was replete with promise as the young batter cracked three sixes including a spectacular upper-cut on a delivery in excess of 146 kmph angling into him off Mark Wood for his first boundary in international cricket.
Jurel’s 104-ball 46 also included two fours as the wicketkeeper-batter enjoyed luck coming his way.
