Bairstow shares a friendly exchange with Kuldeep Yadav, who responds with a smile, while Shubman Gill also greets him warmly. Despite facing challenges, it has turned out to be an exceptional day for India.
Considering the unexpected absence of Ashwin due to a family medical emergency last night, the day unfolded in a way nobody could have predicted. The bowlers played a pivotal role, taking advantage of a couple of loose shots from Root and Stokes, ultimately bowling out England and securing a lead of 126 runs.
Despite initially having the hosts on the back foot, England squandered their advantageous position, turning what could have been a decisive day in the match and series into a favorable situation for India. Instead of capitalizing on Ashwin's absence, England now finds themselves in a challenging position, battling to salvage the game.
