England, India Test at Headingley Remains Even

The opening Test between England and India at Headingley is finely poised after standout performances from both sides. India scored 471 in their first innings, highlighted by centuries from Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, but lost their last seven wickets for just 41 runs as Ben Stokes and Josh Tongue took four wickets each. England responded with a resilient 465, driven by Ollie Pope's century and key contributions from Harry Brook and Ben Duckett, while Jasprit Bumrah secured a five-wicket haul. Mohammed Siraj broke a crucial eighth-wicket stand with a yorker. The match is closely contested, with England trailing by six runs at tea on Day 3. The Test remains open for either team as both have shown strengths and weaknesses.
