India`s batsmen shine as Jaiswal and Gill lead the charge on Day One at Headingley, leaving England in shock.

India has seized control of the first Test match against England at Headingley, amassing an impressive 215/2 by tea on Day One of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal shone brightly, scoring his maiden Test century on English soil, displaying a stunning array of off-side strokes that left England`s bowlers scrambling. His commanding performance included powerful cuts and drives that showcased his burgeoning talent.

Shubman Gill, the Test captain, complemented Jaiswal’s brilliance with a brisk half-century, remaining unbeaten on 58 runs off 74 balls. Together, the duo forged an unbroken 123-run partnership for the third wicket, propelling India into a commanding position as they looked to capitalize on England`s decision to bowl first.

However, the day wasn`t without its drama. England`s bowlers faced an unexpected setback when they were penalized five runs after a ball edged by Jaiswal struck a helmet placed behind the wicketkeeper. The bewilderment on the faces of captain Ben Stokes and star player Joe Root was palpable as they grappled with the bizarre turn of events. As the match unfolds, live commentary and analysis are available, capturing the challenges faced by England`s bowling attack and the prowess of the Indian batsmen.
