Hartley takes 7 wickets, India defeated by England at home



In a rare occasion, India gets defeated by England at home soil in Hyderabad test on Sunday.


England stun India in thrilling 28 runs win in the First Test , takes 1-0 lead in 5 test match series in India.


India had looked to be in the box seat after taking a lead of 190 in their first innings, but Pope’s epic innings of 196 runs resuscitated England, who posted 420 all out in their second innings to roar back into the contest.

That left the hosts needing 231 to win the match. But slow left-arm bowler Hartley’s 7-62 in his debut Test wrecked India, who were all out for 202 in an extended final session on the penultimate day.

India captain Rohit Sharma’s 39 was the top score by an Indian batter in the second innings as the hosts lost 4-24 in a mid-innings collapse.

Ravichandran Ashwin (28) and Srikar Bharat (28) added 57 runs for the eighth wicket to try to take the match into its final day, but that was not to be.

The match went into the extra half hour of the day with both sides closing on victory and India trying to avoid only a fourth home defeat in 47 Tests.

England captain Ben Stokes said he was “incredibly proud” of the performance.

In an attempt to extend the match into the last day, Ravichandran Ashwin (28), together with Srikar Bharat (28), scored 57 runs for the ninth wicket. However, it did not work out.

Both teams were closing in on victory as the game entered its final half-hour of play, with India attempting to avoid just its fourth home loss in 47 Tests.

There are still four tests to go. It's time to support this performance. We are aware that India will retaliate severely against us. They are an extremely formidable team, but it is encouraging for us if we can continue to hold our own against them.

"There is still a long way to go, but it's very early days, and we are very proud to be up 1-0." England skipper said.

On Friday, the five-test series' second match gets underway in Visakhapatnam.

Virat Kohli, who declared he would miss the first two Tests of the series for personal reasons, is still not available for India.
