England won the Headingley game by five wickets with 84 balls left to play. While the hosts gave solid chase to a good total put up by India, the game will have been one to forget for Yashasvi Jaiswal, who dropped four catches in the innings.
This makes him the Indian cricketer to drop most catches in a Test innings -- a record he will be keen to forget. The first was Ajinkya Rahane, who dropped three catches against Bangladesh in the 2019 Test.
Ben Duckett top-scored with 149 as England beat India by five wickets in the first Test of the five-match series for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy here on Tuesday.
Resuming at 21 for no loss on the fifth and final day, England remained unscathed in the first session and even as India fought back with four wickets in the second, they remained ahead in the chase.
Chasing 371 for the win, the hosts reached 373 for 5 from 82 overs.
Joe Root (53 not out) and Jamie Smith (44 not out) took England over the line with an unbeaten 71-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
The second Test will be played from July 2-6 at Birmingham.
