The Indian cricket team made a strong comeback on the first day of the fifth Test against England on Friday. Even after losing 5 wickets for 98 runs, the team ended the day's play on 338 runs for 7 wickets. Wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant's innings of 146 runs were important in taking the team to this strong position. During this innings, Pant not only broke the record of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni but also left behind Sachin Tendulkar in one case.

England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to bowl in the fifth Test against India. The captain's decision was proved right by veteran James Anderson taking two early wickets. After this, the team got three more setbacks and the score became 5 wickets for 98 runs. From here, Pant and Jadeja put up a 222-run partnership for the sixth wicket and took the team out with difficulty.
