India become first team to lose a Test match after five players scored centuries

India became the first cricket team to lose a Test despite five of their batters scoring centuries in the first Test against England at Headingley. A magnificent century from Ben Duckett helped steer England to a sensational five-wicket win in the first game after a thrilling day five on Tuesday. The hosts reached a target of 371, the 10th highest successful run chase in red-ball cricket history, with the loss of five wickets. With the defeat in the first Test, India became the first team to lose a Test match with five individual batters scoring centuries. The visitors’ Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant scored tons in the first innings, while Pant and KL Rahul did it in the second.

Another eventful day when ten wickets fell after 14 tumbled on day one also featured contentious television umpiring decisions which left the West Indies feeling aggrieved. Travis Head, so often the counter-attacking star for the men from Down Under in all formats of the game, will carry the battle into the third morning with all-rounder Beau Webster after all four West Indies bowlers used in the second innings so far claimed a wicket each. Wicketless in the first innings, Alzarri Joseph was fir...
