Rahul & Pant out, middle order flops once again, last 7 batsmen out for 41 runs in first innings, last 6 batsmen out for 31 runs in second innings.
In the India vs. England 1st Test at Headingley, Day 4 (June 23, 2025), a dramatic collapse saw India lose 6 wickets, including KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with Josh Tongue claiming three wickets in a single over.
Rahul scored a resilient 137 off 247 balls, and Pant smashed 118 off 140 balls, with their 195-run partnership taking India to a 304-run lead at tea (298/4).
However, post-tea, Tongue’s devastating over (91st) dismissed Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah for no runs, triggering a collapse of 6 wickets for 31 runs.
Ravindra Jadeja (25*) was going unbeaten as India ended their second innings.
Tongue’s remarkable spell shifted the momentum, putting England back in the contest despite India’s earlier dominance.
