India has been keeping things slow, not sure how it would benefit them in the long term.

India vs England 2025: This is a test for India at this stage! Sai Sudharsan needs to step up now and display his craft. Jaiswal is keeping the game up with boundaries and running between the wickets. England are also fighting back with proper fielding strategy in the game.

Speaking of the game, Team India are now 100 up against England Cricket! 

India vs England 2025: Yashasvi Jaiswal is sailing as he helps with runs and bringing the aggression in the right time. Sudharsan is mostly doing block and play, and Jaiswal needs to do the heavy lifting. 

India vs England 2025: Maiden off the 31st over from Brydon Carse as Jaiswal does no heroics and keeps it safe after the fall of the wicket. Sai Sudharsan is now in the attack.

Just two runs off the 30th over.

India vs England 2025: Jaiswal is looking to attack but the Englishmen have set up a tight fielding to keep him at bay. KL has been calm and composed, but Jaiswal is bringing the fire with sleek boundaries!

India vs England 2025: Also arguably the shot of the session came from Jaiswal, who ramped this one beautifully.

India vs England 2025: Here's a moment you may have missed out on in the first session - a Woakes in-swinger led to Jaiswal's bat snapping!

India vs England 2025: And that is lunch. India are 78-0 after the final over of the session from Archer yields just 2 runs. A good start to the day as they near the 100-run mark with all 10 wickets still left. A lot to play for in the second session of the day. 

India vs England 2025: SIX! A big upper cut against the England captain sees Jaiswal get the first 6 of the match - what a shot, what a player! Perfect time to counterttack too.

India vs England 2025: Archer manages to get Rahul in a twist but he takes good evasive action against a ball that bounces well and just misses the outside edge. But Jaiswal manages a cheeky ramp over the slips that runs away to the boundary!

India vs England 2025: The aim of Rahul and Jaiswal as of now seems to be to keep things calm before lunch and not lose a wicket, which makes sense as an approach. But Jaiswal manages a boundary off Stokes to end the 23rd over too!

India vs England 2025: England sensing something here as Stokes brings Archer back into the attack. Rahul and Jaiswal remain resolute in defence for now. Just the one run comes off the over.

India vs England 2025: KL Rahul plays out Stokes in his third over but is unable to score a run off him, and Stokes beats his edge on a couple of occasions!

India vs England 2025: Brydon Carse delivers another decent over but Archer puts hearts in England mouths by taking too long to get up after a dive in the deep. Thankfully he is up and about shortly thereafter. 

India vs England 2025: Ben Stokes has been a man on a mission these first 2 overs and has done well to keep Jaiswal quiet. Superb from the English captain thus far.

India vs England 2025: FOUR! Jaiswal attempts to cut loose and manages a streaky boundary against Carse as he flashes hard outside off and the ball flies past the slip cordon. 

India vs England 2025: Ben Stokes brings himself into the attack and has a good first over, including a turned down LBW appeal vs Rahul. The ball is definitely talking.

England bowlers have failed to take advantage of the overcast conditions and both KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal have managed to stay out of trouble so far in Manchester.

India will hope to build on a solid score on the board as KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal toil under the overcast conditions at Old Trafford in Manchester.
