India's Pant, Rahul score centuries to set England 371 to win
Briefly

India's cricket team collapsed to 364 all out, providing England an opportunity to chase 371 runs for victory in the first Test match at Headingley. Following a shaky start, with England at 21-0 by day's end, Josh Tongue's standout performance dismantled the Indian lower order, claiming three wickets in four balls. India had earlier gained momentum through a strong partnership between Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, but their inability to sustain the lead raised the stakes for England, who are aiming for a remarkable chase reminiscent of past heroics at the venue.
Another India lower-order collapse gave England a fighting chance of a thrilling cricket victory in the first Test at Headingley, with hosts 21-0 in their second innings at the close of play on day four.
The collapse, which saw India all out for 364, gave the dangerous Jasprit Bumrah the chance to attack England before close of play.
To get them all out and not lose a wicket in the last half hour, Ducky [Ben Duckett] and Zak [Crawley] batted really well, Tongue told Sky Sports.
The first session we batted really well, I thought we were unlucky. The message was to hit the pitch as hard as we can. It flattened out in the second session.
