Jaiswal’s Blitz Propels India Towards Victory in Leeds
India dominated the third day’s play in the fifth Test against England at Leeds, reaching a commanding position at lunch. The Men in Blue reached 189/3 in their second innings, extending their lead to a substantial 166 runs.
Young Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his impressive form, remaining unbeaten on 85 at the lunch break. His partnership with Akash Deep, who contributed a valuable 66, yielded a crucial 107 runs for the fourth wicket.
This significant partnership helped India consolidate their position after a shaky start. The team now looks well-placed to secure a victory and salvage some pride in the series, which England currently leads 2-1.
The afternoon session will be crucial as India aims to further extend their lead and put immense pressure on the English batting line-up. A win here would not only level the series but also boost India’s confidence ahead of future challenges.
