IND vs ENG 2025: England pacers take uncommon route to choke India

England's Chris Woakes, without cap, celebrates with teammates after the dismissal of India's KL Rahul. (AP Photo) Extensive planning on view as Woakes & Co. ditch the full outswinging delivery, opt for hard lengths & tighter lines BIRMINGHAM: It came as no surprise when England captain Ben Stokes opted to field after winning the toss. The pitch was one of the flattest but Stokes had chalked out a clear plan for his fast bowlers — they would not bowl the regular outswing bowling one expected in English conditions. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! It was an unconventional approach for the first session of a Test match in England. By the third over of the opening day, it became clear that England's seamers had moved away from the conventional modes of dismissal in these conditions. Poll Do you think England's unconventional bowling strategy will be effective against India? Yes, it will disrupt their batting No, they should stick to traditional methods It depends on the pitch conditions Instead of challenging the outside edge of batters — particularly KL Rahul and Shubman Gill — they focused on cramping them up to choke the free-scoring Indian batsmen. A leg gully and a catching fielder in front of the wicket was a giveaway to the ploy. Rahul got off to a fluent start in the series by unleasing some free-flowing drives off full and wide outswingers in Leeds. On Wednesday, he was made to work for runs. Rahul could score just two off 26 balls in his stay, which lasted 8.4 overs. There were no drives on offer. 'We were close to getting him': Woakes admits Gill's control as India reach 310/5 at Edgbaston Local boy Chris Woakes, who has built his career on taking the ball away from right handers, resorted to bringing the ball back into Rahul, Karun Nair and Gill. He led the way for Brydon Carse, accused of bowling too full and wide in Leeds, to follow suit and hit the hard lengths and bowl tighter lines. Before Rahul played on to his stumps off a Woakes rising delivery which nipped back sharply off the seam, the veteran seamer got very close to getting Rahul LBW on the front foot, only to be denied by the onfield umpire's call after a DRS appeal. Later, Woakes broke out in an animated reaction when another DRS appeal was turned down, this time after hitting Nair on the pads while shouldering arms. The pacer's reaction spoke of the extensive planning done by the English camp during the eight-day break after the Headingley Test. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test Match: Boundaries shortened to counter two-spinner plan?

England captain Ben Stokes reacts after bowling a delivery on day one of the second Test. (AP Photo) BIRMINGHAM: The boundary dimensions here at Edgbaston were an intriguing topic of discussion when play began on Day One of the second Test. The boundary cushions looked distinctly asymmetrical and regulars at the ground said they had not seen such short boundaries before in Test matches at this venue. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The boundary fence on the side of the scoreboard, which is wide long-off for a righthanded batter from the pavilion end, looked particularly jarring. There were jokes made in hushed tones, with some even wondering if the playing area left unused could have been used for a kids' game! Poll Do you believe the boundary dimensions at Edgbaston should be standardized for all Test matches? Yes, consistency is key. No, variability adds excitement. The longest boundary was 65 metres, which happens to be the cow-corner hit. The straight boundaries are around 60 metres. India, interestingly, had announced well in advance that they would go in with two spinners, which begs the question if the boundaries were brought in to enable England's batters to go for the big hits. Yashasvi Jaiswal press conference: On Shubman Gill, confusion in India team selection and more One obvious vulnerability in the English batting has been their inability to take on spin, with the Indian camp publicly stating that spin could contain England's batting lineup. India picked Washington Sundar ahead of Kuldeep Yadav for this Test because of his ability to bowl tight lines for longer periods of time, besides his better batting abilities down the order. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 21st Century Skills Start with Confident Communication Planet Spark Learn More Undo However, the comparatively shorter boundaries are sure to encourage the uninhibited home batters to go big against India's spinners. It must be recalled that during the 2019 World Cup, the Indian team was left unhappy when one side of the boundary here was left unusually short for their match against England. The English batters nullified India's in-form spinners Kuldeep and Chahal. 'We were close to getting him': Woakes admits Gill's control as India reach 310/5 at Edgbaston ICC regulations say boundary sizes can range from 59m to 90m. It is believed that certain parts of the boundary were brought in by at least 5-10m. There should also be a distance of at least nine feet between the ropes and advertising boards, but one side looked 20-25 feet away from the boards!

(AP) On Day 3 at Wimbledon , Carlos Alcaraz ended Oliver Tarvet's dream run by defeating the British amateur in straight sets, advancing to the third round. Defending champion Alcaraz took just two hours and 17 minutes to overcome World No. 733 Tarvet, who showcased glimpses of his rising talent and thrilled the passionate crowd with flashes of brilliance. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Alcaraz has now won 20 matches in a row, a streak that includes titles at the Rome Masters, the French Open, and Queen's Club. He aims to become only the fifth man in the Open Era to secure at least three consecutive Wimbledon titles, joining Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and seven-time champion Novak Djokovic. Aryna Sabalenka reacts during her second round match against Marie Bouzkova at Wimbledon.(AP) Over on the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka bucked the trend of early shockers, defeating 48th-ranked Marie Bouzkova 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 in a fiercely contested, hard-hitting match. The Belarusian, who faced tough losses in both the Australian Open and French Open finals this year, impressed with 41 winners during the 95-minute encounter. 'Honestly, it's really sad to see so many top players losing, but you've got to focus on your own game,' said the three-time Grand Slam champion. 'I hope there won't be any more upsets in this tournament, if you know what I mean!' More seeds topple Wimbledon 2024 finalist Jasmine Paolini packs up to leave the court after losing to Kamilla Rakhimova in the second round at the 2025 Wimbledon Tennis Championships. (AP) Even before Day 3 of this year's Wimbledon began, 23 of 46 seeds had exited the tournament. By the time the curfew was imposed, another eight were headed for the exit door. But none bigger than fourth seed Jasmine Paolini. Paolini, beaten by Barbora Krejcikova in last year's Wimbledon final, suffered a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 defeat against Russian world number 62 Kamilla Rakhimova on Court 3. 12th seed Frances Tiafoe was the latest leading men's singles player to suffer the agony of an early defeat, going down 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 against British world number 61 Cameron Norrie. Emma Raducanu surprises herself Emma Raducanu celebrates winning the second round women's singles match against Marketa Vondrousova at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London. (AP) Britain's Emma Raducanu played some of her best tennis since her 2021 US Open victory, convincingly defeating 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the third round. Playing in front of a lively Centre Court crowd, Raducanu was left surprised by her own level as she outplayed the Czech. 'That was one of the best matches I've played in a long time,' Raducanu said. 'I turned around a point that I think is probably the best point I've ever played, so that was pretty crazy. I think the crowd was really into it.' However, she may need to elevate her game even further in her next encounter. With four of the five top women's seeds already knocked out, Raducanu's next opponent will be the only remaining top seed — No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. 'Yeah, I guess there's no pressure at all on me in the next round,' Raducanu said with a laugh during the on-court interview. British men progress in numbers Jack Draper of Britain serves to Sebastian Baez of Argentina during their men's singles match at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. (AP) British tennis players had already created history at Wimbledon 2025. A record number had entered the main draw, a record number progressed from the first round and the hunt for the next Andy Murray continued with a record number of men making it into the Round of 64. Seven men including fourth seed Jack Draper, Dan Evans, Jack Pinnington Jones and amateur Oliver Tarvet all made it into this year's second round at Wimbledon -- Britain's best tally at any Slam since 1997. Andy Murray had ended Britain's wait for a men's Wimbledon champion in 2013 - a wait that had gone on for 77 years or since Fred Perry's title in 1936. The next wait could be shorter thanks to Draper. The 23-year-old has been keen to keep expectations low although he says British tennis is currently "in a good spot", partly due to Murray's influence. "Andy has had a huge effect on a lot of the younger generation, watching his success over the years, major success on the big stage. "It's really exciting what we're going to have in the next 10 years.... It's cool to be a part of that," said the winner of Indian Wells Masters 1000 title this week. Draper's next round at Wimbledon is against former Wimbledon finalist and 2014 US Open winner Marin Cilic. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, John Cena grace Wimbledon's Royal Box Actor Priyanka Chopra and her musician husband Nick Jonas arrive in the Royal Box at Centre Court during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London. (AP) Priyanka Chopra and husband Nick Jonas, John Cena, Olivia Rodrigo and Dave Grohl were some of the big names in the Wimbledon Royal Box on Wednesday. 'It's so special in the Royal Box to have those kind of people in there. It definitely adds a bit of pressure, I guess, if you look up and you kind of recognize (them),' Raducanu said. 'That's why I try and stay with my eyes on the court as much as possible. Only after, you kind of look up and take it all in, if they're still there.' John Cena, Priyanka Chopra at Wimbledon 2025 tennis tournament. The Royal Box seats are by invitation only, and there was quite a list of celebrities on hand for Day 3. 'I was trying not to look today,' Sabalenka said about the boldfaced names, explaining that she might be distracted while competing. 'I was just trying to focus on my game. Later on, I'm going to open the social media (and ask), 'OK, who was there?'' Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
