Jasprit Bumrah injury update from India after England win first Test
Shubman Gill's side appeared to be in the driving seat at Headingley after posting 471 and then leaving England 371 to win in the fourth innings.
But India's bowlers were largely ineffective on day five and England reached the target with five wickets to spare.
England's second highest run-chase was inspired by Ben Duckett's brilliant 149 and contributions from Zak Crawley, Joe Root, Jamie Smith and Ben Stokes.
Bumrah, arguably the best bowler in the world, enjoyed a superb first-half to the Test, taking 5-83 in England's first innings, but then went wicket-less in the second.
The 31-year-old, who has been recovering from a recent back injury, spent some of the final day off the field and was not given the new ball when England were heading to victory.
This sparked concern over Bumrah's fitness and availability for the second Test, which starts next Wednesday at Edgbaston, but India insist he 'should be fine' to play.
It was never the plan for Bumrah to play all five Tests but India will be reluctant to be without him as England seek to open up a commanding 2-0 lead in Birmingham next week. More Trending
'He is fine,' Gill told BBC's Test Match Special. 'We will see closer to the next Test, but he should be fine.'
Speaking during the post-match presentation, Gill was asked about India's plan for Bumrah and said: 'It's more game by game.
'There's a good break after this Test match so once we're close to the match, we'll see.'

Novak Djokovic explains worrying medical timeout in Wimbledon opener
Novak Djokovic called for the physio and doctor at Wimbledon (Picture: BBC) Novak Djokovic has lifted the lid on his worrying scare after requesting a medical timeout during his first-round Wimbledon win. The seven-time champion looked set to breeze into the second round after winning the first set of his tournament 6-1 against an overawed Alexandre Muller. Djokovic was also in control for large parts of the second set but Muller forced a tie-break and then stunned the tennis icon to draw level. In worrying scenes for those hoping to see Djokovic win a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, the physio and doctor were called by the Serbian midway through the third set. Djokovic appeared to be given pain relief and was stretching out while breathing deeply as France's Muller also asked for a medical timeout. It was the 38-year-old who emerged stronger from the pause in play, winning the next two sets 6-2 to book his place in the second round, where he will meet Great Britain's Dan Evans. Djokovic was in discomfort during his match (Picture: BBC) The seven-time champion requested a medical timeout (Picture: Getty) 'To be quite frank I went from feeling my absolute best to my absolute worst for 45 minutes,' Djokovic said in his on-court interview. 'Whether it was a stomach bug or something else, I don't know. I struggled with that but the energy kicked back after some miracle pills from the doctors.' Asked whether he ever feared he would be forced to retire, Djokovic added: 'No, no. I honestly wasn't thinking about that as an option. 'I knew something was off with the stomach so I just waited for it to calm down and that's what happened.'
