In the first Test against India at Headingley, England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to bowl first. The decision turned fatal as the Indian batters had a terrific day, posting 359/3. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill scored a century each, while Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten for 65 runs. In the heat, the England bowlers got tired early and that helped the Indian batters settle quickly and pace their innings accordingly. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/tim-southee-england-s-bowling-consultant-defends-ben-stokes-bowling-first-decision-against-india-at-heading-2025-06-21-995642
