Rishabh Pant's Injury Update: Batting Practice at Lord's

Rishabh Pant's Condition

Rishabh Pant, India's deputy captain, left the field during play and did not return. His spot was taken by Dhruv Jurel, who had been ready with his gloves since the start of the day. After England concluded their innings at 387 runs, it was India's turn to bat. Pant was seen donning his pads and heading to the nets for a brief practice session. If he receives a clean bill of health from the medical team, fans may see him back in action at Lord's for the third match against England.

Details on Pant's Injury

During the second session of the first day, Rishabh Pant sustained a significant injury to his index finger. Medical personnel quickly attended to him after the incident occurred in the 34th over of England's innings. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah bowled a delivery down the leg side, prompting Pant to dive left in an attempt to block it. Although he managed to get his glove on the ball, he was unable to prevent it from getting past him, resulting in an injury that left him in visible pain. Despite receiving initial treatment on the field, Pant was unable to continue and left after feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

England's Innings Summary

England finished their innings at 387 runs, with Bumrah taking five wickets. Akash Deep, who was a standout performer in the previous match, did not take any wickets this time. Both Mohammad Siraj and Nitish Kumar Reddy claimed two wickets each, while Ravindra Jadeja added one to his tally. Joe Root scored a century, and Brydon Carse along with Jamie Smith contributed with half-centuries. England's captain Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope both scored 44 runs. India faced an early setback, losing their first wicket when Jofra Archer dismissed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal on just the third ball of his opening over.
