India are well and truly in control after Day 1, with the home side so far successfully counteracting the visitors’ famed ‘Bazball’ approach.

India were 119-1 at stumps in Hyderabad and trailing England by 127 runs, with skipper Rohit Sharma (24) the sole wicket.

Jaiswal, on 76, and Shubman Gill, on 14, were batting at close of play.

While much of the focus entering the series was how England’s ‘Bazball’ approach would fare on the Indian wickets, it was the home side who created their own version of ‘Jaisball’, with the intent even surprising the England side.

Jaiswal has been labelled the next big thing of Indian cricket, and it’s easy to see why. In just his third Test match, he walloped the England bowlers all around the ground on his way to an unbeaten 76 off just 70 balls.

Jaiswal reached his fifty in 47 balls with a boundary off English debutant spinner Tom Hartley, whose bruising introduction to Test cricket saw him leak 63 runs from nine overs.

The start of India’s innings witnessed a security breach when a fan barged onto the pitch to touch Rohit’s feet before being hauled away by security.

Rohit walked back dejected after mistiming a shot off left-arm spinner Jack Leach, Stokes completing the catch in the deep.

But Jaiswal stood firm with Gill for company to keep India odds-on for a first-innings lead.

Earlier, England won the toss and chose to bat first. Stokes top-scored with 70 after the visitors opted to bat first, sticking to their ultra-attacking ‘Bazball’ strategy to counter India’s renowned home-turf spin prowess.

He also put together key lower-order stands with Hartley (23) and Mark Wood (11) before he was finally bowled by paceman Jasprit Bumrah after tea in the final wicket of the innings, in a delivery which bemused the England skipper.

Stokes completely misread the ball, which jagged sharply off the pitch to the right and crashing into the stumps.

Stokes put his hands up and shrugged in disbelief as Bumrah gave him the wry smile on the way past.

England had started the day briskly, with Ben Duckett (35) and Zak Crawley (20) putting on an opening stand of 55, with regular boundaries off Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.

England reached 41-0 in eight overs before spin was introduced, with Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin eventually taking three apiece.

Duckett fell lbw in the next over to Ashwin, who broke a breezy opening stand. Crawley gifted Ashwin a second wicket when the tall opener hit the ball to mid-off and Siraj took a low catch.

Jonny Bairstow hit 37 in a partnership of 61 with Joe Root, who made 29. Left-arm spinner Axar Patel bowled Bairstow soon after lunch to roaring cheers from the home crowd.

Jadeja got Root caught at short fine-leg after the veteran batsman mistimed a sweep and trudged back to the pavilion.
