India A vs England Lions: What happened in the first game?
The first unofficial “Test” between England Lions and India A, at Canterbury, had resulted in a high-scoring draw. After Karun Nair (204) had lifted the tourists from 51-2 to 557, Tom Haines (171), Max Holden (101), and Dan Mousley (113) secured a 30-run lead for the hosts.
With not much time remaining, the visitors opted for batting practice and made 241-2 in 41 overs.n Jaiswal, set to open batting for India in the upcoming Test series against England, made 24 and 64 in the game.
KL-Jaiswal combine for second game
Jaiswal opened with KL Rahul in the second “Test”, at Northampton, after James Rew won the toss and opted to field. The opening pair may be an indication of India’s preference in the Test series.
In the seventh over, Chris Woakes pitched up a ball that Jaiswal tried to flick and missed. As the ball hit Jaiswal on the pad, the fielders appealed, and he was ruled out leg-before. Visibly displeased, he indicated that the ball might have gone down the leg-side before reluctantly walking off the ground, for 17.
Not too long afterwards, Woakes bowled India A captain Abhimanyu Easwaran for 11. When rain stopped play, India A were 41-2 after 11.2 overs, with Rahul (9) and Nair (0) at the crease. Woakes has figures of 6-3-8-2.
