Rain Disrupts Thrilling Test Battle: India vs. England

In a dramatic turn of events on Tuesday, rain brought play to a halt during the second session of the fifth day's opening Test between India and England. The hosts, England, were making steady progress, reaching 181 without losing a wicket, eyeing a challenging target of 371.

England's openers, Ben Duckett, with an unbeaten 105, and Zak Crawley, on 59, played crucial roles in positioning the team favorably against the home team. Both players made the most of their chances, benefiting from missed opportunities by India's fielders.

Earlier in the game, a crucial opportunity was missed when Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped Duckett on 98, and Jasprit Bumrah failed to hold onto a difficult catch offered by Crawley. As the tension builds, the weather remains a key player in this match's outcome.
