Milestone
India A’s middle order gained valuable runs from Karun Nair, Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Sarfaraz Khan, showing depth beyond Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. For England Lions, Tom Haines stood out with the bat, while Chris Woakes’ form virtually guarantees him a spot in the first Test.
The big question for India’s senior side is who will slot in at No. 4 – Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan or Karun Nair? It seems all but certain that Jaiswal and Rahul will continue their opening partnership. The countdown is on for the first Test between England and India all the way from the iconic Headingley in Leeds, starting 20 June.

9:56 PM IST & 5:26 PM Local Time: And there it is! The inevitable conclusion. India A skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran strolls across to James Rew, and the two captains share a handshake. The second unofficial Test ends in a draw, bringing this hard-fought contest to a close.
So here comes the entire recap of the Test match 👇
James Rew won the toss and elected to field, inviting India A to bat first. The visitors steadied themselves through the early exchanges before KL Rahul (116) took charge, crafting a patient and polished century that anchored the innings. He was ably supported by Dhruv Jurel (52) and Karun Nair (40), both of whom applied themselves well against a probing new-ball attack. India A stretched the contest into the morning of Day 2, eventually being dismissed for 348, with Chris Woakes (3/60) leading the England Lions’ bowling effort.
In reply, the England Lions began positively, with openers Tom Haines and Emilio Gay setting a solid platform. The duo negotiated the movement from Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj before Haines fell for 54. Gay carried on with assured stroke play, finishing on 71, while Jordan Cox added 45 lower down the order. Despite their contributions, England were bundled out for 327 on Day 3, as Khaleel’s four-wicket haul (4/70) kept India A firmly in control.
When India A resumed, they carried a slender 21-run lead, and once again KL Rahul extended his fine form with a composed fifty. Skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran chipped in with a well-paced 80, but it was the lower order who really turned the screw. Tanush Kotian and Anshul Kamboj combined for a colossal 149-run stand for the eighth wicket—Kotian unbeaten on 90 and Kamboj not out on 51—propelling India A to a massive 438-run advantage by tea on Day 4.
During the interval, India A finally declared, signaling their intent to bowl England out and force a result. Tushar Deshpande quickly struck, and Kamboj claimed two wickets in as many overs, reducing the hosts to 32/3 in the final session. However, with only 28 overs left in the day's play, the captains agreed to shake hands, bringing this hard-fought contest to a draw. Had the declaration come earlier, a result might have been on the cards.
