In the fifth and last Day of the first Test between India and England, rain came as a blessing in disguise for the Shubman Gill-led side as the hosts were racing towards a comfortable win. The light drizzle got heavier after an hour of play post Lunch and the umpires called for Lunch.

After a twenty minute delay, the play resumed and as expected India draw the first blood. Prasidh Krishna got better of Zak Crawley and it again put the match in balance. Meanwhile, the BCCI took to twitter to update fans about the revised session timings.
