India's young opener, Yashasvi Jaiswal, countered England's aggressive tactics with a commanding half-century, thus propelling India into the driver's seat in the ongoing Test match between the two nations.

English captain Ben Stokes opted to bat first after winning the toss in Hyderabad with the intent to unleash carnage with bazball intent. However, the spin trio of Ashwin, Jadeja, and Axar wreaked havoc with the ball. The home side used the conditions to their advantage and deceived the Englishmen.

Ashwin and Jadeja picked up three wickets each as Axar and Jasprit Bumrah removed the tail to end England's first inning before the end of Day 1.

However, the challenge of surviving the final hour of the play seemed like a steep task given the conditions and England's bowling unit, which consists of four full-time spinners.

Regardless, a young Yashasvi Jaiswal was least bothered by the quality of the opposition. He backed himself up and played his shots without any fear or hesitancy.

Meanwhile, skipper Rohit Sharma played the anchor's role on the other end and guided Jaiswal as he took on the English bowlers.

Jaiswal targeted debutant Tom Hartley in particular, as he smoked two sixes in the latter's first over of the initial spell. The long hits filled him with utmost confidence as the young opener took on Jack Leach, and in just the 12th over of the second innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal reached his half-century in just 47 balls with an impressive pull shot off Tom Hartley.

As the kid soaked up the applause, the skipper from the other end lauded Jaiswal's efforts and motivated him to convert the extraordinary start into a big score.

As of this writing, the opening batter is still going strong with a new partner, Shubman Gill. The duo seems likely to survive the day without any hiccups, thus guiding India to the driver's seat at the end of play.
