India will not change their plans to rest Jasprit Bumrah for two of the Tests against England, despite losing the first of the series on Tuesday.

India suffered a five-wicket defeat to England in the first Test, with the hosts successfully chasing down the 371-run target in their second innings.

Bumrah was India's standout bowler at Headingley, finishing with 5-83 in the first innings, though he could not help halt England's charge on the final day.

In what was just his 46th Test, Bumrah picked up his 14th five-wicket haul, with his figures seeing him take 150 Test wickets against SENA countries, becoming the first Asian bowler to achieve that impressive feat. 

He also became the first Indian bowler to record his third five-wicket haul in men's Tests in England, while also equalling Ravichandran Ashwin (11 in 78 innings) for the most fifers in the World Test Championship, doing so in just 67 innings. 

In addition, Bumrah equalled Kapil Dev (12) for the most Test five-wicket hauls among Indian bowlers in away Tests. The tally is also the highest by any pacer in the 21st century.

Bumrah has suffered with a back injury this year, though, forcing him to miss the Champions Trophy and the start of the 2025 Indian Premier League season.

As such, it was decided before the series that Bumrah would only play in three of the Tests against England, and coach Gautam Gambhir insisted they would not go back on that plan.

"We won't change it," said Gambhir. "For us to manage his workload is more important. There is a lot of cricket going forward.

"Let's see how his body turns up. We haven't decided which two other matches he is going play."

ENGLAND WIN!

England, meanwhile, became the first team in first-class history to win a match in which they conceded five centuries to the other team, helped by some ultra-consistent batting as the hosts only posted three single-figure scores, compared to 11 for India.

Their chase in the second innings got off to an incredible start, with Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley putting on a 126-run stand for England's first wicket.

Duckett scored 149 off 170 deliveries, helping England to achieve their second-highest chase in Test cricket, and captain Ben Stokes lauded his side's openers.

"We've got some good memories here over the last few years, and this is another one to add to it," Stokes told Sky Sports Cricket.

"It was an awesome Test match to be part of, going down to the last hour on day five and chasing a big total. Pretty special start to the series.

"Duckett was unbelievable. The pressure of the fourth innings is tough, and batting is hard enough, especially in England. So that partnership between Zak and Duckett was just incredible; they set us up brilliantly.

"Those two complement each other so well. Duckett has got the big score that contributed towards us winning this game, but I thought the way Crawley was able to stay composed and stay in the moment was also very important to this win."

The second Test begins on July 2 at Edgbaston, with England leading the series 1-0.
