TimesofIndia.com in Leeds: India’s new era in Test cricket under Shubman Gill began with a five-wicket defeat to England at Headingley on Tuesday, and the spotlight has quickly shifted to the workload management of their premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah .
Score: India vs England, 1st Test
England pulled off a record chase of 371 to win the first Test and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy . Despite the loss, India head coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed that Bumrah will feature in only three of the five Tests - a decision taken before the series began and one that will not change due to the scoreline.

"Haven’t decided which two matches Bumrah will play but he will play total of three. We need to manage his workload. Scoreline doesn’t change that… he will play three Tests only," Gambhir said after the match.
India captain Shubman Gill echoed a similar sentiment. "(Which games will Bumrah play?) It’s decided game-by-game. Once we’re close to the next game after a long break, we’ll see," he said at the presentation.
England’s win was historic in more ways than one. They became the first team in over 60,000 first-class games to concede five individual hundreds and still win. Duckett’s 149 and Root’s unbeaten 53 took them to 373/5, chasing a target of 371. Jamie Smith sealed the win with a six.
India, despite scoring 835 runs in the match — including two centuries from Rishabh Pant — were undone by batting collapses of 7 for 41 and 6 for 31 in either innings.
The second Test starts July 2 at Edgbaston, and the decision on Bumrah’s participation will be a closely watched call.
