Jamie Overton has decided to take an indefinite break from first-class cricket to focus on white-ball formats. The 31-year-old, who made his Test debut in 2022, had to wait three years for his second red-ball appearance, returning in the fifth Test against India during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in July–August.

England captain Ben Stokes dismissed the talk about Jasprit Bumrah being available for only three of the five Tests as "India's problem" and said he expects the "passionate" visitors to put up a tough fight in the second Test, regardless of their team selection.

India faced a defeat against England in the first Test at Headingley. Kiran More emphasized the importance of fielding. He noted dropped catches proved costly. England chased down 371 runs. Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored centuries in the first innings. More believes the team is in transition. He asks for time and support for the new players.
