According to ESPN Cricinfo, no team had won a test match at Old Trafford after choosing to bowl first.
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Spinner Liam Dawson claimed his first test wicket in eight years after making his England return against India on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old Dawson was recalled for the fourth test after Shoaib Bashir was ruled out with a broken finger and was pivotal in an intense second session, which saw England take three of its four wickets on the opening day at Old Trafford.
“It was nice to contribute to the team early on. I’ve said to a few people at the age I’m at, I probably thought that test cricket was gone,” Dawson said. “To be back involved is really cool. I’ve got to try to enjoy each moment I get.”
“To get that wicket was a nice relief coming back into it. It’s one wicket. I’ve done nothing special,” he added.
Ben Stokes gambled by opting to bowl after winning the toss.
According to ESPN Cricinfo, no team had won a test match at Old Trafford after choosing to bowl first.
“There’s pretty decent overhead conditions for bowling so that’s what we’re going to do,” Stokes said after India had lost the toss for the 14th time in a row in an international match.
But that decision began to look questionable as Rahul and Jaiswal withstood England’s pressure before lunch.
Jaiswal’s innings included his 1,000th run against England before he eventually fell to Dawson and India went to tea at 149-3.
