Rain came to India’s rescue on Day 5 of the first Test between India and England at Headingley, as the hosts were well on course for a record chase of 371. After lunch, England’s opening pair of Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley continued to pile on the runs, but just as the momentum seemed firmly with the home side, rain arrived — bringing much-needed relief to the Indians and forcing the umpires to temporarily halt play.
The drizzle had started lightly during the interval but intensified enough for the covers to be brought back on. However, after a 20-minute delay, play resumed, and India wasted no time in striking back.
Prasidh Krishna, who had been expensive earlier, broke the 181-run opening stand by dismissing Crawley for 65. The breakthrough injected new life into the contest and shifted the balance of the match.
In the wake of the rain delay, the BCCI announced revised session timings via social media, confirming that no overs were lost and that play would be extended by 20 minutes. According to the new schedule, tea would be taken at 4:30 PM local time (9:00 PM IST), and the final session would now run until 6:20 PM local time (10:50 PM IST).

The third and final session was planned from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM local time (8:30 PM to 10:30 PM IST), allowing for a full day of play barring weather interruptions.
