rishabh pant century
Last modified on Sat 6 Mar 2021 04.36 GMT. Brilliant innings leads India fightback to lead of 89 runsEngland 205 all out; India 294-7 at stumps on second day India’s Rishabh Pant celebrates scoring a century during the second day of the fourth Test against England. Pant’s top-class innings helped India take the lead in the final hour of the day. The 20-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman, who is playing his third Test, brought up his century by smashing a six of Adil Rashid’s delivery. The efforts of Stokes and Anderson were gargantuan but, in little more than an hour after tea, the brilliance of Pant had all but undone their good work. The pair had come together at 146 for six and in the space of 26 overs laid waste to an England attack relying on three men – Stokes, Anderson and Jack Leach – and trying to mask the shortcomings of the recalled Dom Bess. Kohli’s men must avoid defeat to make the World Test Championship final in June but now appear well placed to book their place in style and prevent Australia from meeting New Zealand. Pant was having none of it, however, and through his flashing blade has likely trashed the hopes of both Ashes rivals in the space of one incredible innings. Even putting aside his two wickets - a snorter to Virat Kohli that reared up to take the edge and a big inswinger to get rid of Rohit - he was excellent. Follow text commentary from day three of the fourth Test between India and England in Ahmedabad on skysports.com and the Sky Sports app from 3.50am on Saturday. England The swashbuckling left-handed wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant smashed his first Test century on his home soil after having a century to his name, one each in England and Australia. With only 205 on the board, discipline was the name of the game and in Jimmy Anderson, England had the perfect man to lead the way. India had a small lead when it was taken but 10 good overs with a shiny, hard new ball could go a long way to ensuring that lead stayed manageable. Pant made 101 runs on just 118 balls with a strike rate of 85. India lead by 54. This was Pant’s second Test century in 19 Tests he has played so far. It is a question that is sure to be playing on the minds of the England players as, having enjoyed much the better of the first two sessions on day two in the fourth Test against India, they walked off at the close dejected and requiring a monumental effort to avoid a third straight defeat. India’s Rishabh Pant celebrates scoring a century during the second day of the fourth Test against England. The sight of him charging in ball after ball, over after over, making things happen almost through sheer force of will brought back memories of his lung-busting spell at Headingley in 2019 to set up that innings - only this time he was doing it in sweltering Indian heat. The tourists themselves had benefitted from an equally marginal decision earlier in the session when Rohit Sharma was given out lbw to Ben Stokes - on that occasion umpire's call on both impact and hitting the wicket went in England's favour. A smart catch at slip also accounted for Ajinkya Rahane on 27, while overall he was ever-willing for the hamstrung Joe Root, sending down more overs of heft than he had previously hitherto been able to muster all series. And yet by tea India had been pegged back to 153 for six through the sheer bloodymindedness of Stokes. A staggering innings by Rishabh Pant - he attacked 34 per cent of his deliveries in that innings, the lowest for any of his three Test centuries. But by the time Rishabh Pant was out, Team India had taken a 54-run lead against England out of a difficult situation. It was also the highest false shot percentage for his Test tons - but he scored the quickest, at 5.1rpo. Rishabh Pant scored a stunning century to put India in a dominant position in the fourth Test against England and establish himself as one of the best players in world cricket. He was 55 off 91 and gets to 100 just 24 balls later, taking the match away from England in the process. Ben Stokes put in a Herculean shift in the heat of Ahmedabad but a remarkable Rishabh Pant century and the folly of England’s imbalanced attack left India in full control after day two of the fourth Test. Rishabh Pant moved around from city to city in his early teens to make a name for himself. Their 205 all out was light, so too a bowling attack deliberately weakened to shore up the batting. But here he was, doing it and making it look easy as the runs flowed. With Ashwin responding to some rough treatment from Stokes by tamely clipping Leach to short midwicket on 13, England somehow found themselves in the ascendancy. Rishabh got his previous centuries against England (114) at The Oval in 2018 and a 159* against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2019. India’s Rishabh Pant celebrates his maiden century. England’s vice-captain had overcome the 38C heat and a stomach bug to deliver a herculean performance with the ball, claiming the key wickets of Virat Kohli for a duck and Rohit Sharma for a patient 49.

Bess, who had struggled even as the other bowlers excelled, missed out on a confidence-boosting wicket while Pant survived and went on to score a brilliant hundred. With Bess looking shorn of confidence and unable to provide the sort of control required, though, they all racked up a lot of overs in gruelling conditions and some kind of drop off was always likely.

No one could fault the effort of that trio as England reduced India to 80-4 and 146-6. His treatment of Anderson and the second new ball showed none of the earlier respect afforded by India’s senior batsmen, not least a remarkable reverse lap four over the slip cordon. "Pant showed he can play in different ways and play the situation," Nasser Hussain told Sky Sports. He smashed 13 fours and 2 sixes. On another day it might have been Stokes returning for England press duties after stumps, rather than the now regular sight of spin coach-cum-shock-absorber Jeetan Patel, with the all-rounder having produced his best performance with the ball on tour.

The 23-year-old left-hander has established himself as one of the most exciting, explosive batsmen on the planet but this innings was built on patience, sticking it out through the afternoon session as England pushed for wickets, and then cashing in later on.
