The left-arm debutant spinner Tom Hartley spun India's batters out, claiming an impressive 7/62 and concluding the Test with a total of 9/193. Notably, the performance is now the best match figure for an England spinner on Test debut since 1945. Hartley's nine-wicket haul in the first Test also matched the joint-most since former English spinner Robert Berry's 9/116 against West Indies in Manchester in 1950.Hartley's remarkable performance underlined his impact and added a new chapter to England's spin-bowling legacy in Test cricket.
