In Pics: Ton-up Pant turns the tables on England on Day 1

Rishabh Pant gave Ben Stokes' England a taste of their own medicine with a superb counter-attacking century as India recovered from a top-order collapse to 338/7 at stumps on Friday's opening day of the Covid-delayed fifth Test. (Getty Images)

James Anderson and Matthew Potts reduced India to 98/5 at Edgbaston after Stokes won the toss under overcast skies before Pant responded with a brilliant 146 off just 111 balls. (Getty Images)

Pant hit 19 fours and four sixes while dominating a partnership of 222 with Ravindra Jadeja, (83*) at stumps. (Getty Images)

Pant was especially severe on Jack Leach, swinging himself off his feet while slogging a four and later driving the left-arm spinner one-handed for six. (Getty Images)

Leach, fresh from a 10-wicket haul and the player award in the third Test against New Zealand, conceded an expensive 71 runs in nine wicketless overs. (AP Photo)

Part-time off-spinner Joe Root succeeded where the frontline bowlers had failed when Pant edged a drive to Zak Crawley at slip. (Getty Images)

It was the end of a double century partnership that lasted a mere 39 overs, with Pant's hundred his fifth in 31 Tests and third against England. (Getty Images)

Matthew Potts, who only made his international debut against New Zealand, had earlier added to his growing reputation by removing Virat Kohli for 11. (Getty Images)
