India vs England Highlights 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: India 28/0 in 2nd inns after England's 253; lead by 171 runs
India vs England Highlights 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah finished with 6/45 as India bowled England out for 253 to take a 143-run lead.
India vs England Highlights 2nd Test, Day 2: Jasprit Bumrah became the fastest India pacer to take 150 Test wickets and then completed his five-wicket haul to put India in complete control of the second Test match in Visakhapatnam. England were bowled out for 253 after Bumrah finished with 6/45. In their second innings, India were 28/0 at stumps on Day 2. England had got off to a good start after India were all out for 396 but the hosts have turned the tables in the second session. Kuldeep Yadav ended a dangerous-looking opening stand between Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett by dismissing the latter. Crawley then started hitting boundaries for fun before Axar Patel ended his stay on 76 off just 78. Jasprit Bumrah then took over, first dismissing Joe Root for the eighth time in his career and then cleaning up Ollie Pope, who had scored 196 in his last innings, with a vicious reverse-swinging yorker. It has brought England captain Ben Stokes into the middle with Jonny Bairstow. In the last session, Bumrah dismissed Bairstow and then Kuldeep got into the act with two more wickets to put England in real trouble....Read More
Earlier, India were all out for a score of just 396 runs on a placid wicket despite Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring 209 off 290 balls on his own. Jaiswal hardly had any support throughout the Indian innings, with the next best score being Shubman Gill's 34. Jaiswal became the youngest Indian to get to that mark in Test cricket after Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar in what has been a colossal innings that has almost single-handedly taken India close to 400. He started Day 2 on 179 with Ravichandran Ashwin at the other end. While the pair managed to survive the first half an hour of Day 2 and even kept the scoreboard ticking, Ashwin fell to a fiery James Anderson, who alongwith Shoaib Bashir, was England's best bowler all morning.
Jaiswal was the only Indian batter who managed to capitalise on the start he got, with Shubman Gill's 34 off 46 being the next highest score thus far despite a pitch that was as friendly for batters as it gets in India. It may only get more difficult to bat on it as the match wears on but India leaving runs on the field and not scoring as many as they could have is one of the reasons why they ended up losing the first Test in Hyderabad.
It is telling that despite Jaiswal getting to the score that he did eventually on Day 1, none of the stands he had with his teammates went past 100. The best was the third wicket stand with Shreyas Iyer which produced 90 runs in 131 balls. Jaiswal contributed 63 of it in 72 balls and Iyer ended up falling to Tom Hartley on 27 off 59. Shubman Gill seemed far better than he ever has in his recent Test innings but was undone by the genius of James Anderson. Debutant Rajat Patidar looked good as well but fell on 32 to an excellent delivery from Rehan Ahmed. Axar Patel was given added responsibility with the bat, being sent ahead of KS Bharat at No.6 and he threw it away by slashing debutant Shoaib Bashir straight to backward point while on 27. Bharat himself then threw it away by getting caught in the same region off Rehan on 17. The hosts thus gifted the bowling side two wickets in the last half an hour of play on Day 1.
This is despite the fact that India clearly came in with a very different plan from the one with which they walked out for their first innings in Hyderabad last week. Jaiswal was watchful at the start with captain and opening partner Rohit Sharma, as opposed to the wild-eyed flurry of boundaries with which he began the Indian first innings in the first Test. The Indian opening pair scored just 40 runs 17.3 overs before an overly defensive Rohit became Bashir's maiden Test wicket. Gill also bided his time and was starting to shift gears well when he fell to Anderson.
For England, their debutant spinner Shoaib Bashir was the star of the show. He bowled 28 overs, 10 more than the next bowler who had the most overs who was Tom Hartley, and ended with figures of 2/100. Rehan didn't bowl for much of the day but came in for 16 overs towards the end of it and produced two wickets while Hartley dismissed Iyer and thus ended India's best partnership of the innings thus far. Veteran Anderson, who made his debut before Rehan and Bashir were born, showed just how dangerous he is regardless of the conditions. He steamed in for 17 overs, gave just 30 runs and took the wicket of Gill.
Here are some highlights around IND vs ENG 2nd Test Day 2:
- Yashasvi Jaiswal became the third youngest Indian after Sunil Gavaskar and Vinod Kambli to score a double century
- Jaiswal was dismissed for 209 as India were all out for 396
- England got off to a strong start with Zak Crawley scoring 76 off 78
- However, India pulled things back towards the end of the second session taking four wickets in it
- Bumrah took two of those wickets in the form of Joe Root and Ollie Pope in a vicious spell
- After Tea, Bumrah removed Jonny Bairstow with an away-going delivery.
- Kuldeep Yadav got rid of Ben Foakes and Rehan Ahmed.
- Bumrah ended Stokes' threatening innings of 47.
- Bumrah also picked up the last two England wickets to finish with figures of 6/45. England were bowled out for 253.
- India 28/0 at stumps on Day 2, lead England by 171 runs.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Hat-trick of fours
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: A hat-trick of boundaries for Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second innings. Bashir overpitched and got drilled down the ground and then he tried to flatten his trajectory and got cut behind point. The last was just Jaiswal's brilliance. He got in line of the ball and drove it past mid on to collect 12 runs of the over.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Rohit dealing in boundaries
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Driven for four. Overpitched delivery from Shoaib Bashir and Rohit gets a good stride forward to drive it through the covers for his second boundary. This is a good positive start from India.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: India's 2nd innings begins
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: FOUR! Aggression from Rohit Sharma, something we didn't see at all from the Indian captain. He has come out with positive intent here. Anderson just pitched it wide, Rohit threw his hands at it to get it past point. Both Indian openers are off the mark in the first over.
IND vs ENG Live Score: India 5/0 in 2nd inns after 1 over, lead by 148.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: England all out for 253
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: England are all out for 253. It's that man Jasprit Bumrah again. A tailing in fuller-length delivery from around the wicket is too good for Anderson. It hits the back leg, the umpire raises his finger and despite having three reviews in their bank, Anderson doesn't bother. Bumrah finishes with magical figures of 6/45. India have taken a big lead of 143 runs.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Important runs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Jimmy Anderson has decided to have some fun and that has resulted in a boundary and a couple off Kuldeep Yadav. These are important runs for England and frustrating ones for India.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: A single here, a nudge there and England keep adding ones and twos to their total. They now trail India by 150 runs. How many England add?
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Anderson survives
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: That was mighty close but the ultraedge showed a little spike when the ball was close to the bat, enough for the third umpire to stay with the on-field decision of not out. Gee! He was stone dead if it wasn't for that faint little nick. Bumrah will have to wait for his sixth.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Edged and take! All to easy for Jasprit Bumrah. He completes his five-wicket haul. Tom Hartley the last one to go. Bumrah from around the wicket gets it to straighten and Hartley could do nothing about it.

Search for the adjectives, bring out the cricket glossary and you would still fall short from describing this from Bumrah. Stokes can't believe it. He drops his bat and then picks it up to walk back in disbelief. Fourth wicket for Bumrah in this match which is also his 150th in Test cricket.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Mukesh continues to leak runs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Mukesh Kumar continues to be worry for India. Rohit threw him the ball hoping for control. He bowled four good deliveries but leaked seven runs in his last two balls. Mukesh has conceded 40 runs in his 5 oveers now.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Hartley joins the party
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: SIX! Good hit from Hartley. An overpitched delivery from Kuldeep and Hartley is never shy from going airial. This is good from England. They won't stop playing their shots.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 214/7 after 47 overs, trail India by 182 runs.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Stokes goes big
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: SIX! He's on. He's officially on. We've seen this side of Ben Stokes so many times in different formats. He makes room, Ashwin tries to follow him but the England captain brings out the slog sweep to hit a clean six.
200 up for England with that hit
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Stokes lucky
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: DROPPED? It was a really hard chance. Rohit got finger tips to it but it came sow quickly at hi that there was nothing really he could have done. Kuldeep got this one to bounce more, Stokes went on the backfoot to cut it and got an outside edge that flew between the keeper and first slip.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 196/7 after 45 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Stokes gets into the act
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: FOUR! Not the cleanest of strikes but Stokes makes his intentions clear. He is now ready to switch gears. Slightly short from Kuldeep, the ball kept a tad low but Stokes was good enough to get it over the in-field and into the boundary.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Kuldeep strikes again
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: OUT! A soft dismissal! It was a short delivery from Kuldeep, it was there to be hit but Rehan Ahmed didn't get the desired connection and Shubman Gill at mid wicket takes a brilliant catch.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Rehan Ahmed arrives
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Oh hello! Rehan Ahmed with the most beautiful straight drive you will ever see and that too off a Jasprit Bumrah who has got his tail up. Ahmed had played a good knock even in Hyderabad, India shoulnd't be breathing easy here.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Kuldeep gets Foakes
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: BOWLED! It's Kuldeep Yadav this time. Ben Foakes was playing fort the turn but there was none. It went through with the arm and hit the off stump. Kuldeep is up in the air and since that wicket of Crawley, it has been all India at the moment.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 172/6 after 38.2 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Bumrah sensing blood
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: A master is at work here. You sense a wicket everytime Bumrah runs in. Foakes somehow manages to get some bat on that one to guide it towards the fine leg boundary but nobody cares about that. The reason? The next ball is an outside edge that nearly carries to the second slip.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 172/5 after 38 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: EDGED AND GONE! Bumrah again!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: England can't handle him at the moment. Bairstow drawn far outside off, outside edge and Gill takes the catch at first slip. Bairstow was staying inside the line of the deliveries, possibly to avoid being LBW by an inswinger. So Bumrah sends in a wide length ball out of nowhere, Bairstow pushes at it in typical Bazball fashion but there is that hint of movement away from him. Edge and slip.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Maiden to start off with
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Stokes seems to be doing his thing where he bides his time as much as possible till he has got nothing but the tail left to bat with. Now Stokes was dismissed by Ashwin in the last Test but Rohit is not bringing the veteran spinner on. Instead Kuldeep is bowling the second over of the session.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: The players are back
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: There is a buzz around the ground now. The ball is reverse swinging and Jasprit Bumrah has it in his hands. Jonny Bairstow facing up with Ben Stokes at the other end.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Feast your eyes on this
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Kevin Pietersen points out in the Tea time show that Ollie Pope would have probably thought that this delivery was something he could leave in the first instance that he saw the ball leave Bumrah's hands. That is because the trajectory of that ball had started from way outside off. But then within a split second, he would have realised that this is coming straight for the bottom of his middle stump and by the time he would've been able to complete that thought, the ball had torpedoed past him. Extraordinary stuff.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: TEA! England 155/4
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Ben Stokes slog sweeps the last ball of the over from Kuldeep to the boundary. He ends on five off 10, Bairstow at the other end on 24 off 28. Well England did score at over four runs an over but this session belongs to India simply because of the four wickets that they took. That delivery from Bumrah to get Pope is one you are going to see again and again for a number of years to come.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 155/4 in 33 overs, trail by 241
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Bumrah is off the ground
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Well he can't go on forever and so it seems Mukesh Kumar has replaced Bumrah. England have an experienced pair in the middle now in Jonny Bairstow and captain Ben Stokes.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 143/4 in 31 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: OUT! BUMRAH WITH A YORKER FROM HELL!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Pope had scored 196 in his last innings, Bumrah has now sent him back for 23 with the stumps behind him so messed up that he might as well have not been standing there. It just doesn't matter what pitch he is bowling on and what country he is bowling in when it comes to these. Fifth ball of the 28th is a vicious reverse swinging yorker, Pope hadn't even got his bat fully down when the ball speared into middle stump and two of those poles have been uprooted.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: GONE! Bumrah gets Root again!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: EDGED AND GONE! Root is livid but not sure if there is much he could have done about that. Reverse swing there, Joe Root dangles his bat out and audibly moans in frustration as soon as the ball takes his outside edge. A straightforward catch there for Shubman Gill. That is the eighth time Bumrah has dismissed Root and India seem to have turned the momentum around here.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Axar probing now
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: It looks like the ball is gripping and this is when Axar can be dangerous. He beats Joe Root's outside edge off the fifth ball of the 25th over and then a half-hearted appeal for LBW off the last. India have pulled things back a bit here. Bumrah continuing from the other end, interesting contest on between him and Joe Root.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: England 123/2 in 25 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: OUT! Axar gets the breakthrough!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Instant impact from Axar Patel in his very first over of the match and that is a brilliant catch by Shreyas Iyer as well. The dangerman Zak Crawley is gone. Crawley beaten by the bounce, he sends it high over backward point. Iyer sprints back and then takes the catch as the ball descends over his shoulder. An extremely difficult catch and Iyer makes no mistake there.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: An hour done in the second session
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: And it has been one-way traffic. This match is not going well at all for India. England have raced to within 286 runs of India's total now with Crawley on 72 off 75 and Pope on 17 off 40. Mukesh came back, possibly for one over, before that drinks break and Ashwin has looked ineffective. Will Rohit be tossing the ball now to Axar Patel? We'll see.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 110/1 in 22 overs, trail by 286 runs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: FOUR! Crawley cruising along
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: That is a beautiful shot from Crawley, although it wasn't that great a delivery from Ashwin. He dropped it short around the wicket, Crawley punches it off the backfoot past cover. Crawley has cruised to 72 off as many, Pope on 12 off 31.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 105/1 in 20 overs, trail by 291.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Crawley looking good
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Zak Crawley has raced to 62 off 66, Pope on 12 off 31 as Ashwin has a long conversation with Rohit Sharma. Ashwin then takes the ball to the umpire and asks if it can be checked. Marais Erasmus puts it through his ring, it is good enough and Ashwin gets ready to bowl the 20th.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 95/1, trail by 301 runs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: 16 overs gone
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: A strange period of play now. Pope and Crawley are not doing a very good job of reading Ashwin or Jadeja but then they are managing to hit a boundary every chance they get. The bounce on this pitch has meant that the England batters have not been able to use their sweeps as well as they did in Hyderabad.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 81/1 in 16 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: SIX! 50 up for Crawley
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Fourth ball of the 13th from Kuldeep, Crawley slog sweeps it over midwicket. He had hit a four off the second ball and so England counter-attacking against Kuldeep after he got that wicket in the previous. over. Two dots after that and Crawley ends the over on 50 off 54 balls, Pope at the other end on one off seven balls.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 72/1 in 13 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: OUT! Kuldeep gets the breakthrough!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Fantastic bowling from Kuldeep. It dips dramatically on Duckett and so he never gets to the pitch of the ball, the turn gets the ball to take the shoulder of the bat and Patidar takes a sharp catch at silly point.
Duckett c Patidar b Kuldeep Yadav 21 (17)
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 59/1 in 10.2 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: FOUR! Nothing going India's way
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Oh that is an opportunity created by Ashwin but it darts off Crawley's inside edge and to the right of the leg slip to the boundary.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: FOUR! 16 runs off that over from Bumrah!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Crawley just oozing class. He pushes the last ball of that over down the ground, left of mid-on and the ball runs away to the boundary. Crawley has reached 34 off 41, Duckett on 20 off 13. All those Indian batters who couldn't capitalise, which is everyone except Jaiswal, would be kicking themselves at the moment.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 54/0 in 9 overs, trail by 342 runs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: HAT-TRICK OF FOURS! 50 up for England
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Not a good start for India at all in this second session. Crawley first pulls Bumrah with disdain off the first ball of the ninth, then an edge that flies wide of second slip and then Crawley pushes the third ball back where it came from to the boundary. There is nothing in this pitch for the fast bowler here.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: DROPPED!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: A difficult chance but one might argue that you need to hold on to those in Test matches of such high stakes. Crawley charges at Ashwin last ball of the eighth and he fails to keep it down but it is out of reach for Gill, who puts in a dive to his left at short midwicket. It is quite a stunning effort but even that wasn't enough.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 38/0 in 8 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Ashwin from the other end
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Just two runs off the first two balls of that over from Bumrah and then nothing. Ashwin comes in from the other end.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 34/0 in 7 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: The 2nd session is underway!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Bumrah starting the second session for India. Crawley is on strike, he has scored 15 in 28, Ben Duckett on 17 off 8 at the other end.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Milestones coming up for Ashwin and Bumrah
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: And India would be hoping that one of them gets closer to those milestones soon in the second session as they cannot allow this opening stand to go on for even the first half an hour. Ashwin is four wickets away from 500 Test wickets while Bumrah is four away from 150.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Minutes away from resumption
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: The pacers are slowly making their way out. Mukesh, in fact, is already out there, sending a few deliveries down, Bumrah slowly makes his way out as well.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: The first session
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: It turned out to be a bit of a match within the match really. James Anderson bowled nine overs on the trot and finished off any chances of India reaching 400. However, there was also a crowning for a young India batter as he raised a perfectly paced 200. In fact, the only moment where he ended up playing a rash shot throughout his 290-ball innings was arguably when he miscued that attempted big shot off Anderson and fell. The fact that India scored just 396 despite their opener scoring 209 shows just how disappointing the rest of the batters were in that innings. In reply, Crawley and Duckett did what they do all the time. They have gotten England off to a flier and the visitors are already 32/0 in 6 overs at Lunch, trailing India by 364 runs.
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: LUNCH! England 32/0
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: With the openers surviving this session and setting a scoring rate of nearly 5 and a half, it is safe to say that England have taken this session. Doesn't mean they are ahead in this match by any stretch of imagination though and early wickets will be top of the menu for India when they come back for the second session. Ben Duckett has smashed 17 in eight balls, Crawley has scored 15 in 28.

India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Ashwin to bowl the last over of the session
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Kuldeep goes through his over quickly and so India get a chance to squeeze one more over. Ravichandran Ashwin is bowling it. Crawley on strike, he is on 14 off 22. Duckett on 17 off 8.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 31/0 in 5 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: FOUR! England galloping along
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: 12 runs in that over from Mukesh, all from fours amd all from Duckett. This is what the England openers did in the first innings of the first Test as well when India gave Bumrah and Siraj much of the first 10 overs. But this time, they have taken off Bumrah form the fifth and Kuldeep Yadav to bowl the first over of spin. This should also be the last over before Lunch. Duckett on 17 off 8, Crawley on 11 off 16.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 28/0 in 4 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: FOUR!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Crawley knows all about this one, unlike Duckett with the first ball. Mukesh goes too straight fourth ball and Crawley whips that through midwicket. Just a run off the rest of the over and Crawley is on five off 10, Duckett on five off two.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 10/0 in 2 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: FOUR!
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: Some good luck for Duckett. Bumrah started things off with a maiden but Mukesh ends up conceding four runs off his first delivery. The ball straightened a little, Duckett miscues his pull and nearly chops on. The ball rolls behind to the boundary.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 4/0 in 1.1 overs
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: The players return
India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Day 2, IND vs ENG: All right then, Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the first over for India. Zak Crawley facing up with Ben Duckett at the other end. Can Bumrah and Mukesh Kumar extract whatever it is that Anderson was getting off this pitch is the important question to consider in the early stages of this innings.
