india vs England Live Updates, 1st Test Day 2: Ravindra Jadeja and KS Bharat are solid in the crease as five-down India keep going against England in the first Test. KL Rahul missed a potential hundred after losing his wicket for 86 runs on the bowling of debutant Tom Hartley. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal too missed out on a ton as he was dismissed at the start of play on Friday by Joe Root. Later, Hartley claimed his maiden Test wicket by dismissing Shubman Gill while Rehan Ahmed removed Shreyas Iyer.
At Lunch, Rahul (55*) and Iyer (34*) put India (222/3) on the top once again as they trail England by just 24 run
The debutant Tom Hartley provided his team with a big wicket as he removed Shubman Gill for 23 runs, breaking a 36-run partnership between No. 3 batter and Rahul. Shreyas Iyer then came out to bat.
At the end of 45 overs, India put 202 runs on the scoreboard with the loss of 3 wickets. Rahul brought up his well-made half-century in 72 balls
After India resumed day two on 119/1, England opened with part-time spinner Joe Root, who dismissed ...
Shreyas Iyer (35) offered a similar story. The right-hander scratched around for a good part of his 63-ball stay and seemed to have weathered the storm, especially against pacer Mark Wood who tested him with a slew of short-pitched deliveries.
But Shreyas let the opportunity to build on slip away when he played a slog sweep of Ahmed to give a simple catch to Hartley at deep mid-wicket and the Mumbaikar will need efforts with more substance to fight for his place when Virat Kohli returns from the third Test.
India made 87 runs in the middle passage of the day, losing two wickets, and it would have been even tougher for India had the England bowlers been more consistent with their lines and lengths in this period.
Though slow in nature, there was enough spin to exploit in the pitch. But apart from part-timer Joe Root, the three first-choice spinners could not really manage to deny scoring avenues for the Indian batters.
