Lunch Day 1 (IND 106/3 after 26 overs)
The pie chart shows that the first session was shared. Rohit looking in good nick, that’s good from India’s perspective. But visitors won’t be disheartened, they got back in the game with two quick wickets. Post the lunch session, it will be crucial for Rahane to stitch a partnership with Rohit and steer the visitors out of trouble.
After 26 overs,India 106/3 ( Rohit Sharma 80 , Ajinkya Rahane 5)
Stone returns to the attack. Squares Rohit up off the second with a delivery that tails away from the right hander. There was an outside edge there but luckily it went away from the fielder and to the boundary. A menacing bouncer to end the over, Rahane did well to evade that one. Six runs off the over. And that’ll be the end of the first session.
FOUR! Streaky! Outside edge and a boundary. Stone squared Rohit up there
After 25 overs,India 100/3 ( Rohit Sharma 75 , Ajinkya Rahane 4)
Leach continues. Runs continue to flow from the blade of Rohit as he collects another boundary with a sweep shot. Extra bounce from Leach off the last delivery, Rohit happy to leave that one outside off.
FOUR! Rohit gets a good stride forward and punches it down the ground.
After 24 overs,India 96/3 ( Rohit Sharma 71 , Ajinkya Rahane 4)
Moeen continues. Rohit looks like he’s batting on a completely different wicket. He collects another four, courtesy a well timed sweep shot in the over. Five runs off the over.
FOUR! Rohit has been really good with the sweep shot today. Another sweep and another boundary for him.
After 23 overs,India 91/3 ( Rohit Sharma 66 , Ajinkya Rahane 4)
Just one run off Leach’s eighth over. England refusing to take the foot off the gas here, looking to continue the momentum after picking up two quick wickets.
After 22 overs,India 90/3 ( Rohit Sharma 65 , Ajinkya Rahane 4)
Moeen continues. Kohli gets out, clean bowled for a duck, as he misses the line of the ball completely. Classic off break spin bowling from Moeen, getting good drift there as well. Rahane joins Rohit at the crease and gets off the mark as he drives a full toss through the covers for a four. Five runs and a wicket off the over.
Most ducks for Indian captains across formats:
13 : Sourav Ganguly

India vs England Live Score, Ind vs Eng 2021 2nd Test at Chennai: The pie chart shows that the first session was shared. Rohit looking in good nick, that’s good from India’s perspective. But visitors won’t be disheartened, they got back in the game with two quick wickets. Post the lunch session, it will be crucial for Rahane to stitch a partnership with Rohit and steer the visitors out of trouble.
Second Test preview: England will field a new pace attack for the second Test with Jofra Archer ruled out due to elbow injury and James Anderson making way for Stuart Broad as part of the rotation policy. England announced their 12-man squad for the second Test match which also features Moeen Ali and Ben Foakes.
Foakes will be donning the wicket-keeping gloves for England in place of Jos Buttler who has flown back to England.
Archer has had an injection in the joint, the England and Wales Cricket Board said on Thursday, and the team expects he will be fit for the third Test in Ahmedabad starting on 24 February.
Archer felt discomfort in his elbow during the 227-run win in the first Test, which was also in Chennai.
“The issue is not related to any previous injury,” the ECB said, “and it is hoped the treatment will allow the condition to settle down quickly.”
India are most likely to include Axar Patel in the second Test, making way for Kuldeep Yadav as well. It will be interesting to see if the hosts make changes in the batting department.
As per a report in the New Indian Express, the track for the second Test is expected to be more friendly to spin. The pitch may start turning from Day 1 itself unlike the one in first Test to throw toss factor completely out of equation. In the first Test, the pitch was batting friendly with Ishant Sharma saying it was like bowling on a road. India struggled to pick wickets on the first two days and by the third day they came out to bat, the pitch had begun to spin. Losing the toss in the first Test caused India a Test match.
The second Test is of huge importance to India. They cannot go to Ahmedabad for last two Tests, trailing in series 0-2. Also, from the standpoint of the World Test Championship, India need a win. They need a 2-1 margin at least to set up final clash with New Zealand at Lord's.
