IND vs ENG, 2nd Test, Day 2 Live Score: Rohit Sharma Going Strong But Shubman Gill Departs
India vs England Test Live Cricket Score: Ravichandran Ashwin took a five-wicket haul as England folded for 134 runs in the first innings, handing India a lead of 195 runs.
Ravichandran Ashwin took a five-wicket haul as England folded for 134 runs in the first innings, handing India a lead of 195 runs. Ashwin rattled Stuart Broad's timber in the final session to complete the 29th five-wicket haul of his Test career. Ashwin had picked two wickets each in the first two sessions. Ashwin accounted for the dismissals of three top-order batsmen, including Ben Stokes and Dom Sibley. He cleaned up Ben Stokes in the middle session with a beauty to leave England in deep trouble, with half of their batsmen back in the hut with just 52 runs on the board. Ollie Pope and Ben Foakes combined in the middle and stopped Indian spinners from making further inroads. Virat Kohli then turned to Mohammed Siraj and he delivered immediately dismissing Ollie Pope for 22 runs on his first ball of the match. Pope tried to flick the delivery off his pads but Rishabh Pant pulled off a one-handed stunner diving to his left to end Pope's fighting innings. With only few minutes left in Tea, Axar and Ashwin took two more wickets in quick succession to leave England reeling at 106/8 at Tea on the second day. In the morning session, Ishant Sharma got India off to a dream start as he removed Rory Burns for a duck in the very first over of England innings. Ashwin and debutant Axar Patel also took a wicket each to push England on the backfoot. Ashwin got Dom Sibley caught at leg slip at the hands of Virat Kohli, while Axar removed Joe Root for his maiden Test wicket to put India in the driver's seat. Ashwin took his time to deliver the final ball before lunch and it paid off well as Daniel Lawrence edged it straight to the short leg fielder as England lost their fourth wicket in the first session.
