England walked off the field for Lunch looking happier of the two teams as India found themselves seven wickets down after the first session of play on the second day of the second Test at Lord's. Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant counter-attacked the English bowlers but fell soon after for 37 runs off 58 balls as India lost two wickets in quick succession. Moeen Ali dismissed Mohammed Shami for a duck to bring England back in the game. Earlier, KL Rahul (129 runs off 250 balls) and Ajinkya Rahane (1 run off 23 balls) departed early with pacers Ollie Robinson and James Anderson giving England massive breakthroughs. Ravindra Jadeja was in the middle at 31 and Ishant Sharma was batting without having opened his account as India were placed at 346/7 after 116 overs. (LIVE SCORECARD)
