Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hit an unbeaten fifty but off-spinner Shoaib Bashir left India in a spot of bother at 131 for 4 in their first innings at tea on the second day of the fourth Test against England in Ranchi on Saturday.

 

India dismissed England for 353 in 104.5 overs in their first innings in the morning session.
