IND vs ENG Live Score updates, 5th Test Day 2: IND 135/1; Rohit, Gill eye massive lead vs England

Rohit on the charge! Bashir goes full and Rohit smacks him straight over the head for a SIX! Follows it up with another shot straight down the ground for a four. 

James Anderson from the other end. Stump to stump attack with not much movement. Two runs from the over. 

Shoaib Bashir begins the day. Rohit Sharma at the strike. A maiden to start the day. 

Nick Knight says there is more movement in the air than off the pitch and that it is still a good batting pitch. However, he reckons that lack of bounce and pace will come into play as the game progresses. 

It has been a quiet series for England’s middle-order. Despite having the likes of Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow in its ranks, the touring side struggled to get going in the Indian conditions.

IND vs ENG, 5th Test: Trescothick looks at the positives despite England’s middle-order collapse on Day 1

On the first day of the fifth Test, England lost its last seven wickets for just 43 runs, despite being comfortably placed at 175 for 3 at one point in time.

It was one for the album. As the Indian cricketers walked off the pitch on Thursday afternoon after bundling out England for 218 in the first innings of the final Test, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj threw the ball to Ravichandran Ashwin.

They wanted him to lead the side off the field as this was his 100th Test and he claimed a four-fer. But a generous Ashwin gave the red cherry back to Kuldeep, put his hands on the latter’s shoulders and insisted on him doing the honours, having claimed a fifer and ripping apart England’s batting line-up. 

On a day when all of England’s wickets fell to spin at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium, Kuldeep reluctantly agreed to lead the team off the pitch and raised the ball towards the crowd, who chanted his name.
