IND vs ENG Live Score, 2nd Test: England 173/6; Bumrah, Kuldeep ...

Stokes has decided to switch gears. He slogs Ashwin for a six towards midwicket. 

Stokes gets length ball off Kuldeep and he smacks it towards midwicket for four. Now Hartley goes for a slog sweep and the ball just falls short of the fielder in deep. Kuldeep induces an outside edge and it JUST goes past Rohit’s right hand in the first slip. Four on a good ball. 

Kuldeep strikes again! Rehan looking pull over the short midwicket but Gill times his jump perfectly and grabs the ball. England seven down now. It seemed like Rehan was in control of his innings for the brief time he was there. He went for the one he thought he could hit and mistimes it. It was a half-tracker, wide outside off stump. 

R Ashwin is back, replacing Bumrah. Just a single in that over. 

Rehan looking comfortable at the crease so far; Stokes not much. 

OUT! Foakes is cleaned up as well. A slow dipper by Kuldeep. Foakes commits on the frontfoot very early, trying to play for the spin, but it goes straight past the outside edge and crashes onto the off stump. 

England in a spot of bother as Rehan Ahmed walks in. 

Bumrah continues to challenge both the edges on length. And there’s comes a yorker. This has been a spectacular spell from Bumrah. 

And Bumrah strikes again! Bairstow departs. Ball angling into the right hander, seams away, finishing just ouside off stump, Bairstow had to play, gets the outside edge straight to slips. Beautiful bowling. No really footwork there by Bairstow.

Jonny Bairstow c Shubman Gill b Bumrah 25

Ben Foakes walks in. 

Kuldeep Yadav from the other end. Stokes goes for a slog sweep but isn’t able to get ball cross the ropes. Three runs. 

Bumrah to begin the session. Trying to get the ball into the right hander. Bairstow plays with soft hands. A maiden to begin. 

India had a good second hour of the previous session and will look to keep chipping in with wickets. Bairstow and Stokes at the crease with still 241 runs to trail. 

Ben Stokes picks a boundaary off Kuldeep to bring the session to a close. India has pulled back in the this one. Things looked ominous with Zack Crawley going after the spinners but the a outworldly catch from Shreyas Iyer and a magical few overs from Jasprit Bumrah opened the doors for India.

Bairstow gets two boundaries in the last two overs. He first cuts a short and wide delivery from Kuldeep. In the next over, he drills an over-pitched delivery from Mukesh through covers.

Bumrah follows up with a maiden. Stokes is able to defend the six deliveries.

In the previous over, Axar allowed just two runs.

Bairstow picks two boundaries in Axar’s over - a cut first followed by a drive through covers. 10 runs from the over. 

BUMRAH ON A ROLL! He has absolutely hammered this yorker into the stumps. Ollie Pope has to make the long walk back.

Ollie Pope b Bumrah 23 (55)

It’s time for skipper Ben Stokes to get some control over the innings.

BUMRAH! ROOT GONE! Bumrah gets the ball to move away just a hint and Root is guilty of poking at the ball. Gill does the job at first slip. India has two in quick succession.

Joe Root c Gill b Bumrah 5 (10)

Bumrah greets Jonny Bairstow with a yorker which strikes him on the foot. India ponders over for a minute but then decides against taking a review.

Jasprit Bumrah back into the attack. Tests the outside edge of Ollie Pope but does not quite induce one. One run from the over.

Ollie Pope scoops Axar to fine leg for two runs. A single off the fourth delivery of the over. Root paddle sweeps the final delivery for one run.

Axar Patel gets the wicket of Crawley. And Shreyas Iyer has pulled off a blinder. Crawley’s slog on the on side gets a leading edge. The ball loops over the point region where Iyer tracks back and puts in a dive to take the catch. 

Zak Crawley c Iyer b Axar 76 (78)

Joe Root joins the party with a reverse sweep boundary off Axar.

Mukesh Kumar is into the attack now. Drifts towards the pads and Pope flicks it for four. Slight inwards movement for Mukesh though. 

This has been a fascinating contest between Crawley and Ashwin. So much going with Ashwin trying out different angles, pace, and Crawley has very skillfully tackled it and found a way to keep scoring. 

Ashwin has been varying his pace, trying to draw the batters forward, make use of the bounce on offer. Crawley making use of his height slog sweeps him for a SIX to end the over. 

Crawley taking on the attack. There’s good bounce on the pitch and the ball not turning much. 

Crawley takes Kuldeep for 10 runs. A four and a SIX! And he gets to his fifty as well with that maximum. Superb batting this from the Englishman. 

OUT! India has finally got a breakthrough. Ball dips and Duckett isn’t able to control his defence and hits it straight to silly point. Kuldeep Yadav is the man of the hour for India. 

Crawley pounds Bumrah for three consecutive boundaries on the first three balls! First on drive, then towards deep third, and finally drive straight down the ground. Nice way to get fifty runs on the board. Finishes the over with another straight drive for four. 

R Ashwin from the other end. Ashwin varying his pace on length at the off-stump line. Not getting a lot of turn. ALMOST a chance there at the short midwicket! Gill dived but can’t grab it. 

Bumrah begins proceedings. Crawley takes a single on the first ball. He’s not getting the ball to move a lot though. Two runs from the over. 

Birthday boy Zak Crawley along with his opening partner Ben Duckett walk out to bat with England requiring 364 runs more to trail. They have given a good start scoring 32 runs in the first six overs. An important session for India to not only get wickets but to control the scoring rate of England. Will spinners get turn? Is there an iconic Bumrah spell in offing? We’ll know very soon. 

England started in a way one would expect it to, scoring at five runs per over. India has 364 more to defend and the two overs of spin in the first session would give Rohit Sharma some hope of taking the reins in this contest. 

Ashwin for the final over of the session. Crawley drives for a single on the final delivery of the over. That will be Lunch on Day 2.

Kuldeep Yadav into the attack. Two runs, Crawley punches at it and the edge takes it through point and to the fence. Kuldeep will take heart from the fact that he did not have much control on that shot. A single off the final delivery. 

FOUR! Mukesh goes too full and Duckett parks it through covers. FOUR more! Slaps this wide delivery through point. Drills the final ball of the over through covers again. 12 runs from the over.

Bumrah to Crawley. FOUR! Edged and through the gap between gully and second slip. Two more runs with a clip through mid wicket.

Mukesh Kumar to Duckett. FOUR! Lucky! A thick under edge after the ball nips away after pitching which runs wide of the stumps and runs to the fence. Another inside edge, this time for a single. FOUR more! On the pads and Crawley clips it away past mid wicket. Crawley punches the final delivery through cover for a single. 

Two slips and a gully in place. Bumrah to Crawley, left alone. The third delivery angles across and thuds on to the batter’s pad. Crawley has a swing at the final delivery but misses. A maiden to start the innings.

It is the usual pairing of Ben Duckett and Zack Crawley for England. For India, Jasprit Bumrah has the new ball.

Despite the splendid effort from Yashasvi Jaiswal, India is well short of a commanding first innings total. Once again, the tail offers little to no support. The final three wickets go down for just 12 runs. England will be confident of chopping off a substantial amount of this within Day 2. The English innings coming up shortly.

Bashir to Kuldeep. He opens the face of the bat on the fourth delivery to place the ball through point. But the second run does not come and Mukesh will need to survive the last two balls of the over. 

HE CAN’T! Bashir gets his third as Mukesh is caught at slip. Done by the extra bounce and turn.

Mukesh Kumar c Root b Bashir 0 (3)

Rehan Ahmed throws up a full toss for Bumrah who pummels it away through mid wicket. WICKET! Bumrah is caught at slip. He defends inside the line and offers an edge to Joe Root. India falling away like nine pins. 

Jasprit Bumrah c Root b Rehan 6 (9)

Mukesh Kumar walks in at No. 11.

Kuldeep drives Bashir through cover for another couple. A single through the same region on the fourth delivery. Bumrah is able to scamper through for a run off the final delivery.

OUT! Anderson gets Jaiswal! Only two runs coming in the last three overs and Jaiswal decided to charge the pacer. He hits it high into the air and gets caught at deep extra covers. A terrific knock comes to an end. Third wicket for Anderson. A superb spell by the veteran pacer. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal c Bairstow b Anderson 209

Jasprit Bumrah at the crease now. 

Just one run from the last two overs. Both Anderson and Bashir are nearing the end of their one-hour spell now. 

Anderson continues to be threatening with the hard new ball. Jaiswal edges past second slip for four. Taking the ball away and into the left hander. 

​

IND vs ENG: Jaiswal scores double century, 3rd youngest Indian to record 200

At 22 years and 37 days, Jaiswal is only behind Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar on the list of youngest double centurions for India.

Jaiswal slog sweeps Bashir for a SIX over square leg! Then sweeps again, finds the fence again, this time four, and gets to his DOUBLE CENTURY!! Great knock this. 

Ashwin drives Anderson for four towards on side! But Anderson gets him on the next ball, edging the ball to the keeper. Ashwin did review it, but only for ultra edge to confirm it. He goes for 20. 

Kuldeep Yadav walks in. Anderson has been brilliant this morning with the new ball. 

Jaiswal charges Bashir down the track and smacks him straight over the head for a SIX. Bashir has been slightly full this morning. Given the amount of movement Anderson is getting off the pitch, won’t be a bad idea for him to pull his length slightly back. 

That seamed in quite a bit into Jaiswal and Anderson is very much interested in that LBW call. Umpire isn’t though and England takes a review. In real time it looked that there was bat involved but nothing on the ultra edge. Ball tracking shows wicket missing and Jaiswal survives. Just a single in that over. 

350 comes up for India as Ashwin gently drives a half-volley by Bashir for four towards covers. Five more added to the total in this over. 

Jaiswal hasn’t looked very comfortable so far this morning. Anderson is challenging his outside edge and has almost found it on two occasions. 

Second new ball has been taken. James Anderson to begin the proceedings. A jaffa on the first ball, challenging Jaiswal’s outside edge. He’s making the ball move away from both right and left handers. Two runs off the over. 

Shoaib Bashir to begin the day. Jaiswal on strike. Gets away with just a single: was short wide ball and Jaiswal had slashed hard on it but only to be fielded at point. Ashwin drives through covers to get the first boundary of the day. Five runs off the over. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal and R Ashwin walk out to bat. England players too come out for the second day. 

The Indian innings now hinges on what Jaiswal, and his partner Ashwin, add up on the second day. The wickets of Axar Patel and Srikar Bharat tilted the match just a bit into England’s favour. The wicket still has plenty for the batters to enjoy and the way England goes about its business with the willow, it would fancy anything below 450. 

The India vs England 2nd Test match will be telecast live from 8:30 AM IST on Sports18 and Sports18 HD.

The match can also be live streamed for free on the JioCinema app and website.
