IND vs ENG, 5th Test, Day 2 Live Score: Summary
What a fine day of cricket this from India. Plenty of runs from the top-order especially skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill who reached the three figure landmark. Rest of the batters made use of the opportunity too with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and debutant Devdutt Padikkal all getting to their half centuries.
From the English side, wickets were hard to comeby in the first session but two wickets straighway after lunch made things slightly easier. After that, Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir bagged two and four wickets, respectively to rattle India at one stage. However, Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav saved the day for the home side by batting till the end of the day and taking India's score to 473 with a lead of 255 runs.

India's lead is now 250. All thanks to this partnership between Bumrah and Kuldeep that India are at this stage. However, Kuldeep gets dropped by Ben Stokes at second gully on the next delivery off Bashir. The chance goes begging for the tourists. This helps India big time.
IND vs ENG, 5th Test, Day 2 Live Score: IND 462/8 (117)
Bumrah and Kuldeep have been grinding it out in the middle since the fall of last wicket on 428. 34-run partnership and the patience is building up now.

What's happening to India here??? Ravichandran Ashwin cleaned up. It's Tom Hartley once again. India losing the plot now. Certainly, they are. Wickets are falling in clusters now. England making a shift back in the game. Hartley and Bashir, the enforcers. They are rattling India. All the hardwork done by the top-order batters is getting wasted now. Gone for a duck.
