The second match of the 5-match Test series between India and England is being played at Lord's. On the second day, Team India has scored 300+ runs for the loss of 5 wickets. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja are currently at the crease. Meanwhile, KL Rahul departed after a fine innings of 129 runs.
India lost 2 wickets for 6 runs on the second day. Middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane was also dismissed after KL Rahul. James Anderson sent him back to the pavilion on his very first ball of the day. Rahane's poor form continues. In the last 9 Tests, Rahane has scored 269 runs with only 1 half-century. On the other hand, Ollie Robinson sent Rahul back to the pavilion. Rahul handled India's innings with a century partnership with Rohit Sharma and later with captain Virat Kohli.
Rohit Sharma got out after scoring 83 runs. He was clean bowled by James Anderson. Cheteshwar Pujara was dismissed after scoring 9 runs. Meanwhile, Anderson sent Pujara back to the pavilion for the 9th time. Only Lyon has dismissed Pujara 10 times more than him. Captain Virat Kohli was dismissed after scoring 42 runs. He was caught by Joe Root. There was a partnership of 117 runs between Kohli and Rahul for the third wicket.
In 2014, when the Lord's Test was played between India and England, Team India was successful in registering a win by 95 runs. In the fourth innings of the match, experienced fast bowler Ishant Sharma dismissed seven players of the host team. Now, captain Virat Kohli will expect a similar performance from Ishant as he is in very good form at the moment. He also has a lot of experience playing in England.
