Despite taking a first innings lead, India put in a disappointing batting display against England on Day 2 of the ongoing third Test match, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In response to England’s 112, India scored 145 in their first innings and lead by 33 runs. The hosts began Day 2 on a poor note, losing quick wickets, and it all went downhill with the departure of Rohit Sharma. For the visitors, Joe Root was in top form, registering five wickets. He took the wickets of Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah. Meanwhile, Jack Leach dismissed Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane. The visitors will be aiming to build on their turnaround and get a good start in their second innings. Meanwhile, the hosts will be trying to restrict England and build some momentum.

The pitch is dry and plenty of turn is expected. The batsmen will have less time to adjust, and it could get worse as the match progresses.

Pressure on Rohit Sharma!
Day 1 ended with the departure of Virat Kohli, who scored 27 off 58 balls. He and Rohit Sharma had built a stable partnership and were anchoring India’s innings, but Jack Leach had other plans. Rohit has already registered a half-century, and will be attempting to stitch together a strong partnership with Ajinkya Rahane.
The Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper will be aiming for a ton, but it won’t be easy. England could be batting again by Dinner time, or India could be close to 300 runs. Only time will tell!

Axar Patel in top form!

He followed it up with six wickets on Day 1 of the ongoing third Test match. He dismissed Zak Crawley, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Ben Foakes, Jofra Archer and Stuart Broad.

Hello and welcome!
Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the third Test between India and England. The first day saw England win the toss and choose to bat, but India’s spinners ran circles around them, bundling them out for 112. A Rohit Sharma half-century meant India finished the day trailing England by just 13 runs, but England will be happy to have got the big wickets of Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli.
We are sure to see another day of some thrilling cricket today
