The Indian bowlers desperately had to step up with their performance to help their team make a comeback in the Test match. India pacer Mohammed Shami picked up the opening breakthrough in the form of Rory Burns’ wicket as the left-hander got out after scoring 61 runs. However, the highlight moment of the first session of Day 2 at the Headingley was Ravindra Jadeja knocking over Haseeb Hameed with a lovely delivery. This was the first wicket of the series so far for the Indian left-arm spinner.

India vs England Live:

England are placed at 182 for 2  with skipper Joe Root and Dawid Malan unbeaten at the crease after the opening session on Day 2 of the third Test against India. While playing his first Test match since 2018, Malan has looked in a fine touch so far batting on an unbeaten 27 runs and the England skipper has already scored more than 300 runs in this series, thus, the home team are in a good position. England are currently leading India by 104 runs and if the visitors don’t pick wickets in quick succession during the second session, their worries are bound to increase.
