IND vs ENG: Day 2 Review

Batting may have got easier, but Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have once again got India off to a great start. Considering England bat last, the match is in the balance. England are arguably still slight favorites as India’s middle-order has looked shaky.

India knocked England out for 290. Chris Woakes made a sensational return to Test cricket after an injury layoff. Following his four-wicket haul in the first innings, he scored his sixth Test fifty before being run out. After lunch, Mohammed Siraj removed Jonny Bairstow to put India back into the game. Ravindra Jadeja accounted for Ollie Robinson and Moeen Ali.
