That's the end of second day's play. England dominated the play through out the day. India end the day on 174 for six and trail by 158 more runs. Hanuma Vihari and Ravindra Jadeja are the unbeaten at the crease. Join us back tomorrow for third day's play! Full Scorecard.
Ben Stokes gets the big wicket. Indian captain has edged it to the second slip. Joe Root takes the chase. Kohli chased the wide ball and had to pay the price.Â
Superb bowling this by James Anderson. He was looking threatening and now has picked two wickets in quick succession. Ajinkya Rahane departs for eight-ball duck. He is caught in the slips cordon by Alastair Cook.Â
Finally, James Anderson is rewarded for bowling well. He picks Cheteshwar Pujara. The right-handed batsman went close to the ball and got the outside edge. Jonnny Bairstow takes an easy catch.Â
England pick another wicker as KL Rahul departs. Sam Curran gets rid of the Indian opener. Rahul is bowled. Superb delivery that, went slightly away after pitching. Rahul thought he had the angle covered but that wasn't the case.Â
KL Rahul is playing aggressively, not afraid to take risk. And that has worked for his thus far. Meanwhile, Pujara is happy to play defensively from other end.Â
Stuart Broad strikes for England early. He has trapped Shikhar Dhawan in front of the wickets. The ball was coming back into the left-hander, he misses it and is trapped in front. Dhawan wanted to take DRS, but was little late.
That's end of England's innings. Jos Buttler is the last man to be dismissed. He is caught in the slips, looking to the extra cover. Ravindra Jadeja picks his fourth wicket. Buttler departs for well made 89.
Ravindra Jadeja finally ends the stand between Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad. KL Rahul takes the catch, he goes backwards from mid-on and completes it. Broad was looking to go over him.
So, that's lunch on day two. Good session this for England as they lost just one wicket for 106 runs. Jos Buttler is still out there and he will look to continue in the same fashion after the lunch break. Buttler has added 90 runs for the eighth wicket with Stuart Broad, who is batting on 36.
After the departure of Adil Rashid, Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad have gone on a hitting spree. Both have got 64 run partnership stand and Buttler got his half-century from 86 balls. He hit 5 fours and Broad is currently on 24.Â
So as Indian bowlers intend to wipe out the tail-enders of England, Jasprit Bumrah gets the first breakthrough. Bowled outside off and Rashid does not play it in the line of the ball. The projection shows the clipping of the leg stump. Rashid OUT on 15.Â
So Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are back to business. Adil Rashid and Jos Buttler are still playing for England. Rashid hit a FOUR last over and England past 200 run mark!Â
Hi and welcome to the live blog of the day 2 of the 5th test match. Check out the picture of Virat and company from the Oval.
The day 2 of the India vs England 5th Test series is turning out to be an interesting one. On the day 1, before the lunch, it looked as if the Alastair Cook and Moeen Ali would walk away with the game putting up a hefty total for the opponents. However, once Cook departed, Ali after making a half-century made way to the pavilion. No other England batsmen could survive the fiery Indian pacers.
Sam Curran who had troubled the Indians earlier in the series too departed for a duck. Ditto with England captain Joe Root. By the end of the day, England could only put up 198 runs on the board. Kudos to the Indian bowlers who did their job extremely well. Throughout the series, batting has been an only headache for Virat Kohli. As per accuweather.com, the day 2 is expected to have passing showers. It will be interesting to see how the Indian batters respond to the changing situation. Stay with us for the live blog of the Day 2!
