An enthralling day's play comes to an end with England needing 332 runs to win the 2nd Test match. The day beganwith James Anderson knocking over both Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah and later it was the Shubman Gill show, who battled his way to a third Test century. India rode on his innings to score 255, thereby setting a 399-run target for England to chase down a go 2-0 up in the series. All three results are still possible, although a draw can be taken out of the equation with the kind of attacking cricket that England play. With still 332 runs to get and India needing nine more wickets, it is still anybody's game. India though will be slightly ahead as batting fourth on this track is expected to be a tough ask.
OUT! Ravichandran Ashwin has struck and he has dismissed Ben Duckett, who was looking so good. Duckett defends the ball which catches the edge of the bat, hits the pad and lobs up. KS Bharat then ended up taking a good catch to give India a breakthrough! Ben Duckett c KS Bharat b Ravichandran Ashwin 28(27)
Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett have once again given England a good start and the latter has done the bulk of the scoring. It would be interesting to see India's tactic as they look to separate the pair before the close of play today.

Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett have begun the run chase for England and India will hope to take out one of these two players before plays ends today.
OUT! Rehan Ahmed ends Ravichandran Ashwin's innings and India have been bowled out for 255 runs. Ashwin fails to take the target beyond 400 with England needing 399 to win, having few overs and two more days to play. India would ideally want to pick up a couple of England wickets to dent the chase. Ravichandran Ashwin c Ben Foakes b Rehan Ahmed 29(61)
OUT! One more wicket here after tea as Kuldeep Yadav falls to Tom Hartley. The left-hander went for a slog sweep and Ben Duckett ends up taking a simple catch. India would need someone to stay with Ravi Ashwin in the middle for the total to go closer to 400. Kuldeep Yadav c Ben Duckett b Tom Hartley 0(5)
OUT! Another soft dismissal for KS Bharat, who failed to pull off the shot with the ball going straight to Ben Stokes. A wicket falls in the first over after tea and England would be more than happy to keep India's lead to within 400 here. KS Bharat c Ben Stokes b Rehan Ahmed 6(28)

India are well and truly on top against England in Visakhapatnam after Yashasvi Jaiswal starred with a magical double hundred and Jasprit Bumrah complemented it with a brilliant six-wicket haul. Rohit Sharma and his men now are in the driver's seat and it remains to be seen how things end up turning out on Day 3 of this enthralling Test match. India, despite being in an advantageous position, will not take things lightly. They were in a similar situation back in Hyderabad before Ollie Pope's magical knock and Tom Hartley's heroics in the fourth innings turned the game around on its head. India will be wary of that and look forward to dictating proceedings from here on in a bid to level the series. For England, a lot would rest on the spinners who would look to bring an end to the Indian innings as early as possible in this Test match. IND vs ENG 2nd Test 2024 Day 2 Stumps: India in Driver's Seat As Yashasvi Jaiswal Scores Double Ton, Jasprit Bumrah Claims Six Wickets.
Jaiswal was the lone performer for India in the first innings, shining with a sensational double century, his first in Test cricket with many more expected to come. Had it not been for Jaiswal who showed excellent composure and technique to get to the mark, India could have fallen well short of what would have been a challenging total on this flat track. The next best score by the Indian batting order was 34 by Shubman Gill, which just goes to show how spectacular the innings was, by young Jaiswal. India would have wanted a bit more than 396 but Bumrah had other plans. On a placid track that did not have much for the fast bowlers, he churned out what would go down as a memorable performance. With his ability to reverse swing the ball and also nail those yorkers, the premier paceman ran through England's middle-order and cleaned up the tail as well.

India, with a 171-run lead, will look to put up a score that could be beyond England's control. But the task would be far from easy, considering how good England have been when it comes to run chases, in this format of the game.
