India vs England Highlights, 4th Test, Day 2: Rohit, Rahul safely take India to 43/0 at stumps, trail by 56 runs

India have done well to finish the day on 43/0 (Rohit 20*, Rahul 22), behind England by 56 runs. They started the innings with a 99-run lead, out of which 43 have been taken out. Job well done! Interesting day to say the least. India had England reduced to 62/5 before the next two partnerships added 89 and 65 runs. Ollie Pope held the innings together with a brilliant 81, taking England in the lead, and towards the end, it was Chris Woakes' blazing fifty that swelled it to almost a 100. Day 3 is ideally the best day for batting. But remember, we are already into the third innings of this Test match. The team that wins the first hour tomorrow is likely to strengthen its grip in the match. Hope you had a fun day. Join us tomorrow for what promises to be another engaging day of Test cricket. 

Terrific stroke. Chops the ball late for his fourth boundary of the innings. India move to 40, with Rohit and Rahul once again providing the team with a positive start.

Rohit tucks a single off his pads off Woakes as India move to 35/0. Rohit and Rahul have provided the team yet another positive start, and both batsmen would be eager to play put the final 15 minutes of the day and come out fresh tomorrow, India trail by 64.

The surface may have eased out considerably but you cannot take James Anderson out of the equation. If the first innings was all about swinging the ball, he has come out in the second innings making the ball bounce from length. He has already found Rohit's inside edge twice.

FOUR! What a shot! On a length, just outside off. Rahul stays back and punches it through cover for a boundary.

FOUR! Full ball, outside off. Rohit Sharma drives it through covers. Haseeb Hameed gives it a chase and saves a run for his side as the batters run three.

Rory Burns just didn't see it at all. It was a genuine outside edge from Rohit's bat and Burns was not ready at all. He in fact, stood up instead of crouching low. A terrible misjudgment. Anderson won't be happy at all. Rohit gets a life 

FOUR! So easy to the eye is KL Rahul. He knew there is not much lateral movement on offer, puts a good positive stride in and plays the drive on the up. There's no stopping that one. 

FOUR! Not in full control there Rohit. He looks to be eager to score quickly in this innings and hence went it with hard hands, got on the outside part of the bat and luckily for him it went through the vacant gully region. 

Rohit tucks the ball in the gap and takes a single to get himself and India off the mark in the second innings. KL Rahul comes on strike. After that brilliant century at Lord's, he's endured four low scores. India definitely needs one of their two openers to fire big. 

Here we go. Not a long break between innings. Jimmy Anderson has the ball, Rohit Sharma on strike. Three slips and a gully. England remember how they got him out in the first innings.

RUN OUT! Good work by Jasprit Bumrah. Anderson wanted the single but Woakes wasn't quite ready. Bumrah, on his follow through, did well to hit the stumps after collecting the return from Pant. So England lead by 99 runs. 

FOUR! Didn't get the desired connection but the result is what matters the most. It's a boundary that brings up the sixth Test fifty for Chris Woakes. What an important innings this has been from the all-rounder. The applause from the England dressing room bears testimony to the importance of this. 

Good new for India, Bumrah is fit and fine. But he has been hammered for a boundary by Woakes. This is turning out to be a great Test match for Woakes. 

Trouble for India. Bumrah, almost immediately after delivering the ball grabbed his left calf and hobbled across to the cover area. The Indian physio rushes in. The whole of India would be hoping, this is just a cramp. 

FOUR! Woakes almost ended up making a bit too much room for himself but still somehow managed to get enough bat on that wide one from Umesh Yadav to get it to the boundary. England's lead now crosses 80. 

Poor from Shardul Thakur. This will hurt India real bad. First one a was full and wide, Woakes drove it for a four and then he dragged it down but he doesn't have the pace to trouble Woakes, who pulls it for another boundary. 

OUT! BOWLED! Ravindra Jadeja strikes from the other end now! A tossed up delivery, around middle. Ollie Robinson gets low to slog-sweep but he misses it completely as the ball turns away a bit and goes past his blade onto the stumps. Two wickets in quick succession here for India are they are right back in the game.

OUT! Dragged on! A wicket against the run of play! Shardul Thakur strikes as Ollie Pope has thrown away his wicket here! Huge wicket this for India in the context of this game as Pope was well set and marching along nicely. Thakur serves a good-length ball, outside off. Pope looks to guide it through third man but only manages an inside edge and the ball crashes onto the stumps. He is very disappointed with himself as he has to walk back after a hard-fought 81.

England's lead is growing and growing quickly. It has crossed 50 now. 

Good from Woakes. He controlled that shot pretty well. Bumrah is known for surprising the batsman with one that bounces a bit too much. Waokes was up to the task. Just taps it past the slip cordon for a boundary. 

The next one is even better. Just a push off the back foot and it races away through the vacant backward point region. 

Right then, we are all set for the final session of the Day. You really can't get your eyes off this Test match, can you? From a neutral point of view one would like to believe that is slightly hanging in England's favour at the moment, especially considering the abilities of Chris Woakes and Robinson with the bat. 

Another shared session one would like to believe, especially after the Moeen Ali wicket. England have reached 227/7 at Tea on Day 2. They are leading by 36 runs with Ollie Pope (74) and Chris Woakes (6) in the middle. 

OUT! What a terrible shot that was from Moeen Ali. After doing all the hard work and having India thinking, he plays a slog off Jadeja only to get a top edge. Rohit Sharma was not dropping that one. Moeen's wicket provides a lease of life to India, who were looking dejected as the partnership was growing. England 222/7

Looks like India have complained about the shape of the ball. The fourth umpire has walked out with a box of used balls and the umpires have a selected one and handed over to Siraj. But Virat Kohli still not that happy.
