India vs England, Day 2 at Lord’s, highlights: India all out for 107 - as it happened
Rain washed out the play on Day 1 of the first test at Lord’s and it was a similar story on the second day as well. After constant interruptions throughout the day India found themselves in trouble once again against England’s pace battery and were bowled out for 107. James Anderson, who took five wickets, removed both openers while Cheteshwar Pujara was run out. Virat Kohli looked good before he was removed by Chris Woakes. Ravichandran Ashwin was the top scorer for India with 29. India will have to do really well with the ball to have any chance in the match.

Stat Alert
That was a horrible moment for India’s batsmen, but it’s an all too familiar scene for Chesteshwar Pujara. Of India’s last 10 Test run-outs, Pujara has been involved in seven of them.
Oh dear. Pujara!
18:21 hrs IST
Calamity for India
Yes and no, and Pujara is stranded and has to head back in and the rain is spitting down with full intensity. Players are rushing back in. India in a real mess now. Kohli is stunned, but India look bleak, much like the weather.
18:18 hrs IST
They’re off again, and back on
And just as they were going off, the umpires call the players back in. Kohli has been dragged back on the field. Stumps rooted, we are good to go
18:15 hrs IST
Raining again
It is starting to come down again, the ball continues to move, the conditions are not easy at all, and these frequent stops are not doing the batsmen any favours.
18:98 hrs IST
We are good to go
It looks much brighter, Anderson to continue, Pujara takes strike.
18:01 hrs IST
Ahh, blue skies
It looks much brighter right now, the covers have been dragged off. It looks good, to be honest, but then there is that lump of black cloud hovering over the ground.
17:51 hrs IST
Positive news
The rain has passed us for now, play to start in about 20 minutes, provided there is no rain.
We can only hope.
17:12 hrs IST

Rahul out
Not a very smart stroke from Rahul, lunges forward to a length ball, then tries to defend, manages a feather through to Bairstow.
15:58 hrs IST
Ball hooping around
The conditions are overcast, that Dukes ball is seaming all over the place and it is a tough time to be a batsman out there, but then this is the battle!
15:48 hrs IST
First runs for India
Lovely stroke by Kl Rahul, leans forward to a pitched up ball and then times it through covers. The outfield is still quick enough and India get off the mark
15:43 hrs IST
Litmus test for Pujara
This is perhaps the biggest Test of Cheteshwar Pujara’s career. He has been brought into the side to provide solidity to the top order. With India losing Vijay in the very first over and James Anderson bowling at his best, Pujara will have to dig his heel deep and bail India out.
15:33 hrs IST
Vijay knocked over
The ball was angled in, it pitches on the stumps and then decks away to beat Vijay’s prod, crashes into the stumps.
India rocked early.

Interesting combinations
Pujara seems to warming up, he might replace Shikhar Dhawan.
And, yes Kuldeep Yadav could just get the nod ahead of a fast bowler.
14:26 hrs IST
Covers are out
Do not be startled, there is a chunk of dark cloud which has become uglier and is hovering over the stadium. Just a precautionary measure, but then it is the London weather!
