  Maiden over from Leach

  Jack Leach bowls the second maiden on his spell in the second innings. He had a chance of getting Rohit Sharma stumped out but wasn't that luck. The Indian opener was inside the crease before stumper Ben Foakes clipped the bails off.

  IND:53/1 after 16 overs

• 14 Feb 2021, 04:23:21 PM IST

  Leach to Pujara - FOUR | 50-up for India

  Pujara cuts away for a boundary to take India past 50-run mark. The hosts have taken a lead of 247 runs in the second innings with Pujara and Rohit batting on 7 and 23 respectively. IND: 53/1

• 14 Feb 2021, 04:17:21 PM IST

  Rohit survives

  That's a huge relief for Indian and the fans out there. Leach bowled a fuller delivery and Rohit went for reverse-sweep but misses. Huge appeal and umpire Nitin Menon obliges. Rohit wastes no time in taking the DRS and guess what, there was a fine edge as the ball passed under his bat. England lose another review, IND: 47/1

• 14 Feb 2021, 04:10:27 PM IST

  DRS

  England have wasted a DRS review. The impact was outside the stumps. But there is some contention as umpire said there was shot offered. However, it did not look like Rohit was playing a shit.

• 14 Feb 2021, 04:06:46 PM IST

  Physio is out

  Rohit has been struck on the helmet off the bowling of Moeen Ali. The physio has come onto the field to check if there is concussion.

• 14 Feb 2021, 04:00:17 PM IST

  WICKET

  Shubman went forward with a defensive shit but it struck his pads. Umpire gave him out but India have taken a review. But it was plumb in front of the wickets as he walks back to the pavilion.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:57:01 PM IST

  Runs continue to flow

  Commentators are discussing Shubman Gill's stance. Shubman doesn't have a trigger movement the deliveries as he stays still. He scored some runs against Moeen Ali

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:49:15 PM IST

  Foakes misses a chance

  Rohit went down the wicket and heaved for a big one. But missed it completely. But luckily for him, Foakes did the same.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:44:44 PM IST

  Run-out chance

  There was a mix-up between Rohit and Shubman. Rohit wanted a single where there was none. Shubman sent him back but a dive saved him.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:42:57 PM IST

  35 in 7 overs

  India have raced to a score of 35 in just 7 overs. Both the openers have come in with an attacking mindset.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:34:45 PM IST

  SIX

  Shubman Gill got under Moeen Ali's delivery and smashed it over long-on for a six.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:32:09 PM IST

  All-spin attack

  Joe Root has pulled Olly Stone from the attack and brought in Moeen Ali. He is greeted with a boundary from Rohit.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:26:10 PM IST

  Stone to Rohit: SIX!

  Rohit Sharma has pulled Stone for a six. You cannot bowl a short-pitched delivery to Rohit.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:20:11 PM IST

  Leach into the attack

  Rohit has managed to score 2 runs off the Pope over. England have brought on Jack Leach in the second over itself.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:15:58 PM IST

  Batsmen are back

  Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are on the pitch. Rohit is facing Stone for the first balls of India's second innings.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:13:46 PM IST

  Ashwin's record

  Ashwin becomes the first bowler to get 200 left-handers out in Test cricket.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:13:13 PM IST

  Bowled out

  Ashwin has completed his five-wicket haul. He bowled Stuart Broad as India dismissed England for 134 runs. They are 195 runs behind India's total.

• 14 Feb 2021, 03:01:52 PM IST

  WICKET

  Rishabh Pant has taken another great catch. Leach edged one off Ishant Sharma and Pant dived to his left to take a great catch. Eng 131/9

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:53:53 PM IST

  Bowling change

  Sign of pace, Ishant Sharma has been brought back into the attack. He had given India a good start with the new ball, Kohli would be hoping he can do it again to polish off the tail.

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:50:31 PM IST

  Four byes

  That's the problem on a turning track, if you get it wrong even the slightest bit then it can cost you. Like it did for Axar Patel. He just strayed down and the ball spun past Leach's pads to reach the boundary. England 123/8

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:45:01 PM IST

  Ashwin, Axar probe away

  Axar and Ashwin are probing away. But credit to Foakes and Leach have done a good job against the turning ball.

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:38:55 PM IST

  Leach goes down town

  FOUR! Excellent use of the feet from Jack Leach. The first time an England batsman has decided to go over the bowler's head today. Perhaps a blueprint their top order batsmen could follow in the second innings. England 113/8

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:33:39 PM IST

  Two tight overs

  Relentless bowling from the Indian spinners, there is no respite at all. Ashwin bowled a maiden and then Axar Patel backed it up with another good over. England 107/8. It's only a mater of time now.

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:30:05 PM IST

  All set for the final session

  Ashwin has the ball in his hand, we are set for the final session of Day 2.

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:21:55 PM IST

  Ashwin has another

  OUT! Another one bites the dust, Ashwin is on a roll on his home ground. Olly Stone the man dismissed. A Loopy delivery outside off, Stone leant forward on the clip, doesn't cover for the angle and meekly chips it down to Rohit at mid-wicket. The umpires have called for Tea on Day 2 with England at 106/8

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:04:33 PM IST

  WICKET

  England have lost their seventh wicket as Moeen Ali heads back to the pavilion. Axar was brought back into the attack and it worked immediately. England 105/7

• 14 Feb 2021, 02:01:43 PM IST

  India's DRS record

  India's record with DRS has been very bad. They lost a review more times than they have retained one. Even in the last Test, India lost all their DRS reviews and it led to Buttler being given a chance in the end.

• 14 Feb 2021, 01:51:17 PM IST

  Another DRS wasted

  The ball was going above the stumps but Ashwin was adamant on the review.

• 14 Feb 2021, 01:50:03 PM IST

  DRS taken

  Virat Kohli has brought R Ashwin back into the attack. He is looking to dismiss England early. And he has coaxed Kohli to take a DRS review. Looking like it is going above the stumps.

• 14 Feb 2021, 01:43:17 PM IST

  Pant's advice to Kuldeep

  Pant has asked Kuldeep to bowl faster.

• 14 Feb 2021, 01:37:52 PM IST

  Moeen finding it diffcult

  Moeen still hasn't got off the mark. He is playing it slow as the pitch has become difficult to bat on.

• 14 Feb 2021, 01:21:22 PM IST

  WICKET!

  Mohammed Siraj got a wicket with the first ball he bowled in the Test match. He got an inside edge of Pope's bat as it travelled to the wicketkeeper. Pant took a stunning catch as England lost their sixth wicket.

• 14 Feb 2021, 01:10:35 PM IST

  Drinks break

  England have reached the score of 82/5 as players head for a drinks break.

• 14 Feb 2021, 01:03:29 PM IST

  Kuldeep into the attack

  Kuldeep Yadav is bowling for the first time in an international Test match since 2018. He had big appeal for a caught behind which was turned down by the umpire.

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:55:18 PM IST

  Foakes and Pope's partnership

  Foakes and Pope have settled some nerves for England. They have struck a small partnership which has taken England's score to 76.

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:44:06 PM IST

  DRS wasted

  Kohli went ahead with Pant's judgement but the ball was missing the leg stump while also having a lot of bounce.

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:42:11 PM IST

  Big appeal

  Axar Patel and Indian team went up with a big appeal which was turned down by the umpire. But India have take the DRS.

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:35:26 PM IST

  Ashwin overtakes Bhajji

  Ashwin now has 266 wickets in India. He surpassed Harbhajan in the list, with only Anil Kumble ahead of him.

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:27:12 PM IST

  WICKET

  Stokes is gone. Ashwin bamboozles Stokes with a stunner. A phenomenal delivery by Ashwin. A wonderful piece of off-spin. England 52/5

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:25:03 PM IST

  Stokes is the key for England

  A lot depends on Stokes now. He is the experienced batsman left in England batting line-up. But the ball is spinning alot and it might be hard for the batsman.

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:19:35 PM IST

  Falls short

  Pope tried to sweep Ashwin. But it took the edge, went into the air but fell short of the fielder.

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:14:00 PM IST

  Axar to bowl

  Axar Patel will bowl the first ball of the second session. Ben Stokes takes the strike.

• 14 Feb 2021, 12:12:26 PM IST

  Second session about to begin

  The second session of Day 2 of the second Test is about to begin. Players are out on the field.

• 14 Feb 2021, 11:33:25 AM IST

  GONE! Lunch on Day 2

  R Ashwin dismissed Dan Lawrence at the stroke of Lunch on Day 2 of the 2nd Test. England reach 39/4 at Lunch on Day 2.

• 14 Feb 2021, 11:26:23 AM IST

  India review LBW call

  R Ashwin convinced Virat Kohli to take the review - Kohli was not sure. But Kohli trusted his bowler. But it was straying the other way round. NOT OUT! India waste a review

• 14 Feb 2021, 11:24:13 AM IST

  Lawrence playing solid defense

  Dan Lawrence is playing solid defence. With Ben Stokes on the other end, this would be his role to keep one end steady. 10 minutes to go for Lunch.

• 14 Feb 2021, 11:17:27 AM IST

  Stats attack

  Root departs for 6

  2nd time in this series, he has been dismissed by Left-arm spinner

• 14 Feb 2021, 11:06:35 AM IST

  Axar gets wicket of ROOT!

  GONE! Axar gets his first Test wicket and it is Joe Root who has been dismissed for just 6. BIG WICKET! Top edge lands in Ashwin's hands.
