India vs England Highlights, 2nd Test, Day 2: Ashwin’s 5-for keeps hosts on top, India lead by 249 runs

The play on second day of the second Test comes to an end. After bundling up England for a paltry 134, India take a lead of 249 runs. Cheteshwar Pujara (7*) and opener Rohit Sharma (25*) will resume the Indian innings on 54/1 on day 3 -- Monday.

Jack Leach brings up the last over of the second day of the second Test. let's have a look at today's play so far:

Overs: 84.4

Runs: 216

Wickets: 15

Over rate: 15.1

Run rate: 2.55

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
