The second day of the ongoing Test match between India and England at Lord’s concluded with India trailing after a challenging start. After bowling out England for 387 runs, India managed to score 145 runs for the loss of three wickets by the end of the day. KL Rahul remained unbeaten on 53 runs, while Rishabh Pant was not out on 19 runs. Jasprit Bumrah delivered a remarkable performance, taking five wickets and setting a new record for the most five-wicket hauls by an Indian bowler in overseas Test matches, surpassing Kapil Dev’s previous record of 12.
In response to England’s total, India faced early difficulty, losing Yashasvi Jaiswal for just 13 runs to Jofra Archer. Despite a solid 40-run contribution from Karun Nair, Ben Stokes dismissed him, disrupting a promising partnership with KL Rahul. Captain Shubman Gill struggled at the crease, falling for 16 runs to Chris Woakes.
Post the early setbacks, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul stabilized the innings, ensuring no further wickets fell before stumps. Rahul’s half-century came off 113 balls and showcased his determination, while Pant’s 19 runs came from 33 balls. The Indian team looks to these two as key players on the third day.
Jasprit Bumrah’s exceptional bowling played a crucial role in reducing England’s first innings to 387 runs. Joe Root was England’s top scorer with 104 runs, but the morning of the second day saw a rapid decline in wickets for the English side. They began the day at 251 for four but lost three wickets for just 20 runs, with Bumrah claiming the scalps of Root, Stokes, and Chris Woakes.
