Lunch!!!
A wicketless session!!! India added 129 runs in 30 overs to assert their dominance. They are already into the lead and England are chasing the leather here.
Rohit Sharma notched up his 12th ton while Gill brought his fourth in the format. Ominous signs for England as these two batters are having a lot of fun in the middle.

Pitch Report
It will be a good batting pitch still and might see a little less carry than yesterday. It's a little bit warmer and the pitch really hasn't changed too much. Expect movement early on for the pacers, but not as much as we have seen on day 1," reckon Nick Knight and Sanjay Manjrekar.

Rohit Sharma has a chance to go past Babar Azam!!
Rohit Sharma is batting on 52 at the moment!! Can he go score a century? If he does, it will be ninth century for him in WTC history, going past Babar Azam. He will also level with Steve Smith in this aspect.

Welcome!!!
Hello and Welcome to Day 2 of India vs England!!
A lot happened on the first day of the Test match with 11 wickets falling and 10 of them being of England. It was a poor show from them after winning a good toss and opting to bat first. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Ashwin ran through them picking up five and four wickets respectively. In response, India started well with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma scoring half-centuries. The latter is still in the middle and will be looking to convert this into a big one. Shubman Gill is also looking strong and India can literally make England chase the leather today. Will they able to do it though? Or Will England fightback? Stay tuned!!!
