India vs England, Second Test: Day 1 Afternoon Session

India Build Solid Foundation, Jaiswal Misses Century

India reached Tea at 182 for 3, with Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring 87 and Shubman Gill remaining unbeaten on 42. The hosts' only success came when Ben Stokes broke the 66-run partnership between Gill and Jaiswal.

Morning Session Highlights

  • Gill and Jaiswal negotiated the England attack for the first hour, with the bowlers' discipline and a spread-out field limiting the flow of boundaries.
  • Jaiswal continued to score freely, feasting on occasional wayward deliveries from England.
  • A heated exchange between Carse and Gill ensued when the Indian captain pulled out ahead of a delivery, but the hosts eventually dropped the appeal.

Stokes Breaks Partnership, Jaiswal Misses Century

Ben Stokes reintroduced himself into the attack and got England the breakthrough they needed, with Jaiswal slashing at a short and wide delivery and bottom-edging it behind for 87.

Rishabh Pant's Brief Stay

Rishabh Pant remained mindful of the opposition throughout his brief stay of 14 not out, but did manage to hit a six over long-on off spinner Shoaib Bashir just before Tea.
