Day 2: Stumps - India lead by 171 runs

The square leg umpire Chris Gaffney was standing pretty deep, and by the time he could walk to the bowler's end, the clock spilled over. So that will be Stumps. India's day!! Jaiswal continued from where he left off today morning, scoring his maiden double hundred. However, England were disciplined with their bowling, and a combination of Anderon, Bashir and Rehan Ahmed closed out the Indian innings at 396. That looked like a just about par score on this deck, and England made a good start to their innings.59 runs added for the first wicket, before Duckett was puzzled by some extra bounce. Crawley continued to score a brisk fifty, but fell to a superb Shreyas Iyer catch. Then Jasprit Bumrah cut through the middle order like a knife through butter. He made the most of reverse swing, dismissing Root with an outswinger, Pope with an inswinger and then Stokes with a cutter. The Indian vice-captain ended with 6/45 as the English middle-order offered little resistance. Skipper Stokes fought back a bit with the tail, but England ended up conceding a 143 run lead.India's openers have looked positive with the first five overs at the close of play. It is advantage for the hosts, but they found themselves in a similar situation after Day 2 in Hyderabad, and nobody needs reminding how that one ended.

Bumrah: You always enjoy when you get rewards. In India reverse swing plays a big role. Born in this country, you know how to use it to your advantage. In India, you have to learn how to bowl reverse. I've grown up watching reverse swing set ups, legendary bowlers bowling magical deliveries. To be able to do it now, very happy with that. When you bowl reverse, people try to bowl magical deliveries every other ball. You have to be patient with that. Have to set the batters up. Have to use deliveries wisely. Can't just bowl inswing outswing, inswing outswing. After that Pope delivery, I had in mind they'll be looking out for the inswinger. Was keeping an eye on what the batters were looking to do. Very happy. Try and avoid looking at numbers. When you do that, you build pressure and don't enjoy yourself.
