LUNCH - DAY 2

Eng 51-2 (24 ovs) vs Ind 295 | Scorecard

At lunch on Day 2, England are 51 for two in 24 overs, trailing India by 244 runs.

Bell is batting on 11 from 28 balls, having hit two fours, while Ballance has battled hard for seven from 46 balls.

Kumar was superb with the new ball, taking two for 17 in 11 overs, including bowling 10 straight overs with the new ball during which he picked up both the openers.

Shami had a catch dropped off his bowling, that of Robson, as he bowled eight overs for 21 runs, while Ishant bowled five overs for nine runs.

The pitch is still doing a lot and India would be hoping to pick up another few wickets in the post lunch session and put England under pressure.
