Welcome to coverage of Day 2 of the fourth Test between India and England at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, on Friday.

The first day witnessed an exciting day of cricket. England opener Keaton Jennings struck a century on debut before off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin led an Indian fightback with late wickets to leave the visitors 288 for five on the first day of the fourth Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on Thursday.

The touring side, trailing 2-0 in the five-match series, had been cruising on 230-2 thanks largely to left-handed opener Jennings who made 112 after being dropped on nought.

But Ashwin, the world's top-ranked Test bowler, picked up four wickets to peg back England who had been eyeing a large first innings total on a track already assisting the spinners.

At stumps on the opening day, honours were even with Ben Stokes unbeaten on 25 and Jos Buttler on 18.

Incidentally, For the first time since India played its first ever Test in Mumbai in 1933, no Mumbai player could make it to the playing eleven of a Test played in the nursery of the country's cricket, on Thursday.

Since 1933 when the Bombay Gymkhana, also in South Mumbai, played host to the first Test not only in this city but in the entire country, no Indian team has been without a Mumbai player in the eleven.

However, with Ajinkya Rahane being ruled out of the rest of the series after sustaining a freak finger injury during practice on Wednesday and Thakur, who was in the squad as a cover for Mohammed Shami, also not included, meant there was no representation from Mumbai, the premier team in Indian domestic cricket with a total of 41 Ranji Trophy titles and having produced some of the greatest names in Indian cricket like Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar among others.

The first day's play also saw on-field umpire Paul Reiffel was forced to leave the field on Thursday for medical attention after being hit on the back of the head by a throw from fielder Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the post lunch session.

The former Australia fast bowler was standing at square leg when the ball thrown by Kumar from deep square leg hit him flush on the back of the head and he fell down on the turf.

Play was halted for a while as on-field medical attention was administered before the dazed official left the ground to go into the pavilion for further rest and recuperation.

Reiffel was replaced by Marias Erasmus, who was doing the third umpire's duty indoors and his duties were transferred to reserve official C Shamsuddin sitting inside.
