England 465-8 (130 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Welcome back for the coverage of the post-lunch session on Day 2 of the Rajkot Test.

Jadeja, who bowled just one over in the morning session, will start off after the lunch break.

And Jadeja strikes in his very first over with the wicket of Woakes, who looks to defend but gets an edge and is caught behind for four.

England have another all-rounder out in the middle in the form of Adil Rashid at No. 9, who has 10 first class centuries to his credit.

Mohammed Shami, who bowled a good spell in the morning session, will start off from the other end.

He is getting the ball to reverse as Stokes defends the first ball which bounces close to the stumps and the batsman has to kick it away. He takes a quick single off the fourth ball with Kohli doing well to rush to midwicket from short cover and he would have caught Rashid if he had got the direct hit.

Jadeja not giving Stokes anything to work with, bowling it flat and full, as he defends before sweeping the third ball to deep square leg for one.

Stokes looking to get his eye in after the lunch break, not taking too many risks at the start of the session.

He turns Shami on the leg side for two runs to midwicket with Mishra struggling to get to the ball.

Stokes hits a full toss straight to Mishra at mid-on who fumbles and lets the two batsmen get away with a quick single despite the huge misunderstanding and again Kohli is not happy with the effort.

Stokes heaves Jadeja on the leg side but mishits it high on the leg side as captain Kohli makes a valiant effort rushing back from midwicket but fails to get to the ball.

Infact, Vijay at long-on was in the best possible position to take the catch but he didn't go for the catch after seeing his captain rush for it.

Rashid cuts a short ball from Jadeja past the slip fielder for a four to get off the mark.

Mishra in the thick of things yet again as Stokes hit it to mid-on and sets off for a quick single but the fielder is unable to get the direct hit.

Rashid doesn't last long as he goes for a big over the leg side but fails to make proper connection and is caught at mid-on for five.
