India 24-1 (12 ovs) vs Eng 205 | Scorecard

Welcome to the coverage of Day 2 of the fourth and final Test between India and England at the Narendra Modi stadium in Motera, on Friday.

Axar Patel continued to torment the England batsmen as he picked up 4/68, while Ravichandran Ashwin claimed 3/47.

Pacer Mohammed Siraj bowled his heart out as he took 2/45 with India dominating the opening day with the ball.

Ben Stokes top-scored for England with 55, while Dan Lawrence stroked 46 but the rest of the batsmen struggled once again as England's batting nightmare continued in India.
