ENG v IND, 2nd Test: Early Lunch Taken As India Scores 46/0

Rain has caused umpires to take early lunch in the first session after only 18.4 overs were bowled with Indian openers surviving and scoring 46/0. 

Looking at the overcast conditions, the England captain opted to bowl first after Virat Kohli once again lost the toss. Rain caused a 30-minute delayed start and the stage was set for the Dukes' ball to swing. 

James Anderson along with Ollie Robinson took the new ball and tested the Indian openers. It was a slow start and India was scoring at a rate of 1 rpo before Rohit Sharma let loose against Sam Curran in the 15th over. 

The over saw Sharma hitting Curran for four boundaries and shifting the momentum towards India. However, just when the duo of KL Rahul and Rohit were looking set, rain once again stopped the play at Lord's. 

Brief Score: 

India - 46/0 in 18.4 overs (Rohit Sharma - 35*, KL Rahul - 10)
