India resumed day 2 at 24/1 with Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara at the crease. Spinner Jack Leach took the day's first wicket after trapping Pujara lbw for 17 with the overnight batsman adding two to his score.

Stokes generated pace and bounce at the venue where England lost the previous match inside two days on a viciously turning pitch. A day after his confrontation with Kohli, Stokes sent back the captain for his second duck of the series when he edged a rising delivery to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes.
