Rohit Sharma struck 83 to give India a solid start before James Anderson picked two wickets before Tea on Day 1 of the 2nd test.
Resuming the 2nd session at 46/0, Rohit and KL Rahul began from they left; mixing attack with caution. While Rohit was the aggressor, KL held his defense at the other end. The two stitched India's first-century partnership away from home in over a decade.

Sharma was well set but a nip-backer from Anderson gave England a breakthrough. Cheteshwar Pujara also looked positive but couldn't capitalise on the start and edged one to the slips on nine.
Rahul hit his second fifty on the tour as India ended with a score of 157/2 with Virat Kohli at the other end.
