1st Test: Rahul’s Unbeaten Fifty, Iyer's Solid 34 Help India Inch Closer To Lead
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: KL Rahul slammed his 14th Test fifty through an unbeaten 55 while Shreyas Iyer was rock-solid in his 34 not out to help India inch closer to taking the lead over England on day two of first Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday.
At lunch, India are 222/3 in 50 overs, and trail England by only 24 runs. Though India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, the session belonged to India, who added 103 runs in 27 overs, 63 from which came from the fourth-wicket stand between Rahul and Iyer.
In the morning, Joe Root, who didn’t bowl a single ball on day one, got the wicket of Jaiswal on the fourth ball of the session. Jaiswal added four runs to his overnight total of 76, before being deceived in pace and flight to give a return catch to Root on his bowling.
