1st Test: Rahul, Axar Keep Steady India After Hartley Dismisses Top-order In Chase Of 231
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: KL Rahul and Axar Patel added 32 for the fourth wicket to keep India steady in their pursuit of chasing down 231 after ending tea session on day four’s play at 95/3 in 29 overs.
At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, left-arm spinner Hartley, who had figures of 2-131, bowled in the right areas to take out the Indian top-order. From 63/3, Rahul (21 not out) and Axar (17 not out) showed calmness and resolve to ensure India suffered no more setbacks till tea arrived.
The duo, especially Rahul, who made 86 in the first innings, hold the key for India to get another 136 runs for taking a 1-0 lead over England in the five-game series. The second session began sedately before Rohit smashed two boundaries off Mark Wood – with the second one coming after it dropped short of Zak Crawley at second slip.
