After a remarkable comeback on Day 1, India wrapped the English innings early on Day 2 of the first Test at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham.
Here are the live updates from Day 2:
#Wicket!! Shami swings the ball away from Sam Curran and Dinesh Karthik takes a comfortable catch. England are all out for 287
The hosts looked set to a competitive target after Joe Root (80) notched up his 12th half-century successive half-century against India and shared a 104-run partnership with Jonny Bairstow (70). However, a fiery throw from skipper Virat Kohli had Joe Root run out and India capitalised to take five more wickets as they restricted England to 285/9 on Day 1.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who picked up four crucial wickets, was the pick of the Indian bowlers. He turned a ripper to rattle opener Alastair Cook’s (13) off stump early in the innings and forced Root and Jennings to put their foot forward and defend. The off-spinner fought back in the third and final session to dismiss Ben Stokes (21), Jos Buttler (0) and Stuart Broad (1) cheaply as he finished with figures of 4 for 60.
