IND vs ENG, Day 4 Live: Responsibility on Pujara & Rahane to carry on India’s innings; IND 105/3; Follow Live updates- England pacer Mark Wood dismissed India opening batters Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul while Sam Curran sent Virat Kohli back to the pavilion as the visitors were put on the back foot in the opening session of Day 4 of the ongoing second Test here at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Sunday.
At lunch break on Day 4, India’s score read 56/3 with Cheteshwar Pujara (3*) and Ajinkya Rahane (1*) currently unbeaten at the crease. The visitors have extended their lead to 29 runs. Indian openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma put on 18 runs for the first wicket, but the partnership was finally broken in the 10th over as Mark Wood sent Rahul (5) back to the pavilion. Rohit Sharma (21) might have dispatched Mark Wood for a six while playing a pull shot, but the same led to his dismissal in the very same over and India was reduced to 27/2.
IND vs ENG LIVE Score 2nd Test Day 4: 1st session, 3rd Hour: Rahane & Pujara under pressure to deliver; IND 71/3, lead by 44.
- Rahane smashes a 4 off Robinson. His first after 33 balls.

- Rahane in 2021: Match: 9, Inn: 15, Runs: 273, Avg: 19.50, 50/100: 1/0. Even though he is India’s top-scorer in WTC-1, his recent poor forms is a big concern.
- Pujara in 2021: Match 9, Innings: 16, Runs: 395, Avg: 28.21, Strike rate: 31.10, 50/100: 4/0. He is struggling and needs a big knock.
- Pujara and Rahane are off to a slow start. While that was expected to put up a big target, India need to score quickly. Perhaps, sending Rishabh up the order in place of Rahane would have been better?
- Pujara and Rahane will have to be their best to anchor India. Both are struggling with their forms.

IND vs ENG LIVE Day 2 Stumps: Siraj’s quick wickets put India in command but Joe Root still on crease; ENG 119/3
IND vs ENG LIVE: Joe Root unbeaten 48 and Roy Burns’ gutsy 49-knock helped England to claw their way back against India on the second day of the 2nd Test here at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Friday.
IND vs ENG LIVE Score Day 2 Stumps: At stumps, England’s score read 119/3 as they trail by 245 runs with Joe Root(48*) and Jonny Bairstow(6*) currently unbeaten at the crease after 45 overs. Resuming the final session, Mohammed Siraj provided a dream start for the Indian team in his first over after Tea as he took two successive wickets of Dom Sibley and Haseeb Hameed.
In a replay of his Trent Bridge dismissal, Sibley flicked a length ball on the pads in the air to the waiting short midwicket. Then, on the next delivery which was full and straight from Siraj, the England number three – Haseeb – simply missed as the ball clattered into his stumps for the golden duck.
IND vs ENG LIVE Score Day 2 Stumps: England captain Joe Root then took matters into his hands and with opener Burns, he started rebuilding for the hosts. Root then soon went past Graham Gooch’s 8,900 runs as the 2nd highest run-scorer for England in Tests just behind legendary Alastair Cook.
Indian pacers bowled a tight line and length, but Burns and Root were up to the task as England went past the 100 run mark after 38th over of their innings.
In the additional last half hour of the play in the day, it was Mohammad Shami who speared one into the pads of Burns from around the wicket to give India a crucial breakthrough in the game. England opener walked to the pavilion for 49 off 136. Bairstow and Root then made sure to walk England into day three without losing any further wickets.
IND vs ENG LIVE Score Day 2 Stumps: At Tea, England’s score read 23/0 after 14 overs with Rory Burns(11*) and Dom Sibley(11*) unbeaten on the crease. The second session witnessed the English bowlers wrapping up the wagging Indian tail in a quick manner for the score of 364 as India lost eight wickets for just 97 runs.
IND vs ENG LIVE Score Day 2 Stumps: Earlier on Day 2, after KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma set the stage with 129 and 84 respectively, Team India were looking at a big 1st innings total but it was India’s middle-order that disappointed big time as India were bowled out for 364. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja played their part but could not cross the 400-run mark. James Anderson was the most successful England bowler with yet another five-wicket haul.
Day 1 summary: Rahul scored unbeaten 127 and became the 10th Indian to score a century at Lord’s. Rahul & Rohit Sharma’s brilliant innings of 83 were the headline of Day 1 at Lord’s. India finished day 1 at 276/3.
IND vs ENG LIVE Score Day 2: 3rd Session, 7th hour: England 119/3
- Siraj with the last over of the day and Jonny Bairstow survives.
- Siraj’s brilliant ball touches Bairstow’s pads and Pant with the catch. Siraj is off celebrating but the umpire denies the appeal.
- Jonny Bairstow comes in after Shami sends Rory Burns back.
- WICKET! Shami back in attack and gets Rory Burns for 49. An important wicket breaks the crucial partnership.

IND vs ENG LIVE Score Day 2: Session 1, 2nd hour: Lunch IND 346/7
- Ravindra Jadeja pulls Mark Wood for a 4. He moves to 31 but will need to stay longer to take India across the 400-run mark.
- Responsibility on Ravindra Jadeja to carry India’s innings forward. But he is under pressure with India’s lower-order comprising mainly bowlers to come next.
- WICKET! Mohammed Shami departs. Another two wickets in quick succession. Moeen Ali gets a wicket. IND 336/7
- WICKET! Rishabh Pant departs after a strong start. It’s his immaturity or impatience, difficult to say but he has thrown his wicket away to Mark Wood, who has been struggling the entire match. An innocent poke and Pant departs on 37.
- Moeen Ali manages a bit of turn but it beats Rishabh Pant, wicketkeeper and even Joe Root at 1st slip. Meanwhile, Jadeja and Pant are closing in on a 50-run stand.
- As Sam Curran and Mark Wood failed to make a dent in India’s batting, Joe Root has introduced Moeen Ali for his 14th over of the match. However, so far with no help from the pitch, it hasn’t yielded any result.
- Among England bowlers, James Anderson has looked the best even on Day 2. He has troubled both Rishabh Pant and Jadeja. But against Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson and Sam Curran, Rishabh Pant has shown no mercy, stepping out, pulling them and driving them for 4s.
- After early blows in KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja have steadied India’s ship. While Rishabh has played some unorthodox shots, Jadeja has looked steady and has scored rather slowly.
