India take 2-0 lead against England in five-match series

Afterwards England captain Alastair Cook revealed that Hameed would be returning home for an operation to have a plate inserted in his injured hand. Ashwin departed for 72 but Jadeja carried on and added another 80 runs with Jayant Yadav for the 8-wicket, scoring a career-best 90 runs in the process.

Haseeb Hameed posted a half-century in hard conditions to remain unbeaten on 59 and help take England past the 200-run mark. India go 2-0 up in the series. Haseeb Hameed and Chris Woakes put on a sold partnership of 43 runs to increase visitors lead but Mohammad Shami dismissed the latter and Rashid in one over. What we did is we showed good character to drag ourselves back in but in this part of the world you need a big score, certainly on a wicket like that. Parthiv followed his plucky 42 from the first innings with his 5th half-century in Tests and made a serious case in point to be considered for the next Test.

It’s time for tea.

England though can take positives from Ben Stokes’ five-wicket haul in India’s first innings, while leg-spinner Adil Rashid is the leading wicket-taker in the series with 17 scalps. Parthiv Patel was 16 not out, while Cheteshwar Pujara was unbeaten on 13.

Murali Vijay was the other wicket to fall for India.

Run out! James Anderson is dismissed. Kohli had entered the best-of-five series against England at 15th place on the ICC List and has soared on the basis of 405 runs so far.

The hosts finished at 104-2 in 20.2 overs, chasing down the 103-run target with resolute ease.

Hameed, showing no obvious signs of pain despite having had an x-ray the previous evening, was soon predictably tested by the short ball as Kohli summoned Shami.

WICKET! Jos Buttler stay in the middle comes to an end. He tried to whack Jayant Yadav over the long-on but failed as Jadeja takes a neat catch near the boundary rope. In the second over of the day, Gareth Batty (0) was trapped LBW by Ravindra Jadeja (2-62).

Even in their second outing, the English top half fell apart at 78-4 on the evening of day three with batsmen forced to bat up the order after an injury to teenage opener Haseeb Hameed.

As Kohli joined him at the other end, Patel continued to go after the England bowlers to end up with 11 boundaries and a six, and India won in dominant fashion.
