The ongoing Test series between India and England is proving the required entertainment for the fans. In the nail-biting match, India lost the first test by a small margin. This gave visitors an early lead in the five-test series. The second test started on an interesting note.

Team India led by Rohit Sharma is looking strong in the second test. India ended day two of the match on a high note as it had a lead of over 170. Thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal's heroics, India went very close to the 400 mark. He scored a magnificent double century making him the third youngest to score a double ton in the long format.

When other players could not score big runs he stood tall and scored a double century, which paved the way for India's big score. Had Yashasvi Jaiswal not scored the big runs, India would have been in the middle of all sorts of troubles. He was the star of the Indian team in the test.

In response, England started the innings strongly. But the Indian bowlers breathed fire on the field and restricted England to 253 giving a lead of 143 runs to India. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed a six-fer. With this Bumrah became the fastest Indian bowler to reach the 150 wickets mark in Test cricket.

Bumrah once again proved why he is the best in the business with his variations. Out of all the wicket-taking deliveries, the one he bowled to Ollie Pope was stunning. The yorker went through his difference and took the stump for a flier.

India is looking very strong with a lead of 171 runs. Rohit Sharma and Jaiswal are in the crease and they will continue batting tomorrow. Even if the Indian batting lineup manages to score at least 400, then we can say the match is ours.
