India resumed their innings at 276/3 but a collapse saw them manage only 364 in their first innings. In response, England registered 119 in their 90 overs to put the game evenly in balance. The conditions were largely sunny on Day 2, making it far more conducive for batting than during the 1st Test at Trent Bridge and the first few hours of Day 1 at Lord’s.

IND vs ENG Day 1 – Rain Interupts but doesn’t disrupt the DAY 1
Day 1 was interrupted by a few spots of rain here and there but play was largely unaffected as England did eventually send down their full quota of 90 overs at Lord’s. The conditions were mostly overcast, a slight drizzle delayed the start before action resumed ad India had to take early lunch due to rain. Since then, it has been smooth sailing with no stoppage, as Virat Kohli and Co. cruised to 276/3 on Day 1, on the back of a KL Rahul century and Rohit Sharma’s classy 83.
