India (IND) vs England (ENG) Live Cricket Score 3rd Test Day 2: After wrapping up England’s innings at 112 and ending the opening day at 99 for 3, India will look to overcome the 13-run deficit first, before going on to get a handy lead at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rohit Sharma batted handsomely for his unbeaten 57 on Wednesday and will look to convert his start into a massive hundred. For England getting early wickets will be the key.

Hello and welcome to our Day 2 coverage of the pink-ball Test between India and England from the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After dismissing England for 112, India finished their Day 1 on 99/3.

Are England out of the Test match?

“After getting bundled out for 112 England are obviously out of race for World Test chamionship fina,” said Sunil Gavaksar yesterday. India are just 13 runs behind now. Batting in the 4th innings will be tough but India look set to take a handy leave. India will look to score most of their runs under natural light. Spin has been the boss in the match till now and England have come into the match with just one of that kind. The first 30 minutes are going to very crucial for the visitors.

Fans have returned to the Stadium, but this fan wants more

During the final session of Day 1, a fan breched the security at the world’s largest cricket stadium and headed staright towards Virat Kohli. Kohli shrugged off before smiling. The fan left unescorted, guess he understood the sensitivity of the matter.

India’s dropped opener hits a List A double hundred

Prithvi Shaw, the dropped opener from India Test squad, has issued a gentle reminder to the selectors. Just 700 kms away from Ahmedabad, Shaw hit a double hundred off 142 balls against Puducherry in Jaipur. He hasn’t been included in the squad for T20I series as well. He will look to feature in the 3-match ODI series.

Rohit: The Man For India

Rohit Sharma is a special, special batsman and can make other batsmen around look below average from time to time. On a day where 13 wickets fell, Rohit Sharma exhibited batting of the highest order. Still can’t get over that backfoot punch off Archer through points and cover region. He is unbeaten on 57 and and all we want is a hundred from. This Thursday, we will have something to ‘throwback’ on some other Thursday.

Where is the consistency? The Players want to know

Virat Kohli, Joe Root and others continue to express their disagreement for the decisions coming from the upstairs. The third-umpire used the technology and decalred Rohit Sharma not-out moments ahead of the end of day’s play but the same old drama of a captain arguing with the on-field umpire unfurled after it. Why to bother the on-field umpire if someone else made the decision?

Day 2 at the breathtaking Narendra Modi Stadium!

An action-packed Wednesday saw the fall of as many as 13 wickets. England were bundled out for 112! That too after winning the toss! Can’t blame the toss or wicket here we reckon! Ishant Sharma opned the floodgates in his 100th Test match and the local boy made sure to wreck havoc, he took 6 wickets for just 38 runs.
