Ind vs Eng: Solid Rohit Sharma, Majestic KL Rahul put India in driver’s seat at Lunch on Day 2
Rohit Sharma falls in final over before lunch for 36
Nottingham: A solid opening partnership between KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma has put the Indian team in the driver’s seat on lunch on day 2 of the first test match against England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Rohit Sharma fell on the stroke of lunch while attempting a pull shot and handing a soft catch to the fielder on the fine leg.
The openers who remained not out at the end of day 1 after the Indian seamers ran through the England line-up, continued batting with good intent after a defensive first hour.
The English bowlers although troubled the two in the first few overs with a few play and misses but couldn’t grab any luck to break through the partnership before managing the first wicket in the 38th over of the inning.
While Rohit remained solid in his defense and watchful in his shot, Rahul played quite freely and majestically drove through the off-side for a few boundaries.
Going into Lunch on Day 2 India’s scorecard read 97-1 with Rahul batting on 48 and Rohit falling after a well-made 36.
Earlier on Day 1, Indian bowlers had bundled out England on 183, triggering a collapse after the host looked confident at 138-3 at one stage.
