Highlights | IND VS ENG Day 2, 1st Test Cricket Score and Updates: India Dominate Day 2 With 175 Runs Lead

India Vs England Day 2, 1st Test Highlights: Cricket Scorecard and Updates: India dominates day two against England with stellar batting, Joe Root's spin shines; questions arise if England has been batted out already.

In a remarkable batting display, India seized control on day two of the test against England. Eight of their nine batters notched starts, with three reaching the 80s and forming five substantial partnerships. While England deployed three spinners, it was former skipper Joe Root who shone brightest, claiming crucial wickets and applying pressure. Despite Indian batsmen falling to aggressive shots, the team sits in a commanding position. The southpaws from Gujarat are particularly impressive as India's lead approaches 200. The question now lingers: Have India already batted England out of the contest, and how will England's Bazball fare in the second innings? The remainder of the match promises to be an exciting battle for supremacy.

"The 100 in SA has given me some confidence, also having played 6-7 months of cricket since my injury. The aim was to stay positive when I went out to bat. Very different to that of South Africa (on the pitch) - a bit of turn, it became slower and slower as the ball went old. Was a challenge, I had to wait for my opportunity to play shots. Enjoying batting in the middle-order. I did enjoy batting in the top-order for a long time, but here you get some time to put your feet up, watch as to how the ball is doing, what the bowlers are doing and it gives time to plan your innings. It's only the second day, we just wanted to bat the full day and get as many runs as possible (on the team plan). The chat was to bat as long as possible and everyone to bat and score as many runs as we could."
