Yashasvi Jaiswal's Stellar Performance Bolsters India's Lead Against England

Yashasvi Jaiswal led India's batting effort with an unbeaten score of 51, guiding the team to 75/2 at the end of the second day of the fifth Test against England. This performance has given India a significant 52-run lead.

The team lost openers KL Rahul, who scored 7, and Sai Sudharsan, who made 11, but Jaiswal's aggressive strategy effectively erased the 23-run first-innings deficit. He maintained composure at the crease, finishing the day alongside night watchman Akash Deep, who is 4 not out.

England managed to post 247 in their first innings, a slight lead over India's 224. However, remarkable bowling efforts from Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, who took four wickets each, prevented England from capitalizing further.
