India's Riveting Comeback Keeps Series Alive
India's bowlers held off England's onslaught on day two of the final test, trimming the deficit and gaining a slight lead by the end of the day. India's Yashasvi Jaiswal's aggressive batting enlivens the match, keeping hopes alive for India to level the series.
In a thrilling day of cricket, India's bowlers shackled England's batsmen, keeping the visitors in the game on day two of the final test. After England threatened to take control, Zac Crawley and Ben Duckett put up a strong opening partnership of 92 runs. However, India's resilient bowling team dismantled England's lineup, securing a 23-run lead for the hosts.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's dynamic batting was a highlight, ending with an unbeaten 51 as India closed at 75-2, sitting 52 runs ahead. Gus Atkinson's performance stood out with five wickets in his test return since May. England's early exuberance, illustrated by Ben Duckett's reverse hook, quickly faded as India clawed back into the contest.
With England's dominant start, including a record quickest opening partnership in test history, India remained unperturbed. Siraj and Krishna's pivotal wickets brought the match's momentum back toward India, as they aimed to square the series. Saturday promises an exhilarating continuation as fans anticipate more on-field fireworks.
