India dominated England on Day 1 of the second Test at Lord’s. They were 276/3 at stumps, with K.L. Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane still in the middle, on 127 and 1 respectively.
Rahul and Rohit Sharma (83) got India off to a solid start, adding 126 for the opening wicket, after Joe Root won the toss and put India into bat. Just before tea, James Anderson (2-52) dismissed Rohit and Cheteshwar Pujara (9) in quick time to bring England back into the contest.
Rahul then took charge and stitched a 117-run stand with Virat Kohli (42). During this partnership, he notched up his sixth Test hundred to help India gain control by the close of play. Had Ollie Robinson (1-47) not got the wicket of Kohli with the second new ball, India could have ended the day with a better finish.
Betway Fantasy Tips
