Only 64.4 overs of play was possible as bad light forced the umpire to call off play early on Day 2 at Southampton. Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane have added an unbeaten 58 runs for the fourth wicket after India lost their top three batters for just 88.
Kohli is unbeaten on 44, while Rahane, who struggled in the beginning, has moved to 29. Earlier, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill provided India with a decent start, adding 62 for the opening wicket.
Trent Boult and Tim Southee were uncharacteristically ordinary in their opening spell, and never posed enough questions to the Indian openers. Both played some enchanting strokes before Rohit was undone by Kyle Jamieson. Gill, too, departed a few minutes later, edging one to BJ Watling.
