ENG vs IND 5th Test Day 2:

India: 224 and 75/2 (Second Innings)

England: 247

India lead by 52 runs

Team India has started to create something from the scrap. When they got bundled for only 224, supported by another batting collapse in the series, the possibility of a brutal defeat came into the equation. 

The fightback showcased by Jasprit Bumrah-less Indian bowling attack was remarkable. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna took 4 wickets each, and Akash Deep took one.

England could not hold the momentum set by their openers, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett. Harry Brook scored another Test fifty. England got a lead by only 23 runs. Before the stumps of Day 2 of the England vs. India 5th Test, the visiting side has taken the lead by 52 runs. The freshness of the green surface has started to drop, and India will try to utilize the conditions to get a healthy lead on Day 3.

They already lost a couple of top-order batters—KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan—in the second innings with 75 runs on the board. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal remained solid on the track and will try to continue from 51*. He'll be accompanied by Akash Deep, the night watchman.

The surprising entries of Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson so far have done their parts brilliantly. In the first innings, Atkinson got 5, and Tongue went for three Team India batters. They already opened their accounts in the fresh innings of the game. On a slightly old surface, the contest between India batters and England bowlers will be more interesting to watch.
