2nd Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal Hits Unbeaten 62 As India Reach 98/2 At Lunch Against England
With Josh Tongue: Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his good run in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series by hitting an unbeaten 62 as India made 98/2 in 25 overs at lunch on day one of the second Test against England at a sunny Edgbaston on Wednesday.
It was a session of two halves for India after being pushed into batting first by England skipper Ben Stokes. A magnificent Chris Woakes took out KL Rahul, before Jaiswal passed a tough examination, including being 16 off 34 balls at one point, to notch up his 11th Test fifty and build a stand of 80 runs with Karun Nair for the second wicket.
Though Nair fell to a snorter from Brydon Carse, Jaiswal, who scored a century at Headingley, and skipper Shubman Gill (one not out) should look to capitalise once the ball becomes older in the second session. With very little movement on offer for seamers, Jaiswal absolutely hammered Carse for a punch through point and drive through cover.
