1st Test: Rahul, Jadeja Power India Into Taking The First-innings Lead Over England
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: KL Rahul fell 14 runs short of his century while Ravindra Jadeja was rock-solid in his unbeaten 45 as the duo powered India into taking a first-innings lead of 63 runs in the first Test against England at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday.
At tea on day two, India have reached 309/5 in 76 overs, with the second session bringing them 87 runs in 26 overs, despite losing Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. Giving Jadeja company is wicketkeeper KS Bharat, who’s unbeaten on nine as India still have the advantage with five wickets in hand.
Just like the morning session, England began the afternoon session with a wicket. Leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed had Iyer slog-sweeping a googly straight to deep mid-wicket. But Rahul continued to build on his good work in the morning, cutting and sweeping the leg-spinner for fours.
