2nd Test: Akash, Siraj Strike As England Left At 72/3 In Mammoth Chase Of 608
After Nitish Kumar Reddy: Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj struck thrice with the new ball as India increased their control on proceedings to leave England at 72/3 at stumps on the fourth day of the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at Edgbaston here on Saturday.
England were set a daunting chase of 608 when India declared their second innings on 427/6, with skipper Shubman Gill leading from the front with a majestic 161, after hitting a masterly 269 in the first innings. He was well-supported by K.L. Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Ravindra Jadeja, hitting half-centuries respectively.
Just like how it happened in England’s first innings, Akash and Siraj continued their new ball onslaught to leave England’s top order in tatters. With Harry Brook and Ollie Pope unbeaten on 15 and 24 respectively, England now need 536 more runs to win on Day Five, while India require seven wickets for what would be a fabulous series-levelling victory, provided rain stays away.
