Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant counter-attacked the English bowlers after opener KL Rahul (129 runs off 250 balls) and Ajinkya Rahane (1 run off 23 balls) departed early. Pacers Ollie Robinson and James Anderson gave England massive breakthroughs on the second day in the second Test at Lord’s. Rishabh Pant was batting on 28 not out and Ravindra Jadeja was in the middle at 9 as India were placed at 313/5 after 104.4 overs. Earlier, Rahul added two century plus stands, with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, during his stay at the crease. Rohit missed out on his maiden overseas Test century by just 17 runs as he was castled by veteran pacer James Anderson for 83. At Stumps on Day 1 yesterday, India were 276 for three as Ollie Robinson dismissed India captain Virat Kohli just before the end of day’s play. (LIVE SCORECARD)
