Openers Alastair Cook (21 not out) and Keaton Jennings (20 not out) provided England with a solid start as the hosts were 46 without any loss at lunch on Day 2 of the Trent Bridge Test. Both the openers looked solid against the likes of Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah in overcast conditions. Just before the break, skipper Virat Kohli tried Ravichandran Ashwin but the off-spinner couldn't manage to get the much-needed breakthrough. Earlier, in the first hour of the play, India got bundled out for 329 runs. Resuming on their overnight total of 307 for the loss of six wickets, the lower order could only add up 22 more runs before the pace duo of Broad and Anderson wrapped them up. Stuart Broad, clinched the first wicket of the second day as Rishabh Pant (24) dragged a full length ball on to the stumps. Ravichandran Ashwin (14) followed him soon, getting cleaned up by the Stuart Broad. James Anderson did the rest by cleaning up the tail for England. England still trail by 283 runs in the first innings. (LIVE SCORECARD)

14:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live updates of the third Test, day 2 play between India and England.
India captain Virat Kohli missed his century by three runs but had the satisfaction of leading an India batting revival on the first day of the third Test against England at Trent Bridge on Saturday. At stumps, India were 307 for six after losing the toss. A day of fluctuating fortunes ended when James Anderson, England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker, struck with the new ball to have Hardik Pandya (18) caught by Jos Buttler at second slip. That meant Anderson, who prior to this match had 60 Test wickets at Trent Bridge at just 18.95, had become only the second bowler after Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan to take 100 Test wickets against India.
Earlier India, sent in to bat at 2-0 down in a five-match series on a ground renowned for aiding swing, were in trouble at 82 for three come lunch. Chris Woakes took all those wickets en route to figures of three for 75 in 20 overs. But a fourth-wicket partnership of 159 between Kohli (97) and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane (81), that spanned more than 40 overs, revived India. Unfortunately for India, neither batsman reached three figures with Kohli -- who made a brilliant first Test century in England in the series opener at Edgbaston -- dismissed when he edged an intended drive off an Adil Rashid leg-break to Ben Stokes at slip.

30.6 overs
WEngland- 118/7
Pandya to Woakes, OUT! Snicko shows a spike and Woakes starts walking back. He takes a review along with him, and England are now in dire straits. This is excellent from Pandya. He says enough of the full ones and bangs in a short one. It is a well-directed one as well. It surprises Chris Woakes as he goes for the pull without keeping his eyes on the ball. It seems to have taken the glove and Rishabh Pant behind takes it a jumping one-handed. The Indians appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Chris Woakes walks up to his partner and has a chat. He then goes for the review and replays show there is an edge. Pandya now has a three-fer and the centurion of the last game walks back with a single digit score.
England reached 46 for no loss at lunch after dismissing India for 329 on the second day of the third cricket Test at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Alastair Cook (21) and Keaton Jennings (20) were at the crease at the break. Earlier, India's tail failed to wag as England dismissed the visitors for 329 in their first innings. Resuming at overnight score of 307 for six at Trent Bridge, the remaining four Indian batsmen could add just 22 runs in 7.5 overs as England bowled out the visitors in 94.5 overs. Skipper top-scored for India with 97, while Ajinkya Rahane made 81. For England, James Anderson (3/64), Stuart Broad (3/72) and Chris Woakes (3/75) picked up three wickets apiece.
3rd Test Day 2 Scorecard: India first innings
In Pics: Session 2 Highlights
Day 2: First Session report
India's opening pacers (0/23) and Jasprit Burmah (0/16) lost control of the proceedings as the English openers weathered the first couple of overs to score at 5-run an over thereafter.
The Indian slip cordon helped them as Jennings edged through the vacant fourth slip when he was on 1.
Bumrah bowled a predominantly leg stump line and failed to exert himself, while Shami gave away width as the ball didn't swing much early on despite cloud cover.
Earlier, play was delayed by 30 minutes due to morning rain.
Thereafter, all eyes were on youngster (24) but he only added two runs to his overnight score as Broad worked him over with angled deliveries.
Pant played on in the fifth over of the day, and afterwards India's tail threw in the towel quickly.
Broad also accounted for (14) who was bowled with an incoming delivery that ricocheted onto the stumps off his pads.
Ashwin had earlier been left off on nought when Jos Buttler ducked under a catch at slip, and then again on 13 when Olliver Pope dropped him at fourth slip.
Shami (3) and Bumrah (0) hardly provided any resistance as Anderson cleaned them up off successive deliveries in the 95th over.
Shami just went for a skier, while Bumrah presented absolutely no defence as India's long tail failed to wag again.
Even so, this was India's highest total on English soil after being put into bat. The Indians had earlier scored 295 at Lord's in 2014.

The had the best day so far in the ongoing Test series as captain and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane shared a brilliant 159-run partnership, before England clawed their way back in a riveting first day of the third Test match at Trent Bridge. In overcast conditions and a pitch that offered an even contest between bat and ball, openers KL Rahul (23) and Dhawan (35) made a cautious start as India batted with discipline. The duo shared a 60-run stand before the latter was dismissed by English pacer Chris Woakes. Woakes then accounted for Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara (14) and India stumbled to 82 for 3 after 27 overs, and were staring at yet another chance of a batting collapse. However, Kohli (97) and Rahane (81) were watchful from the beginning, leaving deliveries that were swaying away from them. The duo displayed a picture of calmness and were excellent in running between the wickets, as India steadied the ship and put England in a spot of bother. Both Kohli and Rahane looked at ease against spin and pace and played glorious shots to put India in a commanding stage. The two players scored 23 boundaries between them and registered their fifties respectively. England tried all their tricks and plans to separate Kohli and Rahane, but were always thwarted by the duo. India were in a comfortable position at tea. Meanwhile, Rahane, who scored 3,000 Test runs in the process, got a life on 57, when James Anderson failed to take a blinder at point off Woakes. However, the relief was short lived as the 30-year-old Mumbai batsman played a similar shot, wherein Alastair Cook pulled off a one-handed catch, eventually being dismissed for a well-made 81. Kohli (97) looked in sublime touch and was on course to reach his 23rd Test century, when he decided to go downtown and played a rash shot, resulting in a thick edge towards Ben Stokes at slip. The skipper missed his ton by just three runs. Day 1 Highlights The year 2018 has been tough for Ajinkya Rahane. During the South Africa tour, he was dropped for the first Test match in favour of Rohit Sharma. In the final test against Proteas he did make 48 runs but failed score in lone test against Afghanistan. He did not have much to show for his efforts in the first two Tests against England. On most of the occasions, he needlessly got out after being set. The lack of runs from overseas specialist was hurting India's chances. In fact, before this Test, he had not crossed a fifty-plus score since the century against Sri Lanka in 2017. Before the Test match, Ravi Shastri had asked the batsmen to be ready to play ugly cricket to be successful. Rahane took the advice seriously and did the same. Once he had a measure of the bowlers and the conditions, everything started to fall in place for him. Most of his boundaries were scored in the point region. It never looked as if he was out of form. He even outscored Kohli.In the history of Tests, Pant becomes only the 12th player to open their account with a six. He is also only the third player after New Zealand's Mark Craig (first ball) and Australia's Eric Freeman (2nd ball) to hit a 6 as their 1st scoring shot within the first 2 balls they faced.Virat Kohli overtakes Sourav Ganguly as the highest run scoring Indian captain outside India. Sourav Ganguly previously held the record with 1,693 runs from 28 matches at an average of 43 with three centuries and 11 fifties.Virat Kohli is now in second on the list of Indian captains with most fifty-plus scores in England. He has eight such scores across all formats, only MS Dhoni (10) has more.Kohli’s 97 in the first innings of Notttingham test was the second occasion when he got out in nervous nineties. Earlier, in 2013 he got out for 96 against South Africa.
Here is the playing 11 of both the teams:
India playing 11: Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, (w), Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah
England playing 11: Alastair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Joe Root (c), Ollie Pope, Jonny Bairstow (w), Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Stuart Broad, James Anderson

IND vs ENG, 3RD TEST, DAY 2 LIVE UPDATES FROM TRENT BRIDGE:
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second day of the third Test between India and England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. England end an excellent morning session on Day 2! First it was their two premium bowlers who took two each and kept India under 350. Then their openers, under testing conditions, not only head into the break wicket-less but scored ever so fluently. They were also helped by the visitors' bowlers who were very poor, bowled too many short deliveries and paid the price for it. The hosts now trail by 283 and they would hope the current pair to continue the way they have been batting. Also, they would hope for the sun to come out, just like it did for the away side yesterday. That would make batting easier. The Asian side on the other hand, will try and bowl better after the break and hope to get a few early scalps. On Day 1 , India captain Virat Kohli fell three runs short of a century as India produced an improved batting display to reach 307/6 at stumps. Here you can find all the live cricket score, live match updates, IND vs ENG Cricket Scores Online, Nottingham Test score and much more. It is an action-packed day at Trent Bridge so don't miss out on any of the action. (
20.25 IST: OUT! Hardik Pandya removes Broad for 0. England 128/9, trail India (329) by 201 runs in Nottingham.
20.21 IST: Stuart Broad walks out to the middle.
20.20 IST: OUT! Hardik Pandya removes Adil Rashid for 5. Maiden four-fer for Pandya in Tests! He is relishing the conditions out there. Wickets on consecutive balls for him. Lovely stuff again. He has really found his length and line today. He bowls it around off, just behind the fuller length. Once again it swings away. Rashid tries to defend inside the line. The ball kisses the outside edge of the bat and settles into the mitts of Pant who is having a dream debut with the gloves. His fifth catch and the end now is nigh for England. Hat-trick ball coming up. England 128/8, trail India (329) by 201 runs in Nottingham.
20.17 IST: FOUR! Wrong line from Shami. Angles this length ball a bit too much towards the batsman's pads. Rashid nudges it to the fine leg boundary for a four.
20.15 IST: FOUR! Bowls it very full on the off stump. Looking for some swing, but gets none. Buttler plants his front foot forwards and drives it crisply and beats mid off to his right and crosses the boundary ropes.
20.14 IST: Adil Rashid comes in for a bat.
20.13 IST: OUT! Hardik Pandya removes Woakes for 8. Snicko shows a spike and Woakes starts walking back. He takes a review along with him, and England are now in dire straits. This is excellent from Pandya. He says enough of the full ones and bangs in a short one. It is a well-directed one as well. It surprises Chris Woakes as he goes for the pull without keeping his eyes on the ball. It seems to have taken the glove and Rishabh Pant behind takes it a jumping one-handed. The Indians appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Chris Woakes walks up to his partner and has a chat. He then goes for the review and replays show there is an edge. Pandya now has a three-fer and the centurion of the last game walks back with a single digit score. England 118/7, trail India (329) by 211 runs in Nottingham.
20.11 IST: Woakes has been given caught behind! He though goes for the review, not immediately though. Strange as a batsman most of the times knows whether he has hit it or not and had he not, he would have gone for it straightaway.
20.10 IST: FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries! This is delightful! Full again by Pandya, no swing on offer, Woakes strokes it past covers and the ball races away.
20.09 IST: FOUR! Streaky! Fuller in length on off, Woakes tries to drive but the ball takes the outside edge and goes through backward point for a boundary.
20.08 IST: Chris Woakes is the next batsman. Can he repeat what he did in the last match?
20.07 IST: OUT! Hardik Pandya removes Bairstow for 15. Another one bites the dust! Hardik Pandya is silencing his critics in some style. He gets his second and India are all over England now. This is another top nut. The outswinger on a fuller length around off, Bairstow tries to drive but his feet are rooted to the crease. The ball takes the edge and goes into the hands of Rahul who takes his third catch of the innings. England 110/6, trail India (329) by 219 runs in Nottingham.
20.02 IST: Jos Butler comes in to bat next. He hasn't had a good series so far. Can he make amends today?
20.01 IST: OUT! Shami removes Stokes for 10. EDGED AND TAKEN! England have half the side back in the hut and they still trail by another 221 runs. Ben Stokes' poor form with the bat continues. Shami gets a wicket and boy didn't he need that? He bends his back on this one and bowls it just behind a length on off, Stokes is squared up as he tries to block it but the ball takes the outside edge and goes at a comfortable height to Rahul at second slip. He takes it without any doubt this time. England 108/5, trail India (329) by 221 runs in Nottingham.
19.56 IST: EDGY FOUR! Pandya is really bowling well here. He bowls this very full and on off, it shapes away. Bairstow goes for the booming drive but the ball takes the outside edge and goes through gully for a boundary.
19.50 IST: Ben Stokes NOT OUT! Umpire's call and India retain the review! A very good one by the visiting side. Pandya steams in and bowls it fuller on middle, Stokes walks down the wicket and goes for the flick but misses to get hit on the pads. Hardik starts appealing, he actually is pleading as he falls over in doing so. The umpire shakes his head. Virat has a chat with his teammates and they go for the review. Replays roll in and it shows the ball to be clipping the off pole. Excellent decision in the end by the umpire.
19.48 IST: A huge appeal for an LBW has been turned down. Stokes is the man in question and India have gone for the review. Pitching could be an issue here.
19.45 IST: Meanwhile, Bajrang Punia has won India's first gold in the wrestling event at the Asian Games 2018. (Read full story)
19.41 IST: FOUR! On a length around off, Stokes comes down the track to negate the swing and does well to hit it wide of the fielder at short square leg. The ball manages to touch the boundary. Stokes takes England closer to 100 with this boundary.
19.39 IST: FOUR! Not convincing but every run is handy. Short and outside off, Stokes slashes at it, he gets a thick outside edge through backward point and the ball races away.
19.35 IST: Ben Stokes comes out to bat.
19.34 IST: OUT! Hardik Pandya removes Root for 16. Is what the big screen flashes and Root has been given his marching orders. The crowd is not happy at all and nor is Root as he shakes his head while walking off. The soft signal played a big role in this being given out as it could have gone either way. India though won't care as they have the talisman of the English batting line-up and they get him cheaply. Hardik Pandya delivers straight away. He bowls it on a back of a length around off, it pitches and straightens. Root goes back and tries to defend but the ball takes the outside edge and goes low towards Rahul at second slip. He seems to have taken it and starts celebrating. Root waits there. The umpires have a chat and then take it upstairs. The soft signal is OUT. Time for the replays and several ones, it is ruled in the favour of the visiting side. The Indians are ecstatic as they are right on top now. England trail by another 243 runs. England 86/4, trail India (329) by 243 runs in Nottingham.
19.32 IST: Has that carried? huge moment in the game. Rahul certainly feels he has taken it but Root wants the umpires to have a look. They do go upstairs and the soft signal is out.
19.31 IST: Hardik Pandya comes in for a spell.
19.30 IST: Drinks! So, after a lousy start with the ball, the Men in Blue have managed to bring the game back in their corner with three quick wickets. The home team have their skipper, Joe Root, grinding out in the middle. The next hour is crucial for both the teams. Let's see who will end the day on top.
19.28 IST: Mohammed Shami to Jonny Bairstow, no run. Nice tight, in the corridor of uncertainty. Jonny presents the full face of the willow and defends it.
19.22 IST: Mohammad Shami is back on. He was wayward in his first spell, Kohli would be hoping for a better spell by him. Also, the two substitutes are off the field and Ashwin and Pujara are back on the field. With Ashwin coming back on, are we in for a double change in the bowling? Well, might be as Bumrah now looks like running out of gas.
19.20 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Jonny Bairstow, no ball. Oversteps. Bumrah, may be in trying to put in that extra efforts, goes a bit ahead and delivers a No Ball. He digs it in short and Bairstow ducks under it. Bumrah needs to be more careful.
19.16 IST: Now, Ashwin is seen walking with the physio outside the fence and across the stadium. Still no concrete answers as to what is going on. Is he injured?
19.15 IST: FOUR! Streaky but a boundary. Bairstow gets a fullish ball in line of the stumps and he gives it a whack. The timing is okay and as a result, it goes over Dhawan at short leg with his helmet on.
19.10 IST: Ashwin is practicing in the nets indoors. He hasn't taken the field post Lunch session. What is going on?
19.09 IST: Joe Root Dropped! Edged and falls short. A short of a length ball on off, pitches and nips away. Root looks to defend with a straight bat. The movement away gets the outside edge. But Root has done well to play it with soft hands and hence it bounces short of the man at second slip.
19.07 IST: Ishant Sharma to Jonny Bairstow, no run. Ooh! Everything is happening for Ishant and India here. Another good ball around off, and it moves away just a tad after pitching. Bairstow does well to defend it with a full face of the bat. End of a successful over for the visitors. ENG 75/3 in 20 overs.
19.03 IST: Jonny Bairstow is the new man in.
19.02 IST: OUT! Ishant removes Ollie Pope for 10. Not a nice way to get out but Pope has to go nonetheless. A bouncy delivery tickling the rib cage. Pope tried to work it fine but Sharma's ability to extract bounce off the pitch does him. The ball brushes his glove and Pant takes his third catch diving to his left. England are in a similar position as India, losing three after the opening stand put on a 50-run stand. The visitors are in the driver's seat now. Can they make further inroads in this session? England 75/3, trail India (329) by 254 runs in Nottingham.
18.58 IST: FOUR! Streaky. the English captain is riding his luck here. Ishant keeps it full on off, ball pitches and straightens. gets the outside edge of Root's bat but the ball flies between the keeper and first slip. Did it carry? Rishabh pant is seen moving towards the leg side as soon as Bumrah releases the ball. Due to this he is left wrong-footed when he has to move to his right to take that edge. he does not reach the ball and Root survives. ENG 75/2 in 18.2 overs.
18.52 IST: FOUR! Bad ball Ishant. He goes for the bumper to surprise the batsman may be. But gets his line wrong and strays down leg. Root swivels and pull it very fine. Fine enough of the fielder on the deep fine leg boundaary for a four.
18.45 IST: Ishant Sharma to Joe Root, No run. A bit shorter of length on off. Defended off the front foot, presenting the full face of the bat. ENG 64/2 in 16 overs.
18.32 IST: FOUR! Shot! The balance and the timing on this one is just emasculate. He gets to the full ball with a forward lunge and drives it through cover-point for a boundary.
18.29 IST: Ollie Pope is the next man in.
18.28 IST: OUT! Bumrah removes Jennings for 29. Gone! Two in Two. Bumrah the man this time. India back in the hunt! He again pushed it across Jennings who threw his bat with his feet glued to the crease. The ball kicks off and speeds off the surface, taking the outside edge of the hanging bat of Jennings. Pant makes no mistake in taking his second catch of his Test career. England lose second wicket as India rejoice the breakthrough. England 54/2, trail India (329) by 275 runs in Nottingham.
18.27 IST: In comes Joe Root to the crease.
18.26 IST: OUT! Ishant removes Cook for 29. And the drop has not cost anything. Pujara will be relieved. Ishant gets rewarded for consistently bowling in that area of uncertainty. The away movement, which has troubled Cook until now, again gets a faint outside edge. Pant does not miss this time. India are up and running. England 54/1, trail India (329) by 275 runs in Nottingham.
18.24 IST: FOUR! Cook gets his first boundary after Lunch. Back of a length delivery on off. Cook guides towards the vacant third man region. Cook gets four more.
18.22 IST: Ashwin is out of the field currently and Jadeja has come in as his replacement. Tactics or some rest?
18.16 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to share the attack.
18.15 IST: FOUR! Not totally in control but Cook will take it. Ishant goes wider and shorter this time. Cooks throws his hands at it and gets it in the gap at cover-point. The ball races across and that is the first fifty run opening stand for England in this series. ENG 50/0 in 9.5 overs
18.11 IST: We are back for the afternoon session. Out comes the Indian team. They will dearly want to get some quick wickets. The English openers, Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings, will resume. The former will be on strike. Ishant Sharma is given the new ball. Let's get started.
17.34 IST: England 46/0 at Lunch, trail India (329) by 283 runs in Nottingham. Cook 21*, Jennings 20*. Jasprit Bumrah to Keaton Jennings, no run. Outside off on a length, left alone by KJ. THAT IS LUNCH ON DAY 2.
At Lunch on Day 2 of the 3rd Test, England 46/0, trail India (329) by 283 runs.

17.29 IST: Change of ends for Jasprit Bumrah.
17.26 IST: Ravichandran Ashwin is into the attack.
17.24 IST: FOUR! Streaky again but England won't mind at all. Back of a length outside off, Jennings tries to defend but then the ball takes the outside edge and races to the third man fence. England off to a very good start here. They trail by another 293.
17.20 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Alastair Cook, no ball. Bumrah oversteps and bowls a no ball, first of this Test match. A length ball in line of the stumps, Cook covers the line and blocks. Strange to see a bowler, known to be a shorter format specialist, overstep. If you remember, he bowled a big no ball in the Champions Trophy final and the rest is history.
17.18 IST: FOUR! That's a cracking drive. Bumrah delivers it with a wobbly seam and lands it too full around off. Cook without taking his front foot too forward, drives it crisply through covers.
17.15 IST: Michael Holding (on air) is not too pleased with the way the slip fielders are standing. They are too close to each other, too narrow and they might fail to understand whose catch it is. Fair point.
17.13 IST: FOUR! Well if you offer so much width, Cook will pounce on it. He says thank you very much and slaps it through covers for a boundary.
17.11 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to Keaton Jennings, no run. Howzzat? The answer to that question is not out. On a length around off, this pitches and comes back in. Beats the defense of Jennings and hits him on the pads. The players appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Bumrah indicates it is going down with the angle.
17.10 IST: ENG 16/0 in 4 overs.
17.00 IST: FOUR! EDGY AGAIN! This was in the air for quite a while. Not sure why there was not a dive there. Bumrah almost makes an immediate impact on his return. Back of a length on off, this one straightens. Takes the outside and goes between third slip and gully and into the third man fence.
16.58 IST: Jasprit Bumrah to bowl from the other end.
16.55 IST: Alastair Cook EDGED AND FOUR! England are straightaway underway but this is encouraging signs for the bowler. Shami bowls it a touch short on middle, this one angles away after pitching. Cook tries to defend but gets an outside edge which goes between gully and third slip and into the third man fence.
16.43 IST: India all out for 329 in their first innings against England in Nottingham. Broad 3/72, Anderson 3/64. India settle for 329, which is the highest total for India in England after being asked to bat.
16.41 IST: Jasprit Bumrah is the next batsman in.
16.40 IST: OUT! Anderson removes Shami for 3. And the aggressive tactics have not worked for Shami here. Anderson keeps it on a length on middle and off. Shami, as he tried earlier in the over, goes for a wild swing. The ball moves away slightly on hitting the deck. Shami gets a top edge and the ball flies high in the air. Stuart Broad from mid on settles under the ball and takes it comfortably. India 329/9 in 94.4 overs vs England in Nottingham.
16.36 IST: Mohammad Shami walks in to bat.
16.34 IST: OUT! Broad removes Ashwin for 14. KABOOM! What an absolute beauty! That has swung in like a banana and very late. Almost similar to the delivery Broad got Pujara with in the last Test. Just how do you play those, Pujara had no answers and now Ashwin too has none. Broad comes running in and bowls it full outside off, it comes back in very late. Ashwin has his front foot planted across but then seeing the ball tail back in, he tries to flick. He misses, the ball hits his pads and then uproots the middle pole. Broad gets his second this morning and England are now into the tail which they would want to clean up as quick as possible. India 326/8 in 93.4 overs vs England in Nottingham.
16.30 IST: Ravichandran Ashwin EDGED BUT DROPPED! Pope drops a sharp chance. Excellent delivery to end the over. Another outswinger, once again it is fuller than the previous deliveries. Ashwin is only half forward as he tries to defend it. The ball takes the outside edge and goes low and quickly towards fourth slip. The man there dives and gets a hand to it but fails to hang on. The ball rolls towards short third man and the batsmen take a run.
16.25 IST: Ishant Sharma walks in next. He has been promoted up the order, batted at no. 11 in the last game and no. 10 in the first Test.
16.24 IST: OUT! Broad removes Pant for 24. England draw first blood of the day. And it's the debutant, Pant, who has to take the long walk back. Broad this time keeps it a bit fuller outside off. He is getting it to swing away from Pant on pitching. The southpaw, who was showing good patience and grit until now, goes for an extravagant drive through the covers. He reaches out a bit, away from his body. The ball takes the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Pant looks dejected. Broad gives him a send-off. India 323/7 in 91.4 overs vs England in Nottingham.
16.17 IST: FOUR! EDGED BUT FOUR! Anderson this time bowls it fuller, meaning Ashwin can't play it that late. The batter pokes at it with soft hands. The ball takes the outside edge and goes through the slip cordon for the second boundary of the over. So runs coming thick and fast for India this morning and they have crossed the 320-run mark. IND 323/6 in 91 overs.
16.15 IST: FOUR! Excellent by Ashwin! He is playing the ball very late, which is working in his favour. Another good delivery by Anderson, on off, shapes away. Ashwin stays rooted to his crease, lets the ball come to him and then guides it through backward point for a boundary. His second.
16.10 IST: Stuart Broad to Rishabh Pant, 2 runs. Broad comes from round the wicket, a length ball angled into Pant, who gets inside the line of the ball and tries to tuck it around. The ball hits his thigh pad and runs down fine on the leg side. Adil Rashid on deep fine leg boundary does well to dive and stop 2 runs for his team.
16.05 IST: James Anderson will bowl from the other end.
16.04 IST: Five runs from the over. FOUR! What just happened there? Did Buttler not sight the ball or he could just not react? Will have to wait for a replay to find out as Ashwin gets off the mark with a boundary. Not in convincing manner though. Broad bowls it on a back of a length outside off, Ashwin goes after it with no foot movement, a needless shot to be honest. The ball takes a thick outside edge and goes over Buttler at third slip, who just could not get up in time and into the third man fence. End of a good over for India, they have started on a positive note. IND 312/6 in 88 overs.
16.02 IST: Sir Ian Botham (on air) feels that the pitch will get quicker today and it was a bit tacky yesterday. David Bumble adds to it that usually Day 2 is the best day to bat as the pitch becomes easy-paced.
16.00 IST: So after the delay we are all set for the action to begin now. The Indian batsmen, Ravichandran Ashwin and Rishabh Pant walk out to the middle. The latter will be on strike and he will face Stuart Broad.
15.42 IST: The start time has been delayed by another 15 minutes. The new start time is 4:00 PM IST.
15.18 IST: UPDATE! The play will begin at 03:45 PM IST.
UPDATE - Day 2 play to start at 11.15 AM local time.
