IND 75/2 in 18 Overs (Lead by 52 Runs) at Stumps | India vs England Highlights of 5th Test 2025 Day 2: Akash Deep Comes In As Night Watchman, India Finish Session Strongly

India will consider themselves ahead in the game ending Day 2 and where the game was in lunch. England were looking to post a big lead, but they couldn't and England's catch drops with one bowler short means Yashasvi Jaiswal is still out on the crease and England didn't get his prized wicket by the end of the Day. Sai Sudharsan got dismissed in the last over of the Day before stumps and he will be disappointed. The England seamers have a tough day incoming and they will have to deliver. Shubman Gill meanwhile has the opportunity to decide the game for his team. 

Out! That came against the run of play. Gus Atkinson came round the wicket angled the ball in, it kept just a tad low and skidded on and Sudharsan got hit flush on his pads. It looked plumb but he went for the DRS, it was in vain as replay showed three reds. England will be slightly happy after the drop catches. Sai Sudharsan lbw b Atkinson 11(29).

Fifty! Finally some runs for Yashasvi Jaiswal. He has been brave in this innings, taking the game on head on and was rewarded with two dropped chances. But he made the most of it and accumulated some quick runs. Gets to his fifty and helps India get a quick start. England playing with three seamers with Chris Woakes injured also makes the thing difficult for them. Jaiswal also gets to his half-century. 

Out! The game is moving fast. Some boundaries with the new ball with Yashasvi Jaiswal taking his chances. A catch went done and Jaiswal kept his feet on the accelerator. As India were stitching a steady opening partnership, KL Rahul nicked one behind off josh Tongue was bowling a probing spell. England have an opening from one side. Rahul c Root b Tongue 7(28).

Out! Harry Brook departs and it is Mohammed Siraj again. Siraj makes his jag-backing ball work again and gets through the gate of Brook. Brook gets some bat on it but it does enough to crash to the stumps. England will be disappointed with their batting after the start they have got and the third innings is going to be crucial given England are a bowler short. Brook b Siraj 53(64).

Harry Brook has been trying to bat through the overs and get boundaries. Josh Tongue is on the other end and he is the last wicket as Chris Woakes will not bat in this innings. Amid this, Brook manages to get his half-century and carry on the fight. 

Good news for the fans. The rain has stopped and there is a restart time for the last session of the Day. Umpires have inspected the outfield and adjudged that the play will restart from 9:55 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). That is moments from now. 

Drizzle started some time back and now it has started to get heavy enough for the Umpires to call the players back into the dressing room. England would not mind the time off as they need to give their bowlers some rest before they take the ball again. They have only a wicket in hand. India on the other hand, want to carry on the momentum they have now. 

Out! Fourth wicket for Prasidh Krishna. Gus Atkinson was looking to push his weight forward and play some drives down the ground. Krishna surprised him with a sharp short ball. The ball raised enough to rush him into the pull and mid-on took a simple catch. England are crumbling here. Atkinson c Akash Deep b Prasidh 11(16).

Out! India take the session in their favour. England were 109/1 in the lunch break and India has done enough in the second session and kept it 106/6 after lunch. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna were the star of the show. Krishna opened the window with the dismissal of Zak Crawley and then Siraj ran through the middle order. Krishan ended the session well again removing Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton in the same over. The game is well poised here, just like the series.  Jamie Overton lbw b Prasidh 0(4).
