From 120/0, England amassed 303 runs in the day. They scored 125 runs in the final session and found themselves at an augmented position.
Root has been the difference-maker in the series so far, and he remained the key wicket that India aimed for on Day 2 after Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammad Shami removed the well-set openers in the first session.
Kohli had a hard time in setting the fields to stop this seepage of runs
Staring down the abyss, India can at best look to salvage a draw.
While KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma would be looked upon as both have been in good form.
It’s largely due to Rahul India have a 1-0 lead and Sharma’s 105-ball 19 denied a terrific England bowling spree early on Day 1.
It is expected of them to make amends in the second innings.
Kohli has 69 runs so far in the series out of which 42 came in one innings at Lord’s.
