TEA: England 155-4 (Bairstow 24, Stokes 5) India: 396 Overs: 33
Classic Stokes. He’s barely played a shot since coming in, but sweeps the final ball of the session away to the boundary with the field up.
It’s been India’s session, no doubt about it.
England 150-4 (Bairstow 23, Stokes 1) India: 396 Overs: 32
You can only bowl Bumrah for so long, and he’s off the field now, replaced by Mukesh. The possibility of the ball swinging both ways is why India felt he was worth a go in this game instead of Siraj, so it’s exactly the sort of situation that Mukesh would have wanted to be bowling in.
He’s good, but he doesn’t have the intimidation factor of the brilliant Bumrah and Bairstow opens up his arms to cut him away for four.
It’s fair to say that Kevin Pietersen on commentary isn’t impressed with what he’s seen from that Mukesh over.
England 143-4 (Bairstow 16, Stokes 1) India: 396 Overs: 31
Bairstow’s eyes light up as Kuldeep drags one short, and he cuts it away for four to relieve some pressure.
England 138-4 (Bairstow 11, Stokes 1) India: 396 Overs: 30
After the first Test it was interesting to hear just how amazing Mark Wood was by Bumrah’s performance, having thrown is all at the Hyderabad pitch to no avail. The England quick could barely believe what Bumrah had been able to do in that match, and he’s at it again in Vizag.
Bumrah at his best takes the pitch out of the equation, and when you add in a ball that’s swinging and reversing then facing him is as big a test as there is in the sport.
England are clinging on and Stokes survives a maiden.
England 138-4 (Bairstow 11, Stokes 1) India: 396 Overs: 29
Axar gets through another over, but almost everybody in the ground is just waiting for another part in the Bumrah show.
WICKET! England 136-4 (Bairstow 10, Stokes 0) India: 396 Overs: 28
Ollie Pope bowled by Jasprit Bumrah for 23 (55b)
Bumrah has England on the ropes and he cleans up Pope with an absolute beauty. A gorgeous yorker is too good for the England number three and it dismantles the stumps, crashing into the base of middle and leg.
India’s x-factor bowler has turned this innings on its head, and England are in big trouble now.
Ben Stokes is the new batter and watches his first ball through to the keeper, but what a performance this is from Bumrah. There’s no bowler in world cricket you’d rather have in this sort of situation.
England 134-3 (Pope 21, Bairstow 10) India: 396 Overs: 27
Bairstow goes after Axar, crashing one away for a boundary through backward point.
And he finishes the over with another four, this time driven well to the rope.
Bairstow might as well make hay against the spinners – it’s not going to be a run-fest from the other end with the sort of form Bumrah’s in right now.
WICKET! England 124-3 (Pope 21, Bairstow 0) India: 396 Overs: 26
Joe Root caught by Shubman Gill bowled Jasprit Bumrah for 5 (10b)
It’s a big challenge for England right now, with Bumrah getting the ball to reverse. It’s been a great start to the innings for England, thanks to Crawley’s fast start, but this is a tricky spell.
And the wicket does indeed come as a bit of Bumrah magic draws the edge from Root that flies through to slip. Root is furious that he’s fallen into the trap, but it’s terrific bowling.
Bairstow is targeted with an inswinging yorker first up that looks to be drifting down leg.

England 123-2 (Pope 21, Root 4) India: 396 Overs: 25
Axar continues, and England work him for four runs in the over. This feels like a significant period in the match.
England 119-2 (Pope 18, Root 4) India: 396 Overs: 24
That wicket has prompted India to bring Bumrah straight back into the attack to try and target Pope and Root. The ball is reversing a tad too, so it’s a good move from Rohit.
Pope survives a testing over, getting a single off the last ball to keep the strike.
WICKET! England 118-2 (Pope 17, Root 4) India: 396 Overs: 23
Zak Crawley caught by Shreyas Iyer bowled Axar Patel for 76 (78b)
Axar Patel comes into the attack for the first time, bowling straight after drinks. And Crawley isn’t about to give him time to settle, whipping him away for a lofted four.
However, that aggressive intent is Crawley’s undoing in the end, as he dances down the track and miscues one into the air. It’s a tricky catch, but Iyer does brilliantly to hang on to it and India have their second wicket.
Crawley departs for a lively 76, having scored 61 off just 50 deliveries since the lunch break.
Joe Root is the new batter and he gets off the mark second ball with a reverse sweep for four.
England 110-1 (Crawley 72, Pope 17) India: 396 Overs: 22
Interesting from Rohit, who goes looking for reverse swing with a ball that’s been banged up a bit at the start of this innings.
Mukesh comes back into the attack and he does immediately get a bit of movement, bringing one back in to Pope that elicits an optimistic appeal for a ball that was heading down leg.
Another hooping in-swinger drifts onto the pads and Pope puts it away to the rope to bring up England’s second fifty partnership of the innings.
England 106-1 (Crawley 72, Pope 13) India: 396 Overs: 21
Kuldeep gets through another decent over that goes for just the one run.
England 105-1 (Crawley 72, Pope 12) India: 396 Overs: 20
A bit of theatre from Ashwin as he delays the start of the over to have a long chat with his skipper and attempt to break up England’s flow by asking for a ball change. It’s not forthcoming from the umpires.
A trademark Crawley drive through the covers brings up England’s 100. They’ve scored at more than five-an-over at the start of this innings, and India have got their first real taste of Bazball batting.
Crawley is playing so well here and he finishes the over with another boundary, cut away for four. “Four more to the England” comes the refrain from the Barmy Army.

England 95-1 (Crawley 62, Pope 12) India: 396 Overs: 19
Good again from Kuldeep, but England work him for four singles in the over to keep the score ticking over.
England 91-1 (Crawley 60, Pope 10) India: 396 Overs: 18
Ashwin is going to be a real test on this wicket, particularly in the fourth innings (if the game gets that far). He has Pope in trouble with a lovely delivery that drifts and turns, bouncing through the batter’s defences but through to the keeper.
Pope pulls out the reverse sweep, but the ball stays low and he under-edges it into his pads. That’s maybe why we haven’t seen the reverse much from England today.
Crawley faces the last ball of the over, and he gives it the treatment, winding up with a slog sweep that flies all the way for a maximum.
England 82-1 (Crawley 53, Pope 8) India: 396 Overs: 17
Nice from Kuldeep, who has Pope podding and poking through the over. He gets a single off the last ball and Ashwin will have another crack at England’s restless number three.
England 81-1 (Crawley 53, Pope 7) India: 396 Overs: 16
Better from Pope, who drives beautifully through the covers for four. He gives Ashwin a bit of hope with a cut that stays in the air for a while, but earns him a run in any case thanks to a misfield from Iyer.
The fielder is then trolled by the Barmy Army trumpet who rolls out the circus music (the Entrance of the Gladiators for those classical music aficionados amongst you).
England 75-1 (Crawley 52, Pope 2) India: 396 Overs: 15
Crawley looks to go after Kuldeep again, but he doesn’t quite get this one right and takes the single. It’s a calmer over and the run rate drops to a meagre five-an-over.
England 74-1 (Crawley 51, Pope 2) India: 396 Overs: 14
You’d never think that this Ollie Pope was the batter who demolished India in the last Test. He looks in all sorts of bother against Ashwin, inside edging for a single and then lunging at one that zips past his outside edge.
The encouraging thing for Pope is that this is exactly how he started his knock of 196. If he can get through these early scares then he’ll settle down.
FIFTY! England 72-1 (Crawley 50, Pope 1) India: 396 Overs: 13
Such aggression from Crawley, who times a drive amazingly to send it away for four, and then slog sweeps Kuldeep to bring up his 50 off just 51 deliveries.
This is classic Bazball batting from the big opener.
England 62-1 (Crawley 40, Pope 1) India: 396 Overs: 12
Ashwin beats the edge of Pope, who is frenetic here at the start of his innings. The over goes for three singles and Crawley will be on strike for the next over, hopefully giving Pope a bit of time to settle down.
WICKET! England 59-1 (Crawley 38, Pope 0) India: 396 Overs: 11
Ben Duckett caught by Rajat Patidar bowled Kuldeep Yadav for 21 (17b)
Kuldeep is into the attack, and he strikes to remove Duckett with a beautiful delivery that dips on the left-hander and catches the shoulder of the bat to loop up to silly point.
He’s such a good bowler, Kuldeep. It’s his misfortune to be a left-arm spinner in the era of Ravi Jadeja… but he’s got the opportunity to show how good he is in this Test.
And he very nearly gets Pope first ball, as Bharat can’t take cleanly to pull off a stumping, with Pope overbalancing. He was out of his ground there, the England batter, and it was a ‘straightforward stumping chance’ according to Dinesh Karthik over on TNT Sports 2.
England 59-0 (Crawley 38, Duckett 20) India: 396 Overs: 10
Crawley is living dangerously, as a very fine flick fizzes past a statuesque short leg. That was perhaps a chance off Ashwin, but it races away for four to add to England’s score.
England 54-0 (Crawley 34, Duckett 20) India: 396 Overs: 9
Astonishing batting from Crawley brings up the 50 partnership inside nine overs. He takes on Bumrah in dismissive fashion hitting him for three consecutive boundaries to start the over.
The first is a beauty of a whip through midwicket, which is followed up by a slightly risky thick edge that runs away for four. And he finishes up the run with the pick of the lot – a beautiful drive straight back past the bowler.
Crawley finishes the over in style with another drive down the ground. 16 runs come from Bumrah’s over… which isn’t something that’s been said often in Test cricket!
DROP! England 38-0 (Crawley 18, Duckett 20) India: 396 Overs: 8
This session is going to be fascinating. How will England approach their first-innings reply? Can India’s talented spinners get more out of the pitch than England’s youngsters did?
The turning that Ashwin got before lunch persuades Rohit that it’s a good idea to go straight to his senior spinner at the start of the afternoon session, and he very nearly takes a wicket first up.
Crawley charges at Ashwin and flicks the ball just to the left of Gill at midwicket, who can’t hold on to that catch. That would have been an excellent grab, but it’s a chance.
England 34-0 (Crawley 16, Duckett 18) India: 396 Overs: 7
Bumrah is back into the attack after lunch and he proves away at the England openers.
He shows of his superb slower ball midway through the over, but Crawley spots it.
Two singles come from the over.

The story of the first session
England reach lunch on 32-0, trailing India (396) by 364 runs
It’s been England’s morning in Vizag, with James Anderson taking two wickets with the new ball to ensure India didn’t cause too much damage at the start of this second day.
And openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley have got off to a typically fast start, offering a few chances but reaching lunch on 32-0, surviving a couple of overs of spin before the interval that saw the pitch behave a little unevenly.
The 41-year-old Anderson removed Ravichandran Ashwin for 20 with a classic delivery that left the right-hander a touch, taking the edge through to Ben Foakes.
And it was Anderson who finally ended Yashasvi Jaiswal’s masterful innings, as the youngster player perhaps the first poor shot of his knock to hole out to Jonny Bairstow in the deep.
Jaiswal departed for 209 having reached the first double hundred of his fledgling career with back-to-back boundaries off Shoaib Bashir, shifting up through the gears immediately after Ashwin’s wicket.
And the 22-year-old celebrated in style, raising both his arms to the crowd after a double ton of the sort of quality that suggests his Test career will last a very long time.
India’s tail enders didn’t hang around long, with Jasprit Bumrah edging to slip off Rehan Ahmed for 6 and Mukesh Kumar departing in similar fashion without troubling the scorers.
India managed to add 60 runs in the morning session for those final four wickets, finishing on 396 all out.
Anderson finished with incredible figures of 3-47 from his 25 overs, with an economy rate of just 1.88 in an innings where India scored at almost double that.
Bashir ended his first innings in Test cricket with 3-138 from 38 overs, having bowled more than double the number of overs as the next most used spinner, Tom Hartley (1-74 from 18).
And Rehan took 3-65 from 17 overs having done his job in the back half of the innings. Joe Root was the only bowler not to take a wicket, going for 71 runs from 14 expensive overs.

LUNCH: England 32-0 (Crawley 15, Duckett 17) India: 396 Overs: 6
Ravichandran Ashwin can barely contain his glee at getting an over before lunch, and he’s got Crawley in his sights.
He gets one to turn and bounce, striking Crawley outside the line on the pad that somehow evades everything else as it loops up. And Crawley gratefully accepts the single to take England to lunch on 32 without loss.
England 31-0 (Crawley 14, Duckett 17) India: 396 Overs: 5
We’re going to see a bit of spin before lunch, with Kuldeep Yadav given a go by Rohit Sharma.
England won’t be happy to see the second ball of the over keep extremely low and skid through to Crawley, who does well to squirt it away for two runs.
We didn’t see much of that sort of thing from the pitch from England’s bowlers, but if India’s three-pronged spin attack get uneven bounce then it’s going to be a huge test in the afternoon session.
Crawley gets a single off the last ball of the over, so will have strike for what will certainly be the last over before the interval.
England 29-0 (Crawley 11, Duckett 17) India: 396 Overs: 4
Lunch isn’t far away, but England approach that as an opportunity rather than a risk, and Duckett targets Mukesh with two hammered fours through the covers.
That’s serious intent from the left-hander, and he finishes the over with a third four, once again dispatching a ball just short of a length to the rope through the on side.
If India didn’t know what they were going to come up against in this England batting line-up on a decent surface then they certainly do now. 12 runs come from the over.
England 16-0 (Crawley 11, Duckett 5) India: 396 Overs: 3
Is that an intentional late cut? Perhaps, or maybe it’s a thick edge that Crawley manages to style out. Either way the ball races past gully to the boundary as Bumrah goes for his first runs of the day.
England 10-0 (Crawley 5, Duckett 5) India: 396 Overs: 2
Ben Duckett starts the over with a chop of a shot off Mukesh Kumar that he inside edges just past his stumps and away for four. That’s a streaky way to start his innings!
But you know what you’re going to get from England’s openers, if you’re not Bumrah at least, and Crawley eases Mukesh away for a dismissive four midway through the over to get the first intentional boundary of the innings on the board.
England 0-0 (Crawley 0, Duckett 0) India: 396 Overs: 1
There is no shock that it’s Jasprit Bumrah who starts the innings with the new ball. He was so good in Hyderabad on a pitch that offered nothing for the seamers, and England’s openers need to be wary.
Bumrah starts with a maiden that ends with a real waft from Zak Crawley that has India interested in the possibility of an edge.
A big test for Bazball
This innings will decide how the rest of the match unfolds. Can England get close to India’s total and make this a one-innings game on a surface that is expected to break up significantly later in the Test?
Or will the brilliance of India’s attack, spearheaded by Bumrah and the spin trio of Ashwin, Axar and Kudeep, remind England of the realities of touring this country.
It’s going to be fascinating.

WICKET! India all out for 396
Mukesh Kumar caught by Joe Root bowled Shoaib Bashir for 0 (3b)
Root snaffles a decent catch at slip as Mukesh lives up to his billing as a bit of a bunny at number eleven, edging Bashir off the last ball of the over, and that’s the end of India’s innings.
Bashir finishes with 3-138 from his 38 overs, and India are all out for 396.
That’s a good score, there’s no doubt about it, and puts scoreboard pressure on England. But India would have been hoping for more than that after winning the toss.
Is the surface really as flat as it’s looked, or has Jaiswal taken us all for fools by making his double hundred look so comfortable? We’ll soon find out when England come out to bat.
WICKET! India 391-9 (Kuldeep 7, Kumar 0) Overs: 111
Jasprit Bumrah caught by Joe Root bowled Rehan Ahmed for 6 (9b)
England make the decision not to bowl their 41-year-old pacer into the ground and turn to the x-factor of Rehan to try and get rid of the tail.
He starts with a loosener that Bumrah happily puts away through midwicket for four.
But Rehan gets Bumrah as he fires one in and gets an edge that flies straight into the hands of Root at slip. England are one wicket away from wrapping this innings up, which is a terrific achievement on this pitch.
India 391-8 (Kuldeep 7, Bumrah 2) Overs: 110
It’s another over for Bashir, who really races through his overs, helping England with their uncharacteristically high over rate in this game.
Kuldeep gets back for a quick second midway through the over, but he can’t get a single off the last ball so Bumrah will be on strike for the next over. Can England wrap this up quickly?
India 389-8 (Kuldeep 5, Bumrah 2) Overs: 109
Anderson is frustrated as Bumrah knocks the first ball of the over away for a single, but he gets the opportunity to have a run at Kuldeep, and he has him beaten all ends up with two stunning deliveries at the end of the over.
Kuldeep manages to keep the strike.
India 387-8 (Kuldeep 4, Bumrah 1) Overs: 108
Bumrah is the new batter, and he’s not the best with the bat, that’s for sure.
He and Kuldeep survive Bashir’s latest over, but the new batter will be on strike for the next over and Anderson is already on the way to take the ball.
WICKET! 383-8 (Kuldeep 1, Bumrah 0) Overs: 107
Yashasvi Jaiswal caught by Jonny Bairstow bowled James Anderson for 209 (290b)
Jaiswal’s vigil finally comes to an end and the England players rush into the middle to shake his hand after a knock that could well have won India this Test. Let’s see how the next few days unfold.
He finally loses his patience and makes a mistake against Anderson, switching his stance and swiping a big shot into the deep off Anderson and Bairstow makes no mistake with the catch.
He departs for 209 from 290 balls – a masterclass of innings that featured 26 boundaries, including seven maximums. He’s been a dominant force in this first innings.
It’s a wicket maiden for Anderson. Of course it is. He’s been so good in this innings.
India 383-7 (Jaiswal 209, Kuldeep 1) Overs: 106
Bashir continues and offers up a half volley off the first ball of the over that Jaiswal can only get away for a single.
He’s happy to give strike to Kuldeep, who is happy enough to defend his way through the over for no runs, with plenty of men up in catching positions.
Bashir think he’s got Kuldeep on the last ball with a big appeal for an lbw, but England opt against the appeal.
India 382-7 (Jaiswal 208, Kuldeep 1) Overs: 105
So good from Anderson, who bowls within himself with Jaiswal on strike, keeping the ball in the channel knowing that Jaiswal is happy to see him out.
The set batter takes the single to leave Kuldeep with two deliveries to face, and England’s whole approach changes, with three slips in and Anderson cranking up the pace. There’s a long chat with Stokes at the end of the over – could that be the end of Jimmy’s session?
India 381-7 (Jaiswal 207, Kuldeep 1) Overs: 104
It’s a maiden for Bashir as Kuldeep plays him out. It’s all about giving support to Jaiswal here for India’s tail.
India 381-7 (Jaiswal 207, Kuldeep 1) Overs: 103
Anderson continues and draws the edge from Jaiswal, but it plays it softly and the ball runs away for four.
Kuldeep is struck on the pad and it looks good, but Stokes opts against the review and replays show it was heading down leg. Wise.
DOUBLE HUNDRED! India 375-7 (Jaiswal 202, Kuldeep 0) Overs: 102
What a way to bring up your double hundred! Jaiswal sweeps Bashir for a huge six off his first ball of the over. And a full toss follows with Jaiswal two short of his double ton, and he dispatches it for four.
He celebrates in style, and this has been an extraordinary knock, a confirmation of his extreme talent for anyone who wasn’t already convinced.
WICKET! India 364-7 (Jaiswal 190, Kuldeep 0) Overs: 101
Ravichandran Ashwin caught by Ben Foakes bowled James Anderson for 20 (37b)
Anderson’s brilliant spell here gets its reward. He gets a wobble seam to square up Ashwin, who can only edge behind to Foakes for a straightforward catch.
That’s the opening that England have been searching for.
India 360-6 (Jaiswal 191, Ashwin 16) Overs: 100
Here we go, Jaiswal has a crack at Bashir, lofting a shot over mid-on and over the rope for six. Is that the signal that we’re going to get some attacking approach from the centurion?
India 352-6 (Jaiswal 184, Ashwin 15) Overs: 99
Anderson is bowling so well here, and he almost bags the key wicket of Jaiswal as the ball smacks into the pads.
England review, and it’s close, but DRS says the ball was going of the top and England lose a review.
Jaiswal manages to get off strike next ball with a squirt of an inside edge and Ashwin survives the rest of the over.
India 351-6 (Jaiswal 183, Ashwin 15) Overs: 98
Ashwin can really bat and he draws oohs from the crowd as he drives Bashir through the gap in the covers and away for four.
India 346-6 (Jaiswal 182, Ashwin 11) Overs: 97
It’s so hard to take runs off Anderson when he’s in this sort of mood.
He squares Jaiswal up with a wobble-seamer that nips past the outside edge. Two runs come off the over, including a leg bye.
India 344-6 (Jaiswal 181, Ashwin 11) Overs: 96
Bashir gets a go with the new ball too, after his impressive start to his Test career. It’s a nice over, but India get through it relatively comfortably, picking up one single with a nudge of the pads by Ashwin.
India 343-6 (Jaiswal 181, Ashwin 10) Overs: 95
It’s Anderson’s first over of the day, and England do indeed take the new ball. This is going to be a crucial spell of the game.
He starts with two absolute beauties, beating Jaiswal with a big inswinger and then catch the edge that drops short of second slip.
India survive the first over with the new ball, but the ball is talking for Anderson.
India 341-6 (Jaiswal 180, Ashwin 9) Overs: 94
No new ball straight away for England, with Shoaib Bashir taking the first over of the day.
Ravichandran Ashwin dispatches him beautifully for four to start the day in style for India.

Kate Mason is joined by Sir Alastair Cook and Steven Finn in the TNT Sports studio once again today, so tune in to TNT Sports and discovery+ to hear their expert analysis of the second Test.
03:50 – How is the pitch expected to play?
The surface looked really flat on day one, with the common consensus being that it’s likely to remain that way until day three, before breaking up significantly in the back-half of the Test.
That means first-innings runs are likely to be key. England will be hoping to rattle through India quickly this morning, and they have a new ball available to help them with that. But even if they do that, scoring 350+ against this India attack will be no easy feat, even if the surface is more friendly that it was in Hyderabad.
It’s going to be a really interesting day.
03:45 – Can England bounce back on day two?
India were in a good position on 336-6 after the first day in Vizag, but they could have been in a great position.
Having won the toss and batted first on a good surface, and with their young opener Jaiswal scoring a sublime 179*, India will feel like they should have buried England on day one.
But they’ve left the door ajar, with no other batter going past 34 on a flat pitch, and it’ll be fascinating to see if England can respond today.
03:40 – Hello and welcome
