England 155/4 at Tea after Yashasvi’s double ton steers India to 396

England opener Zak Crawley unleashed a solid counterattack but an impressive spell from Jasprit Bumrah pulled back India into the game as the visitors were 155/4 at Tea after India were bowled out for 396 in the first innings of the second Test here.

India reached a respectable total mainly due to the maiden double-hundred of the young Yashasvi Jaiswal. He stood like a rock against England’s attack and is the third youngest Indian player to score a double ton.

England were 155/4 at Tea with Jonny Bairstow (24*) and Ben Stokes (5*) trying to steer the innings.

England were 32/0 when the session began after Lunch with Ben Duckett (17) and Zak Crawley (15) unbeaten at the crease.

Crawley stood tall and launched a counter-attack against Indian bowlers, smoking Bumrah to four boundaries in the ninth over. England reached the 50-run mark in 8.3 overs.

Kuldeep Yadav’s spin earned India their first wicket after Duckett was caught for a 17-ball 21 by Rajat Patidar. England were 59/1 in 10.2 overs.

Crawley reached his half-century in just 52 balls, with eight fours and a six. He continued to display his attacking intent against spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav, smashing them for boundaries.
