IND vs Ang Live Score, Second Test Match Day 4: KL Rahul, Karun Nair look as a loom of rain, to expand India’s lead
Siraj quickly ignited India’s charge, which left Root and Ben Stokes at 84/5 in continuous delivery. But a record sixth-cicat partnership of 303 runs between Smith and Brook temporarily replaced Tide.
Smith, in particular, was explosives – his 184* test became the highest score by England wicketkeeper, crossing 173 of Alec Stewart. He reached his hundred in just 80 balls before lunch, a rare feat in modern Test cricket. Brooke also contributed to a composed 158, before the sky Deep’s nip-bicker bowled him with a second new ball.
England then fell, which lost his last five wickets for 20 runs to end 407. Siraj (6/70) and Deep (4/88) cleaned the tail, leading to a significant 180-run lead to India.
In response, India reached 64/1 by stumps, with KL Rahul and Karun Nair, Yashasvi Jaiswal caught the fort after falling into the tongue. India is now leading a 244 lead and will make England out of the 4 -day competition.
