India vs England 4th Test, Day 2 Live Cricket Score: Rohit, Pujara hold fort well

India vs England (IND vs ENG) 4th Test Live Cricket Score Online Updates: Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara were holding fort for the home side at stumps on the first day.

India vs England 4th Test Live Cricket Score Online Updates: England’s batsmen lost the battle of both mind and skills in yet another shoddy performance to surrender the momentum to India with Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin calling the shots on the opening day of the fourth and final Test in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

After five innings, England crossed the 200-run mark but a total of 205 in 75.5 overs was certainly not what Joe Root had expected when he called it right at the toss on a day which would have ideally been best for batting.

India ended the day at 24 for 1 with wily old James Anderson (5-5-0-1) accounting for an out-of-form Shubman Gill (0). Rohit Sharma (8 batting, 34 balls) and Cheteshwar Pujara (15 batting, 36 balls) were holding fort for the home side.

Anderson starts the play on the second day, and both Rohit and Pujara deal with the pace-filled deliveries well. Just a two from the opening over. Stokes starts well too, with a maiden. India are being extra careful now, trying to save wickets. IND: 27/1 (15 overs)
