Indian women's badminton team have already booked their last eight spot with two successive victories and will be facing China on Tuesday in their last group A clash.
The day was special for English skipper Ben Stokes, who claimed the wicket of Rohit with his first delivery of the series, having not bowled competitively since the second Test of last year’s Ashes. A sharply seaming ball that hit Rohit’s off stump as he resumed his innings after the lunch break brought some relief to the English camp as it ended a sedate 171-run stand for the second wicket between Sharma and Gill.
After winning the toss, England got off to a positive start with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett enduring a tough first hour in swinging conditions before lifting the visitors to 64 for 0 with their seventh 45-plus stand in nine partnerships on this tour. However, that scoreline was 175 for 6 by the time Ben Stokes became Kuldeep’s fifth and final scalp, and ultimately 218 all out with Ashwin running through the tail.
The visitors have made two changes: speed bowler Ollie Robinson has replaced Mark Wood, and spinner Sohaib Bashir has taken the place of Rehan Ahmed.
Here is a list of other records that were created on Day 2 of the fifth Test.
Virat Kohli-led Indian cricket team once again failed to cash in on the good start as they let themselves down on the second day after an extremely promising opening day.
India still trail England by 158 runs with four wickets in hand and three days of play remaining.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja gave India the first breakthrough after lunch by removing Broad from the attack with Buttler following suit.
Buttler was then joined by Broad, and the duo denied the visiting bowlers any further success as they fought back to take England past the 300-run mark.
