Lord's Test Day 2: Bhuvneshwar Leads India Fightback After Ballance Ton

July 18, 2014 18:38

Faced with a challenging first innings 295 from the tourists, the English needed to get their acts right against a competent pace attack on a green top. Both openers were removed early by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4/46), who has been in top form this series. After picking up fifer at Trent Bridge, Kumar kept up his good form with the ball in the second test as well.
