Ind v Eng 2nd Test Day 2: Ashwin ruins English Top order

India on Sunday morning scalped 6 England wickets, including the priced scalp of Joe Root, as they had the visitors reeling in their first innings on Day Two of the second Test here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Ishant Sharma started the first over with sending off Burn in a golden duck. Ravichandra Ashwin found the rhythm in this match sending back three key English batsmen. Siraj, Ishant Sharma and Axar Patel took one wicket. England is 96/6 after 39 hours with Moin Ali and Foakes on the crease.

Earlier in the day, India added 29 runs to their overnight score before they got bundled out in the first hour of the session.

Resuming at 300/6, India lost the wicket of Patel very early in the day as he got out stumped against Moeen Ali and went back to the dressing room after scoring 5 off 14. Ishant, who came in next, also could not stay long as he out for a duck against Ali after facing just two deliveries.

Kuldeep Yadav, playing his first Test after a long time, stayed for a while but was out caught behind against Olly Stone. He faced 15 balls but failed to score a run.

Mohammad Siraj scored a boundary of the first ball he faced but was out on the second delivery as the Indian innings came to an end in the 96th over. Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on 58 for which he consumed 77 deliveries. Pant smashed seven fours and two maximums.
