Akash Deep made an immediate impression on debut, dismissing England's top three in a stunning new ball burst, before Bairstow and Stokes both fell to spin to leave England 112-5 at lunch.

India batted for the entirety of day two for the loss of just six wickets, leaving themselves in total control of the first Test at Hyderabad. Joe Root dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal inside the first over of the day, but England's bowlers generally struggled for control throughout once again. The hosts finished the day 421-7, leading by 175 runs, thanks to impressive batting performances from KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.

A wonderful knock from 22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal has put India in a strong position after the opening day of the series in Hyderabad. Having won the toss and chosen to bat, England were bowled out for 246, with eight wickets shared between India's three spinners. Ben Stokes batted nicely on his return from surgery for 70, but was one of two wickets to fall to the ever impressive Jasprit Bumrah. The hosts made good progress in the evening session, with Jaiswal in particular making sure England's spinners struggled for control. They'll resume tomorrow on 119-1, trailing by 127 runs. 0:00 Recap / 3:39 England's innings / 14:00 India's innings / 22:07 Tomorrow You can follow Wisden Cricket on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok: https://www.facebook.com/WisdenCric https://www.instagram.com/wisden_cricket/ https://twitter.com/WisdenCricket https://www.tiktok.com/@wisdencricket The latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly is available now at https://wisden.com/shop/wisden-cricket-monthly-issue-74 The digital version of the magazine is also available for just £2 a month at https://pocketmags.com/wisden-cricket-monthly-magazine#5c1cd17fa0b05 #Cricket #IndianCricket #EnglandCricket Learn more about your ad choices.

Well, what a day that was - again! Yas Rana and Katya Witney analyse another exhilarating day of action, which saw England fall just short in their chase of 371 on a controversial and emotionally charged final day at Lord's. Ben Duckett's impressive Test continued, scoring 83 to add to his first innings 98, but after he was excellently caught behind by Alex Carey and Jonny Bairstow was contentiously stumped - an incident that we'll be hearing about for a long, long time - it was the Ben Stokes show. The England captain smashed a stunning 155 including nine sixes, reminiscent in parts of his Headingley 2019 heroics, to give England a glimmer of hope, but couldn't quite drag his side over the line. Australia take a 2-0 series lead to the third Test at Headingley, starting on Thursday. For more in-depth analysis and reaction, tune into tomorrow's episode of the Wisden Cricket Weekly Podcast.

After setting England 371 for victory, Starc and Cummins put on a clinic with the new ball, blowing away Crawley, Pope, Root and Brook. There was a controversial moment late in the day, with Starc adjudged to have grounded a catch off Duckett.
