Jaiswal, 22, has been India’s lone fighter in the innings so far with some support from batter Shubman Gill, who scored34 on Day 1. The youngster has clearly lacked support at one end but did not give up before scoring his maiden double ton.

At the time of writing, India were 383/8 with Jaiswal being scalped by James Anderson soon after his double ton while Kuldeep Yadav was at the other end batting on 4. The hosts also lost Ravichandran Ashwin (20) in the first session of Day 2 but will look to put a big total on the board.
England will now look for a solid start to their first innings, something they lackedin the Hyderabad Test. They will bank on the services of Ollie Pope, Zak Crawley and Joe Root.Pope hadscored196 runs in the second innings of theopening Test match. India on the other hand will look for a positive start with the ball with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mukesh Kumar.
