India tour of England, 2nd Investec Test: England v India at Lord's
On Friday, India took 2 quick wickets in the closing hour of the game after Ballance scored his 2nd Test century, very much like Ajinkya Rahane did, to rescue England & put the game in balance. Ballance and Moeen Ali, two of England's success stories
in recent times, combined to good effect putting on 98 for the 5th wicket, having come together when their side was in trouble at 113/4.
England captain Alastair Cook had yet another failure with the bat. B Kumar picked up the top 4 English batsmen returning with impressive figures of 4/46 in 23 overs as the home side reached 219/6 at stumps on day 2 of the 2nd Test at Lord's.
Cook nicked a good length away swinging ball from Kumar to wicketkeeper Dhoni.
Sam Robson drove loosely at a wide ball & was caught behind scoring just 17. Ian Bell also departed for a mere 16 runs.
Root was lbw for 13 to left-armer Ravindra Jadeja.
