Cricket fans, get ready—Day 2 of the England vs India 4th Test at Old Trafford is shaping up to be a real edge-of-your-seat thriller. With Team India’s batters Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur looking to build on that strong 264/4, there’s a lot on the line, and you won’t want to miss a minute.
Jadeja and Thakur Set the Stage
After a solid first day, India’s batters are ready to pile on more runs. The absence of Rishabh Pant due to his injury means the pressure’s on the middle and lower order, but if Day 1 was anything to go by, we’re in for plenty of batting magic. Over in the England camp, Ben Stokes and his pace crew will be gunning for quick wickets. Liam Dawson grabbed his first Test wicket in 8 years yesterday—so there’s plenty of belief in an early breakthrough.
