Rajkot : A terrific session for the English side as they have scored runs at will and have pushed India back. Scoring 139 runs in 30 overs and powers English team to 450/6 at lunch.

Ali went on to score his 4th ton and was placing the ball around but he got bowled because of a rare misjudgement. There was aggressive intent from Shami and Yadav with the new ball but Stokes and Bairstow countered that by throwing caution to the wind.

Stokes is still lucky to be out there as he was dropped twice by Saha. The no. 1 Test side has been bogged down and that has reflected on the field today. They have already post a huge score on the board and a curvy road lies ahead of the Team India.
