India vs England 5th Test, Day 2: What happened in the third session?

 
In the third session, India scored 97 runs and lost five wickets to finish the day at 473/8 and lead by 255 runs. England started the third session on a positive note as well, removing half-centurion Sarfaraz Khan early on. Devdutt Padikkal reached his fifty but became Shoaib Bashir's fourth scalp. Tom Hartley then took three wickets in quick succession to remove Dhruv Jurel, R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

However, Kuldeep Yadav, like in the last two matches showed his batting capabilities and added an unbeaten 45 runs in 1087 balls with Jasprit Bumrah to not give England any chance of a comeback. The captaincy by Stokes against tailenders was questionable as he did not quite attack them. Eventually, when he didi, he dropped a catch of Kuldeep off Bashir's bowling.

This would be stumps at Dharamsala as the ninth wicket partnership for India continues to frustrate the English here. The lead is already past 150 and psychologically, India has almost won it.

Kuldeep Yadav got a leading edge on the first ball he faced against Bashir then got dropped by Stokes in second slip and then hit a four. He is rubbing salt into the English wounds here.

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Maiden

 
Over Summary: 0 0 0 0 0 0; India Score 462/8 after 117 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (23), Jasprit Bumrah (12); Shoaib Bashir 43-5-165-4
 
It's a maiden over as only three of them remain now and the partnership is 34 strong now. 
 

4:36 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Just a single in the over

 
Over Summary: 0 0 0 0 1 0; India Score 462/8 after 116 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (23), Jasprit Bumrah (12); Tom Hartley 39-3-126-2
 
Another single from the over. 
 

4:33 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Fielders close-in

 
Over Summary: 0 1 0 0 0 0; India Score 461/8 after 115 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (19), Jasprit Bumrah (11); Shoaib Bashir 42-4-165-4
 
Now Stokes has increased the number of attacking fielders. Why did he not operate in the same manner previously? From the start of this partnership? Every run is important and you are letting numbers nine and 10 add 40-odd, that is cynical. Had he kept an attacking field and still these players would have added 40-odd then things would have been different. It is still understandable. 
 

4:30 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Partnership 32 strong

 
Over Summary: 1 0 0 1 1 0; India Score 460/8 after 114 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (19), Jasprit Bumrah (11); Tom Hartley 38-3-125-2
 
Whether it is England is not getting it or just me thinking too much. But the 32 runs that this pair has made would make a lot of difference if it comes to batting in the fourth innings. Imagine England had 50-odd runs in the last game more than they had, it would have been completely different. 
 

4:27 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Waiting game continues

 
Over Summary: 0 0 1 0 0 0; India Score 457/8 after 113 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (19), Jasprit Bumrah (11); Shoaib Bashir 41-4-164-4
 
The waiting game continues for England as they are unable to get to the last Indian wicket. 
 

4:25 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Another over passes

 
Over Summary: 1 0 0 0 0 0; India Score 456/8 after 112 overs

Nothing here for England as another passes. 
 

4:24 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Bumrah hits four

 
Over Summary: 0 0 0 0 0 4; India Score 455/8 after 111 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (17), Jasprit Bumrah (7); Tom Hartley 36-3-121-2
 
Bumrah has guided that past the slip for a four as England are playing the waiting game. With tailenders, this has been their approach all the time. They need to understand that the two batting in the middle will not attack them, they have to attack now. 
 

4:22 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: England continue with spin

 
Over Summary: 1 0 0 0 0 0; India Score 451/8 after 110 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (17), Jasprit Bumrah (7); Tom Hartley 36-3-121-2
 
England continue to bowl with spinners and Indian tailenders continue to make them suffer. 
 

4:19 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: 450 up for India

 
Over Summary: 1 1 1 2 0 1; India Score 450/8 after 109 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (17), Jasprit Bumrah (6); Shoaib Bashir 39-4-159-4
 
The 450 has also come up for India and England has still not learned as they are still persisting with just one attacking fielder. Weird captaincy from Stokes this. 
 

4:16 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Why no pacer in attack?

 
Over Summary: 1 0 0 0 0; India Score 444/8 after 108 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (15),Jasprit Bumrah (2); Tom Hartley 35-3-120-2
 
The partnership is now 17 runs strong and yet England does not seem to have any freakin clue of how they are going to get the wicket as even Bumrah is able to negotiate the spin. Why no pacer is a question that seems to be present only in my mind it seems. 
 

4:14 PM

India vs England 5th Test Day 2 Live Score: Single again

 
Over Summary: 0 0 1 0 0 1; India Score 443/8 after 107 overs
Kuldeep Yadav (14),Jasprit Bumrah (2); Shoaib Bashir 38-4-153-4
 
Once again just a single from the over and Indian bowlers continue to trouble the English.
