finally an excellent session for India. First 100-run partnership for India and a very good one.
Wondering what would be our scorecard if this duo manages to bat all day. That would be something and it requires a lot of luck and courage. Ahh, why Rahane and Lord are giving hope to Indian fans?

lol
Not looking good! I was expecting a century from Rahane. He did his job, while the top order failed. How long Thakur and Yadav will be able to stay is a big question now. India need to stay till the end of day 3 and need a score of more than 300 if they want to draw this match.
The only hope now is Shardul Thakur, if he stays more on the strike side and the relatively weak batting that keeps them more on the non-strike side, India's collection will cross roughly 300 plus. In this case Shardul Thakur is the second highest run scorer in the first innings and he just completed his half century. In any case, Shardul Thakur's outstanding authority in this crisis is worth remembering. Welcome to him for outstanding leadership.
