IND vs ENG Live Updates: Bumrah Targets Root as India Eyes Breakthrough on Day 2

Root Nears Historic Century While Bumrah Eyes Redemption

IND vs ENG Live Updates from Day 2 of the third Test at Lord’s bring high anticipation as England’s Joe Root closes in on his 37th Test century. Resuming on 251/4, the hosts are in a strong position with Root on 97* and Ben Stokes providing valuable support. For India, the key task is simple — break this partnership early and claw back control.

Jasprit Bumrah, leading India’s pace attack, will be central to that plan. The ace fast bowler had a subdued outing on Day 1 but remains India’s best hope for striking early. England’s methodical approach has pushed India on the backfoot, and it’s now on Bumrah to reverse the momentum. IND vs ENG Live Updates

England’s Tactical Brilliance on Day 1

England defied their recent ‘Bazball’ attacking style with a more measured innings on Day 1. The slow Lord’s pitch required patience, and both Root and Stokes executed that strategy perfectly. The scoring rate hovered around 3 runs per over, but England did not lose control, ending the day at 251/4. IND vs ENG Live Updates

Root was at his vintage best — compact defense, well-judged drives, and timely aggression. Stokes, meanwhile, provided solidity and rotated the strike effectively. Their partnership is key to England’s plans of posting a score above 400 and dictating terms to India. IND vs ENG Live Updates

Nitish Kumar Reddy – India’s Surprise Package

While India’s frontline pacers — Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Akash Deep — struggled for rhythm and consistency, young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy emerged as the brightest spot for the visitors. He dismissed both openers — Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley — in a single over and bowled with great discipline.

His performance highlighted the need for India’s senior bowlers to raise their game on Day 2. Without early wickets, England could post a mammoth first-innings score, pushing India further behind in this pivotal Test.

Jadeja’s Class Shines Through

Ravindra Jadeja provided the turning point late on Day 1 by dismissing Ollie Pope on the very first ball after tea. Bowling with precision and subtle variation, Jadeja maintained pressure from one end. He will remain India’s key spin option throughout this match, especially as the Lord’s pitch begins to dry and assist turn later.

Bumrah’s Redemption Arc

For Jasprit Bumrah, Day 2 offers a shot at redemption. The Indian vice-captain dismissed Harry Brook on Day 1 but was largely ineffective for long spells. On a surface offering low bounce and limited seam movement, Bumrah’s use of cutters and reverse swing will be critical. IND vs ENG Live Updates

He will likely start the morning session alongside Akash Deep, but it is his ability to trap Root or Stokes early that can reignite India’s fightback. IND vs ENG Live Updates

Joe Root – The Pillar of English Batting

Joe Root is once again proving why he is one of the modern greats. His calm presence at the crease and ability to build innings under pressure has been crucial for England throughout this series. IND vs ENG Live Updates

If Root scores a century today, it will be his 37th Test ton, placing him in elite company and giving England firm control of this Test. His duel with Bumrah will be the key battle on Day 2. IND vs ENG Live Updates

India’s Lord’s Legacy – Time to Rewrite History?

India’s track record at Lord’s is underwhelming. Out of 19 Tests played at the iconic venue, India have won only 3, lost 12, and drawn 4. However, their last appearance in 2021 resulted in a memorable win under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. IND vs ENG Live Updates

India will look to draw inspiration from that triumph today. To repeat history, though, they must improve with the ball and then deliver a solid batting reply. IND vs ENG Live Updates

Day 2: The Decisive Phase of the Match?

As cricket experts say, “Day 2 is moving day.” One side generally seizes control, and momentum often carries through the rest of the Test. England are in pole position right now, but a couple of quick wickets can turn the tide.

For India, the first hour is make or break. If Bumrah and Co. can remove Root and Stokes early, England might find themselves under pressure with a long tail to follow.

England’s Scoring Target and Strategy

Ollie Pope mentioned post Day 1 that England are aiming for a total between 400-500 runs. That would mean another 150-200 runs from this point. With the pitch offering little to bowlers and the outfield fast, that target seems well within reach. IND vs ENG Live Updates

However, it’s not just about scoring; it’s about dictating terms to India. The longer England bat, the more time they give their bowlers to bowl India out twice. It’s a tactical game of chess, and England hold the advantage — for now. IND vs ENG Live Updates

What’s Next for Team India?

Beyond the Root-Stokes partnership, India must also prepare their batting plans. Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Virat Kohli must step up if England crosses 400. Given the slow nature of the pitch, application and temperament will be key.

Jadeja and Reddy will also play key roles with the bat down the order. India needs to avoid a collapse similar to the first Test if they want to level the series.

Final Thoughts

The IND vs ENG Live Updates from Day 2 at Lord’s are packed with high stakes. Joe Root stands just 3 runs short of another landmark, while Jasprit Bumrah readies himself to spoil the party.

If India want to stay alive in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, today is the day they must fight back.
