They were bowled poorly and India scored 276 runs. KL Rahul's unbeaten century helped India reach 276-3. India was asked to bat in test conditions.Root's side was almost certain to do better on day 2, when Rahul scooped Ollie Robinson’s second ball of day to cover.Two class acts from England - Root, the premier batsman, and Anderson, the seasoned fast bowler, were responsible for the improvement.Perhaps it could have been even better. As they attempted to navigate the lower orders of India, they missed two catches and three run out opportunities. They were, however, not too costly in terms of runs.England's position at the end is better than it was 24 hours earlier, given the manner they were outplayed by Siraj in the first Test.Although they are still far behind, there is a chance to be optimistic about their chances of achieving parity.England rebuilds after Hameed disappointmentEngland could have collapsed after losing two wickets after tea, particularly after Hameed's utterly disappointing loss.Sibley was caught short at mid-wicket, the second in the series.

Root went on to surpass Graham Gooch as England's second highest Test run-scorer.They seemed to be close to the finish, but Burns was lbw for one Shami. Shami moved down the slope, leaving Bairstow with a challenging examination under floodlights.Ageless Anderson demonstrates the wayAnderson, who was in doubt due to a quad injury, was fit and leading the way on England's sub-par first day.On Friday, he returned to Test cricket to claim his 31st five wicket haul. He is 39 years old and has been playing Test cricket for 14 days.After Rahul was lost to Robinson's loser, Anderson hit with his first ball of day and found the perfect channel to draw Ajinkya Rahane to an edge.Anderson grabs the second wicket for England in 'The dream begin'While Rishabh Pan briefly shined for 37, and Ravindra Jadeja fought for 40 respectively, England did not allow India to score unrestricted.Mark Wood caught Pant behind, and Moeen Ali lured Shami to make a move to mid-wicket.

They are still playing. India looks a bit tired coming off the field."
