That's LUNCH in Motera
India 80/4 at lunch on Day 2, trail by 125 runs. India lost a big wicket in the form of Ajinkya Rahane (27) at the stroke of lunch. India were 80/4 at the end of first session with Rohit Sharma (32 not out) at the crease. India, who resumed batting at 24/1, lost Cheteshwar Pujara and captain Virat Kohli in quick succession. Pujara (17) was adjudged LBW to spinner Jack Leach, while Kohli failed to open his account and edged a Ben Stokes delivery to Ben Foakes behind the stumps. England had folded for 205 in their first innings. India are leading the series 2-1 and need just a draw or win to qualify for the World Test Championship final against New Zealand to be held in June.

Sheer brilliance of Stokes to produce that kind of delivery in these conditions to get a great batsman out.

Nitin Menon is a damn good umpire. Our umpires get a lot of flak....some totally unwarranted too...but here’s a guy who’s right up there with the best in the world. Let’s acknowledge and appreciate that

BIG WICKET! CAPTAIN KOHLI FALLS
BIG WICKET! Ben Stokes removes Virat Kohli for a duck. Pin drop silence in Motera right now. Short of a length delivery from Stokes. Kohli surprised by the bounce, gets an edge and the ball straight goes straight into the keeper's gloves. Stokes exults in celebration. He knows he has got the big man. INDIA 41/3
