Indian medium pace bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya claimed his maiden five-wicket haul that gives huge first innings lead and shapes the match for the visiting side India in the ongoing Trent Bridge Test.

The day two of the third Test between England and India at Trent Bridge (Nottingham) had a delayed start due to the wet outfield. India began the day on their overnight score 307/6 but bundled out for just 329 runs. Debutant wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who was not out at last night on 22 runs, was dismissed on 24 runs.

Among the English bowlers, James Anderson (3/64), Stuart Broad (3/72) and Chris Woakes (3/75) picked up three wickets each while Adil Rashid (1/46) claimed the only wicket.

In reply, England had a good start as the openers Alastair Cook (29) and Keaton Jennings (20) put a 54-run opening partnership. But once they were dismissed in back-to-back deliveries, England batting faced a massive collapse.

Only the no.7 batsman Jos Buttler reached the 30-run mark as he scored 39 runs while Cook and Jennings are the only other English batsmen in that innings to reach the 20-run mark. England’s first innings ended in just 38.2 overs after they were bowled out for just 161 runs and India took a massive 168 runs lead.

Indian medium-pacer Hardik Pandya scalped five wickets as his bowling figure was 6-1-28-5. On the other hand, other Indian pacers Ishant Sharma (2/32) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/37) took two wickets each while Mohammed Shami (1/56) picked up one wicket.
