India 103/2 at lunch on day 1 of second Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal slams fifty
Visakhapatnam/IBNS: Riding on young Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten half-century, India recorded a successful opening session of the second Test in Visakhapatnam on Friday.
India stopped at 103/2 when the players went for lunch.
Winning the toss and opting to bat first, India's openers- Jaiswal and skipper Rohit Sharma- chose to go steady against the English bowlers in the first session.
While Jaiswal hit some visually impressive shots on the off-side, Rohit fell to Shoaib Bashir while batting at 14 off 41 balls with no boundary added against his name.
5⃣0⃣ up & going strong! 💪 💪
