ENG Vs IND: Big blow for India as paceman Curran removes Shikhar, KL Rahul and Vijay, India 63/3
Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan are looking solid after England were bowled out for 287 on Day 2 of the first Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
India removed the tail swiftly. India’s got a decent start. Virat Kohli's men are set for the five-Test match series. England won the toss and opted to bat first.
Ravichandra Ashwin and Mohammed Shami scalped 4 wickets and 3 wickets respectively for the Indian side.
England skipper Joe Root top scored for the hosts with a fluent 80 runs but his run out from a brilliant throw by Indian Virat Kohli sparked their demise.
GET IN @CurranSM!!! 🙌
