2nd Test Visakhapatnam/IBNS: England's aggressive batting helped India in return as the visitors were reduced to 194/6 at lunch on the fourth day of second Test in Visakhapatnam on Monday.
Though Zak Crawley (73 off 132 balls) and Ollie Pope (23 off 21 balls) were looking ominous for the hosts, Rohit Sharma took a stunner off Ravichandran Ashwin's ball which saw the latter sent packing.

Joe Root counter-attacked following the 'Bazball' cricket but his aggression was short lived as Ashwin showed the exit route.
While Crawley was dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav, Jonny Bairstow was sent back to the pavilion by first innings star and premier bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
England still need 205 runs to win the Test to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
