It was an engaging day of cricket which saw England post a total of 400 while India remains unbeaten at 146-1 at the crease in their first innings. The day also saw two highly controversial decisions which were the major talking points.
The first act was Ben Stokes’s dismissal which was a controversial one and KL Rahul’s six judged as four was the second one.
So the game is evenly poised after two days of cricket.
So here are five talking points of the day :
Ben stokes decision : The DRS system was once again in the spotlight as Ben Stokes got out controversially to Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin bowled a beauty which seemed to have got a faint edge of Stoke’s bat and Virat Kohli took an excellent catch diving forward. The on-field umpire was not happy with what he had seen and ruled out the appeal. But Virat went upstairs and got the decision reversed by the third umpire which left Stokes fuming.
