India vs England Test 2 Day 2

Gary Ballance's century helps England reach 219-6 in reply to India's 295 on day two of the second Test at Lord's. England is trailing by 76 at the end of the day. Earlier in the morning England did not have to spend much time cleaning up the last Indian wicket wrapping up the Indian first inning at 295.

Cook continued the bad phase by getting out cheaply at 10.

The highlights of the day were a superb hundred for Ballance and some lovely bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. England were 4/211 at some point and seemed to be running away with the game when two quick wickets were taken by India tilting the balance even.

However, a four-wicket burst in the middle session followed by another dismissal shortly after tea put England in control - See more at: http://www.hindustantimes.com/sports-news/cricketnews/live-scores-and-updates-india-up-against-england-in-2nd-test-at-lord-s-amidst-james-anderson-ravindra-jadeja-row/article1-1241451.aspx#sthash.L7AacL0W.dpuf
