Rishabh Pant's Aggressive Batting Extends India's Lead

On the fourth morning of the second Test in Birmingham, England took two wickets, including KL Rahul's, but India had a productive session thanks to Rishabh Pant's flamboyant batting. India scored 113 runs off 25 overs, reaching 177 for 3 at Lunch on Day 4, leading by 357 runs.

Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse troubled the batters, with Carse getting an edge from Rahul that raced for four. Despite the challenges, Rahul and Karun Nair extended their partnership to 45 before Nair was caught behind for 26. Rahul reached his fifty, but was soon bowled by Tongue. Pant then took charge, hitting boundaries and a six, extending India's lead past 350 before the break.

Brief scores: India 587 & 177/3 (KL Rahul 55, Rishabh Pant 41*; Josh Tongue 2-50) lead England 407 by 357 runs.
