IND vs ENG, 2nd Test Day 4 : India won the second Test in Visakhapatnam by 106 runs because to a brilliant finish from Jasprit Bumrah, who took wicket number three of the innings. As a result, India has tied the five-match Test series at one. The third match is set to begin on February 15 in Rajkot. Throughout the day, England batted in two different ways in the first and second sessions.
In the opening session, the visitors came out swinging, and although they initially applied pressure to the Indians, the hosts stormed back with a quick burst of wickets in the last moments of the session. Ben Stokes, the captain, and Ben Foakes appeared to be trying to grind their way through to Tea in the second, though. But Stokes ultimately went down as a result of a superb direct hit from Shreyas Iyer, somewhat assisted by some careless running by the England skipper.
Then Tom Hartley entered and raised the stakes. Ben Foakes and he shared a 55-run partnership off of just 74 balls before the latter was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah. With Mukesh Kumar having taken his first wicket of the game off Shoaib Bashir, England was down to their final wicket. Bumrah picked up his tenth wicket of the game by cleanly finishing off Hartley.

Zak Crawley played a terrific innings until Kuldeep Yadav sent him back for 73 off 132 balls, just before lunchtime. When play started in the second session, Stokes had to bat with their final four batsmen after Bumrah removed Jonny Bairstow to close the first session.
Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley had a tense partnership going into the opening session, but Ashwin broke it up when Rohit made a wonderful grab at slip to send the former back on 23 off 21. After Crawley and Pope had despatched them to every area of the park, that gave India a boost.
Joe Root, who swung his way to 16 off 10, gave Ashwin another major scalp. Nightwatchman Rehan Ahmed was the first wicket of the day for Axar Patel. He did, however, also give up runs everywhere, as Rehan managed to score 23 off of 31 balls. In the early going of the first session, Crawley, along with Pope, turned fifty and dominated Axar. India had taken one of their ten required wickets.
