India 455 (Kohli 167, Pujara 119, Ashwin 58, Moeen 3-98) v England Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details

England wrapped up India’s innings for 455 in the first hour after lunch on the second afternoon in Visakhapatnam, after R Ashwin and the debutant Jayant Yadav had bolstered the lower-order with a 64-run stand for the eighth wicket.

First to go after lunch was Ashwin, who brought up his fourth half-century in eight Tests against England before feathering a catch through to Jonny Bairstow to give Ben Stokes a hard-earned first wicket of the innings.

Jayant, who batted with composure for 84 deliveries in his first appearance, had reached 35 when he chanced his arm once too often against Adil Rashid and skied an easy catch to James Anderson in the covers.

His namesake, Umesh Yadav, gave the crowd some late entertainment with a string of lusty blows, while the No.11 Mohammad Shami chipped in with a meaty clout for six over long-off. But Umesh fell at cow corner for 13 to give Rashid his second scalp.
