At the end of Day 2 of the 4th Test match between India and England, the dynamics of the game have taken an intriguing turn. England after winning the toss on Day 1, opted to bat, only to face a relentless Indian attack. The top-order of the visiting team struggled in the 1st session, losing 5 wickets with debutant Akash Deep leaving a remarkable imprint.

Root's stellar performance saw him achieving his 31st Test Hundred, with the 10th against India.
