Rishabh Pant Helps India Take Strong Lead Against England On Day 2

Rishabh Pant hit a defiant 101 to put India in control of the fourth and final Test against England on Friday.

Left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman Pant made light of the tough conditions and reached his third Test hundred with a six off Joe Root's spin.

Pant, who smacked Anderson for his 13th boundary with an audacious reverse hit over slips, finally fell to the veteran quick and walked off to a standing ovation.

A complete carnage ensued post-tea as Rishabh Pant (101 off 118 balls, 13x4s, 2x6s) dominated a tiring and limited England bowling line-up. India scored 141 runs in the third session and lost just one wicket, and ended the second day at 294 for seven wickets -- a lead of 89 runs. They still have three wickets in hand. England had made 205 in the first innings.
