By IANS News February 06, 2021 • 18:12 PM View: 2172

England will be looking to bat for another hour on the third day of their first Test against India and are not thinking about declaration after ending the second day on 555 runs for eight wickets. England has now batted for six full sessions in the first Test.

"There are no thoughts of declaration tonight because that would be stupid if we won the toss and batted first. You just get as many runs as you can here in India. If we can bat for another hour tomorrow then we would be very happy with it," Stokes told the media in a virtual interaction after the second day's play on Saturday.
