Rohit Sharma: Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav put up an unbeaten 45-run stand after England fought back in the last session to extend India's lead to 255 runs as the hosts reached 473/8 at stumps on Day 2 of the fifth and final Test at the HPCA Stadium here on Friday.

After debutant Devdutt Padikkal (65) and Sarfaraz Khan (56) steered India to a dominating position at the stroke of tea after skipper Rohit Sharma (103) and Shubman Gill (110) had laid the foundation, England staged a fightback in the last session of the day with 5 wickets for 52 runs.

Shoaib Bashir came to break the deadly-looking partnership, giving some reprise to the England camp by dismissing Sarfaraz for 56. Then came a special moment for Padikkal, who brought up his half-century on debut, becoming the fifth member of India's top five to reach 50 in this innings.
