An abrupt end to fourth day's play of the second Test match between England and India at Lord's, London Sunday. And big relief for India with six down for a lead of 154. England insisted on having the new ball and with fading light, it was out of option. The play was stopped and stumps. India were 181/6 (82) with Rishabh Pant and Ishant Sharma unbeaten on 14 and 4 respectively. India's top three were back in the hut inside the 24th over, then a 100-run stand between Cheteshwar Pujara (45) and Ajinkya Rahane (61) resurrected the innings only to let the advantage slip. Mark Wood was impressive, getting the wickets of KL Rahul (5), Rohit Sharma (21) and Pujara. Then, Moeen Ali got a couple -- those of Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja (3). In between, Sam Curran got the wicket of Kohli (20). Now, India's hopes lie with maverick Pant. Catch Day 4 highlights and cricket scores of 2nd ENG vs IND Test match:
