Day 1 of the second Test belonged to India, thanks to KL Rahul’s brilliant century. On the second day, eyes would once again be on the skies and fans would pray that rain does not interrupt proceedings. The weather on Friday is expected to be overcast. Chances of rain on Friday are not there, but again, considering it is England – one cannot always get the predictions right.
There would also be humidity which would make the going uncomfortable for the players in the middle. India would look to get a huge first innings total and for that to happen, they need to ensure they can see off the first hour as the ball would still be fairly new.
