India v England: Watch Day Two highlights from first Test in Rajkot
Friday 11 November 2016 07:09, UK
Three hundreds but no wickets - England's first-Test fortunes against India offer a stark contrast after day two.
Click on the video above to see the best of the action from the second day in Rajkot, as England posted 537 only for their hosts to ease to 63-0 at stumps.
After Joe Root's classy 124 on day one, Ben Stokes (128) and Moeen Ali (117) both posted hundreds - the latter, reaching his in the first over of the day after being 99 not out overnight.
When Ali was bowled bizarrely for 117 when leaving a straight ball by Mohammad Shami, Stokes took up the challenge - but only after he was dropped twice by Wriddhiman Saha in consecutive Umesh Yadav overs.
Stokes shared in a 99-run stand with Jonny Bairstow (46), who fell to Shami just before lunch as Saha finally clung onto one behind the stumps.
All-rounder Stokes reached three figures in the afternoon, but struggled for fluency before eventually edging Yadav down the leg-side.
India openers Murali Vijay and Gautam Gambhir put England's first dig into some context by posting a fifty stand off 95 balls in relative comfort.
