IND A vs ENG Lions Live Score, 2nd Unofficial Test: India A look to tighten grip on England Lions – The Times of India

India A vs England Lions Live Score, 2nd Unofficial Test: KL Rahul backed up his first-innings hundred with another classy 51 and Abhimanyu Easwaran struck a composed 80 as India A extended their overall lead to 184 runs against England Lions on Day 3 of the second unofficial Test.

After losing Yashasvi Jaiswal early, Rahul and Easwaran combined for a steady 88-run stand. Rahul, in particular, looked assured against both pace and spin, notching nine boundaries before falling to a top-edged pull. Easwaran continued confidently, striking ten fours before edging Chris Woakes to slip shortly after a bad light delay.

Earlier, England Lions resumed at 192/3 but suffered a dramatic morning collapse. Left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed led the charge, claiming 4/70 including key wickets of James Rew, George Hill, and Woakes. The visitors slumped to 266/8 by lunch. Despite the collapse, England’s last pair — Josh Tongue (36\) and young Eddie Jack — frustrated India A with a dogged 48-run stand before Anshul Kamboj ended the innings at 327. India A secured a slender 21-run first-innings lead.

At stumps, Dhruv Jurel and Nitish Kumar Reddy were unbeaten, with India A poised to set a challenging target on the final day.
