Rain provided some relief to India who were struggling at 17 for two in their second innings when early lunch was taken on day four of the second Test against England at Lord's here. At the break, Cheteshwar Pujara (5) and Ajinkya Rahane (1) were the unbeaten batsmen. This was after England declared their first innings at 396 for in 88.1 overs, taking a 289-run lead. India were bowled out for 107 runs in their first innings.

Starting from overnight 357-6, England looked for some quick runs in this morning session. But they didn't come so easily as Mohammed Shami (3-96) bowled a very sharp spell. He beat Chris Woakes (137 not out) and Sam Curran (40) on a number of occasions, but was unlucky to not induce any edges at all.
