English bowlers stunt India's brisk-scoring hopes

MOHALI, India: England's bowlers ruined India's hopes of scoring quick runs on Monday on the penultimate day of the second and final cricket test, although the home side still amassed a 285 run lead with six wickets remaining.

With a 151-run first innings lead after dismissing England for 302 following a delayed start to the fourth day, India's batsmen only managed to make 134 for four in four hours.

India, which scored 453 in its first innings, was not able to score as fast as it would have liked to set up a victory push today, and with the final day's play again likely to be affected by dense winter fog a draw now looks to be the most likely result.
