Rohit Sharma played a vital role for India in the first innings of the second Test after scoring an impressive 84 runs and putting up a 100-run stand along with centurion KL Rahul. 

England seamer James Anderson dismissed Rohit and Cheteshwar Pujara to give the hosts hope of clawing their way back but India skipper Virat Kohli (42) stitched together a 117-run partnership with Rahul before departing.

However, India witnessed another middle-order collapse and were all out on 364 with James Anderson taking a fifer.
