London: Ollie Pope and Jonny Bairstow added 77 runs for the unbroken sixth wicket to engineer a recovery as England reached 139 for 5 at lunch against India on the second day of the fourth Test.
Umesh Yadav (3/49 in 13 overs) dismissed night-watchman Craig Overton (1) and Dawid Malan (31) in quick succession to reduce England to 62 for 5.

India scored 191 in their first innings riding on Thakur’s half-century.
