India got off to a cautious yet eventful start in their second innings on Day 4 of the fifth Test against England, with openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul navigating a testing new-ball spell under overcast skies. At stumps, India stood at 29/0 after seven overs, wiping out the deficit and gaining a slender lead.

While Jaiswal looked assertive, stroking his way to a brisk 25 off 20 balls with a flurry of boundaries, KL Rahul had to dig deep, facing a probing spell from Josh Tongue. The England pacer, who had a forgettable first innings, bowled with rhythm and accuracy, consistently troubling Rahul with wobble seam and sharp movement off the pitch.
