The second Test match between India and England was scheduled unfortunately play has been called due to rain. Not a single ball was bowled today and even toss couldn’t take place. The umpires have had enough, it’s stumps for today. A very bad start to the second Test of this blockbuster 5-match series, which the hosts lead by 1-0.
Stuart Broad was back in rhythm with the ball in the first test match and now in second test he could enter the elite club.

Broad has so far 2,988 runs in his Test career, He is close to becoming the only fifth all-rounder in the history of Test cricket to have scored 3000 runs and picked up 400 or more wickets.
