Session Timings for Day 2
Session 1: 9:30 am to 11:30 am | Lunch: 11:30 am – 12:10 pm | Session 2: 12:10 pm -14:40 pm | Tea Time: 02:40 pm – 03:00 pm | Session 3: 03:00 pm – 05: 00 pm | 98 Overs for the day | If 98 Overs are not bowled, it can be extended to 05:30 pm
Under fire after failing to get a hundred in a long time, Pujara was out to a shot which is his ‘bread-and butter’ when he is in good touch
Frittering away yet another chance to make his innings count, Gill – who had begun India’s charge with three sweetly-timed fours off Kyle Jamieson in the second over of the match – jabbed at a Patel delivery outside off-stump that kissed his outside edge and landed in Ross Taylor’s hands at first slip
STAT ATTACK
Spinning the ball or making it go through straight, the Mumbai-born spinner scalped Gill, and then ‘big guns’ Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli for ducks, taking three wickets in a 10-ball spell that ripped the heart out of the Indian middle order
When play began at 12 pm, skipper Virat Kohli won the toss, for a change, and batted. Agarwal and fellow opener Shubman Gill (44, 71b, 7×4, 1×6) then got India off to a smooth 80-run start before Patel began his magical spell
The excellence on display by both the opener and the left-arm spinner made up for the agonising wait for the Test to begin, after wet outfield meant that the pre-lunch session was cancelled
Cricket is a team sport, but throughout the day, it seemed like a classic arm-wrestling tussle was on between Agarwal and Patel, with the only difference being that while Agarwal had some support from his batting colleagues, Patel had none from his fellow spinners
With Agarwal at the wheel, India, after looking like they would skid badly at 80 for three, having lost skipper Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli for ducks, finished the day at a commanding 221 for four

Stroking his first hundred (120 batting; 246b, 14×4, 4×6) in two years, not only did Mayank Agarwal resuscitate his own career but also resurrected an Indian innings which was beginning to fall apart despite a solid foundation
