Day 2 was also marred by rain, but despite that, skipper Jasprit Bumrah, after his superb batting assault earlier, went on to dismiss all three top-order English batters. He removed Zack Crawley, Michael Lees and Ollie Pope which saw the hosts reduced to 60/3.

However, rain interrupted play and it was when the players were rushing back towards the dressing room, the broadcasters showed how Virat Kohli was having a chat with Jonny Bairstow. 

The former India captain was seen putting his hand over the English batter’s shoulders and saying something. While no one know what the conversation was about, fans speculated what these two must be discussing.
