London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Aug, 2018 ) :India were 17 for two in their second innings, a deficit of 272 runs, when rain forced an early lunch on the fourth day of the second Test against England at Lord's on Sunday.

James Anderson became the first bowler to take 100 Test wickets at Lord's when he had Murali Vijay caught behind for a duck.

And at lunch the England paceman had figures of two wickets for eight runs in five overs after KL Rahul, India's other opener, was lbw for 10.

Cheteshwar Pujara was five not out and Ajinkya Rahane one not out, with India captain Virat Kohli unable to bat in his regular number four position because of a stiff back.

Chris Woakes was 137 not out, the Warwickshire all-rounder having completed his maiden Test century on Saturday.
