CHELMSFORD (UK): (Jul 21) India reached 51 for one at stumps after Ekansh Singh’s fighting century guided England to 309 on a rain-hit day two of the second Youth Test here on Monday.

At close of play, Ayush Mhatre was batting on 20 alongside Vihaan Malhotra on six, with India U-19 trailing by 258 runs.

Only 28.3 overs were possible on Day 2 after overnight and morning rain caused a delayed start to the proceedings, which was marked by multiple interruptions.
