After a slight rain delay, the action is finally underway at Chelmsford. India will look to scalp those three wickets whereas England will look to add as many runs possible.

Score after 62 overs

ENG U-19 229-7

There is no rain at the moment at the County Ground in Chelmsford. We can finally get some action on the field. We see the fielding team's players walk out.

The second day of the 2nd India U19 vs England U19 Test has been delayed due to rain in Chelmsford. The groundstaff finally arrive and are seen covering the pitch with a white sheet to cover the ground.

It has started to pour in Chelmsford with the players and staff off the ground with the live streaming beaming down pictures of rain. And the unusual part is that the pitch isn't covered by the ground staff. Strange!

And we begin. England resume day 2 of the game at 229/7. Ekansh Singh (66 runs off 98) and James Minto (18 runs off 36 balls) are at the crease for England as India require three wickets to bat. However, start has been delayed.
