In another rain-interrupted affair on Day 2 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata only 21 overs could be bowled throughout the day. However, the first session proved to be an intriguing one. The pitch continued to generate much assistance for the pacers while the batsmen sensed they were playing in England.

Ajinkya Rahane who was looking good ended up throwing his wicket away. Coming out to bat at No.6, Ravichandran Ashwin tried to get a pinch of the conditions. However, he too failed to prolong his stay at the crease as India were left reeling at 50/5.

For a change today it was Dasun Shanaka who was amongst the wickets. He accounted for the wickets of both Rahane and Ashwin. Lahiru Gamage bowled well but didn’t get wickets. Suranga Lakmal continued to follow up yesterday’s spectacle with another splendid spell.

However, if there was one Indian batsman who maintained to display his grit and determination, it was Cheteshwar Pujara. Batting for 102 balls, Pujara hit 9 boundaries in his innings of 47 not out. Having had a county stint recently with Nottinghamshire, Pujara must have had a similar feeling playing on the green top under overcast conditions at Eden Gardens.

On the other hand, Wriddhiman Saha managed to hold on to the crease before rain spoiled yet another day of cricket. With the forecast better for tomorrow, the Eden Gardens would be hoping for a better turnout and a full day of cricket. Looking at the conditions, there are still chances of a result by the end of the five days.

Twitter enjoyed the first session of the game thoroughly. While they had reservations about the weather conditions, it was an exciting session of game, to say the least. While Pujara was lauded for his fantastic batting, Rahane faced trolls for losing his patience.

Here we present to you some of the Twitter reactions from today’s play:
