England 142-7 at lunch in second India Test

VISAKHAPATNAM: England were staring down the barrel at 142 for seven at lunch on the fifth and final day of the second Test against India in Visakhapatnam on Monday.

Chasing an unlikely 405 for victory, wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow (23) and Zafar Ansari (0) were battling for survival after Indian bowlers claimed five wickets in the morning session.

The visitors, who resumed the day on 87 for two, are 263 runs behind their victory target as India need three more wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
