India A dominated the first two days of their unofficial Test against the England Lions, posting a massive 557 runs thanks to Karun Nair’s stunning double century. However, the Lions showed impressive fightback on Day 2, reaching 237 for 2 at the close of play.

Leading the Lions’ resistance was Tom Haines, who crafted a magnificent unbeaten century (103). He received strong support from Max Holden, whose fluent 64 runs laid a solid foundation for the team’s response. The pair’s partnership ensured the Lions ended the day in a strong position, setting the stage for a thrilling Day 3.

With a significant deficit to overcome, the Lions will be hoping to build on this solid foundation and close the gap on India A’s substantial first innings total. All eyes will be on Haines and Holden as they continue their impressive batting display.
