Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Day 2 of England Lions Vs India A Live Score, 1st Unofficial Test. Karun Nair made a compelling case for a Test comeback with a sublime unbeaten 186 on Day 1 of the unofficial Test against England Lions in Canterbury as Indian A post a mammoth score 409/3 at the end. Walking in early after skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran's dismissal, Nair weathered the early swing before unleashing a wide array of strokes to notch up his 24th first-class hundred. Supported well by Sarfaraz Khan, Nair punished the inexperienced Lions attack, riding his luck at times but never letting the momentum slip. His fluent knock, filled with crisp drives and audacious reverse sweeps, comes as a timely reminder of his red-ball prowess ahead of the Leeds Test.
