England Lions vs India A 2nd Unofficial Test Live Streaming Details, When And Where To Watch: England Lions take on India A in the second unofficial Test of the two-match series starting Friday, June 6, at the County Ground in Northampton. The visitors hope to continue their good form against the strong hosts after an intense encounter in the first unofficial Test in Canterbury, where both teams refused to give away ascendancy.
The high-scoring draw saw comeback man Karun Nair play a marathon knock of 204 in the first innings, announcing his return ahead of the Test series against England. Middle-order stars Sarfaraz Khan (92) and Dhruv Jurel (94) also batted well before missing out on hundreds as India A compiled a score of 557 in the first innings.
Josh Hull (3/72) and Zaman Akhter (3/73) bagged three wickets apiece for England Lions.
In response, the hosts piled on a massive 587 following a trio of hundreds from opener Tom Haines (171) and middle-order batters Max Holden (101) and Dan Mousley (113).
Pacer Mukesh Sharma was the only shining light in India A's bowling effort with his 3/92, which once again raised question marks on the tourists' bowling stocks for the challenging English summer.
With the match headed for a draw, Yashasvi Jaiswal (64) and India A skipper Abhimanyu Easwaran (68) earned some valuable time in the middle with a pair of half-centuries. As did Jurel (53*) with his second fifty of the match alongside Nitish Reddy, who made a return to form with his 52*.
England Lions will be boosted by the addition of young seamer Josh Tongue alongside all-rounder George Hill, with Chris Woakes and Jordan Cox also set to join the team.
On the other hand, India A will continue missing in-form players Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill. The duo was initially set to play the second unofficial Test.

Ponting names Virat Kohli's replacement in India XI vs England, doesn't want KL Rahul to open: 'It makes life easier'
India will begin a new era in Test cricket on June 20 when the side takes on England in the first Test of the five-match series at Headingley. Shubman Gill will lead the side that will be without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, with both retiring from the format last month. While Gill's captaincy justifiably be in focus, another major point of discussion is Kohli's replacement at the no.4 spot. Kohli took the position from the great Sachin Tendulkar when he called time on his career in 2013, and held the role successfully for the next 12 years. According to former Australia captain and multiple World Cup-winner Ricky Ponting, Gill should succeed Kohli in the role. Ponting believes that taking over the no.4 role will make it easier for Gill to lead the Indian team as well. Interestingly, Ponting doesn't want KL Rahul to open the innings. "I think (Sai) Sudarshan and (Yashasvi) Jaiswal will open the batting (in England) as Sudarshan just looks like a class player to me and technically I think he could do well at Test level," Ponting told The ICC Review. "They'll have two pretty young opening batters, so they might look to go for someone that's got a bit more experience at No.3. 'Whether that's KL (Rahul) or Karun (Nair) at No.3, and then Shubman might end up being that No.4 player, which will probably make life for him a little bit easier as a captain as well.' Ponting believes that opening the batting or playing at no.3 – which had been Gill's designated role in Tests so far – will put pressure on the youngster. 'Not having to be opening or batting at No.3 as a young captain might make it easier. Their top five will probably be Sudarshan, Jaiswal, KL, Gill and Karun Nair for the start of the England series,' said the Aussie great. KL Rahul, meanwhile, smashed a century for India A while opening the batting during the second warm-up match against England Lions on Friday. Rahul scored 116 after India A batted first, with Dhruv Jurel also scoring a half-century. Rahul had been opening the innings for the side in the absence of Rohit Sharma during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but was shifted to middle-order when the former captain linked up with the side ahead of the second Test.

IND vs ENG Test series: K.L. Rahul signals top-order readiness with warm-up hundred
K.L. Rahul's composed hundred in the ongoing second unofficial test against England Lions will bring much relief to the India team management ahead of the five-test series in England. Partnering with Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top of the batting order, Rahul produced a chanceless knock of 116 in Northampton on a lively track in overcast conditions on Friday (June 6, 2025). Touchdown UK 🛬#TeamIndia have arrived for the five-match Test series against England 🙌# — BCCI (@BCCI) June 7, 2025 India, under new captain Shubman Gill, have been left with gaping holes in their top order after opener Rohit Sharma and stalwart Virat Kohli quit test cricket last month. While Rahul, who can bat practically anywhere in the lineup, is likely to succeed Rohit as Jaiswal's opening partner, either Gill or Karun Nair is likely to fill the void of Kohli at number four. Nair, who played the last of his six tests in 2017, smashed a double hundred in the first unofficial test in Canterbury. 'We haven't really decided on the (batting order), we still have some time,' Gill had said in his pre-departure press conference in Mumbai. 'We will be playing an intra-squad match and we will be having a 10-day camp in London. So we still have a little bit of time and I think we can decide on the batting order once we go there.' The five-test series begins in Leeds on June 20 Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Indian cricket team arrived in the United Kingdom for its much-anticipated five-match Test series against England, starting later this month. The series is part of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship cycle. Team India departed for the U.K. from Mumbai on Friday night. A new-look Indian side will be led by newly-appointed skipper Shubman Gill, marking the beginning of a new era following the recent retirements of stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Several Indian players had already reached England as part of the India A squad currently engaged in a three-match unofficial Test series against England Lions. 'It's good to be a part of the Indian cricket team, especially in a Test series. Welcome to the UK,' newcomer Sai Sudharsan said in a video posted by the BCCI on 'X'. The first Test will be played in Leeds from June 20, followed by matches in Birmingham (July 2–6), Lord's (July 10–14), Manchester (July 23–27), and The Oval (August 4–8).

T20 Mumbai League: Prithvi Shaw Leads North Mumbai Panthers To First Win
North Mumbai Panthers, led by Prithvi Shaw, secured their first victory of the T20 Mumbai League 2025, defeating ARCS Andheri by five wickets at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. Shaw set the tone for the match with a brisk 33 runs off 23 balls, while his opening partner, Divyaansh Saxena, contributed significantly with a score of 36 runs from 31 balls. In the third match of the day, the MSC Maratha Royals triumphed over the Eagle Thane Strikers by six wickets at DY Patil Stadium, thanks to impressive half-centuries from skipper Siddhesh Lad and Chinmay Sutar. Earlier in the day, in a marquee showdown between India's white-ball stars, Shreyas Iyer's SoBo Mumbai Falcons edged out Suryakumar Yadav's Triumphs Knights Mumbai North East by four wickets in a tense T20 Mumbai League 2025 Season 3 encounter here on Friday. Put in to bat, the Knights struggled on a pitch offering seam movement, managing 145/5. After a shaky start and Suryakumar's early dismissal for 1 by Kartik Mishra, opener Siddhant Adhatrao held firm with a gritty half-century. He shared a 46-run stand with Suryash Shedge before falling to Nikhil Giri. Suryash (49* off 21) and Makarand Patil (13*) added a late flourish, stitching an unbeaten 33-run partnership in the final overs. The Falcons' reply began on a shaky note with Hitesh Kadam removing Ishan Mulchandani and Shreyanssh Rai off successive balls. But Iyer (13) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi steadied the innings with a 54-run stand before Iyer was trapped LBW by Parikshit Valsangkar. Vinayak Bhoir (33) and Akash Parkar (30) then took control with a 56-run partnership that brought the Falcons within striking distance. Though Bhoir perished while accelerating, Parkar and Kush Kariya held their nerve to see the Falcons home with four balls to spare. Bandra Blasters pip Aakash Tigers by 1 run Bandra Blasters held their nerve to clinch a thrilling one-run win over Aakash Tigers in the opening match of Day 3 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Friday. Led by a sharp spell from pacer Dhanit Raut (4/29), the Blasters overcame a gritty chase anchored by veteran opener Jay Bista's half-century. Chasing a modest 154, Aakash Tigers were rocked early, losing their top four for just 20 runs. However, opener Jay Bista staged a spirited fightback with a brisk 48-ball 55, featuring four fours and two sixes, to revive hopes. But once Dhanit Raut dismissed the in-form batter, the Tigers struggled to keep up with the required rate and eventually fell short, finishing at 152/8. Earlier, put in to bat, Bandra Blasters recovered from a shaky start to post a competitive total of 153. Om Keshkamat anchored the innings with a top score of 40, while Dhrumil Matkar chipped in with a valuable 33. For the Tigers, left-arm spinner Shams Mulani was the standout performer, picking up 3/12 in a tidy spell. The third edition of the T20 Mumbai League, one of India's leading domestic franchise-based T20 tournaments, is being telecast on Star Sports 1 (English & Hindi), Star Sports 2 (English), and JioHotstar.
