India were bundled out for a paltry 107 on the second day of the Lord's Test and their performance with the bat was reminiscent of their poor showing four years ago. However, Ajinkya Rahane believes that the visitors can still bounce back from the dire situation. "You never know, the match can still be interesting if we get them out early and bat well in the second innings," he told icc-cricket.com on Friday. James Anderson's 5/20 troubled every Indian batsman, and the 38-ball 29 scored by Ravichandran Ashwin was the highest score on the visitors' woeful scorecard.
"We need to believe. Belief is important. There's a long way to go in this match. You never know, the series can still be 1-1 at the end of this match."
Rahane scored a 44-ball 18 and admitted that batting was a difficult prospect, but he credited Anderson for keeping on the pressure.
