India A play England Lions in their second unofficial Test – follow the live score here, along with updates and latest news from the match.

The India A contingent, a part of which will feature in the upcoming England Tests, play their second unofficial Test against the Lions starting June 6. The match will be played at Northampton, and will feature a host of international players. For India, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan were set to fly out and play the game, but have now opted out. KL Rahul, however, is likely to feature, alongside others who featured in the first India A game.

For the Lions, Josh Tongue and Chris Woakes have been included for the second game, looking to get match practice before the Test series, especially with England's pace attack dealing with injuries. The Lions squad does not have Sonny Baker and Josh Hull, both down with injuries. The first unofficial Test ended in a draw.
