ENG 84/4 (18)

IND vs ENG: Spin Introduced

Rohit Sharma has finally decided to give Yuzvendra Chahal some game time. The leg spinner had picked a four-wicket haul in the previous game.

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

That’s a good cover drive from Buttler. He hit the ball on the rise by trusting the bounce of the pitch and it ran for a four.  

ENG 78/4 (14.1)

IND vs ENG: WICKET!

Ben Stokes is out! Hardik Pandya has outfoxed Stokes on latter’s 27 off 29. Runs were not coming easily for England and this forced Stokes to jump out of his crease to score a boundary, but Hardik smartly bowled a bouncer on the batter’s body. Stokes edged the ball in the air and Hardik ran to the striker’s end to take the catch.   

ENG 74/4 (13.2)

IND vs ENG: Tight Bowling

Indian pacers have bowled on good line and length to keep England under check. Only 8 runs have come off the last four overs.

ENG 74/3 (13)

IND vs ENG: WICKET!

Jason Roy loses his wicket on 41 off 31 balls. It was a short ball from Hardik Pandya that raised to a good height and all Roy could do is to edge on the flick. Pant took the catch easily behind the stumps.

ENG 66/3 (9.5)

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

Prasidh Krishna bowled it a bit short and Roy flicked it from the back foot for an easy four. The outfield is as helpful to the batters as the pitch is. 

ENG 59/2 (8.1)

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

Easy things for Roy. It was a short ball from Siraj and he pulled it for a four. Indian pacers seem to have lost the plot after the first two wickets. Yes, the pitch is playing good for the batters but bowling could have been more disciplined. 

ENG 56/2 (7.3) 

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

This one is even better from Stokes. He got a fuller ball from Shami outside off stump and played a beautiful cover drive.

ENG 46/2 (6.3)

IND vs ENG: What A Shot!

That’s a terrific shot from Stokes. It was a short ball and he pulled it for a four.

ENG 42/2 (6.2)

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

Siraj tried to bowl a yorker but Roy comfortably took it as a full toss after coming down the track and hit it for a four on the off the side.

ENG 38/2 (6)

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

Good shot by Stokes. He flicked the ball from the middle stump for a four towards deep mid-wicket.

ENG 24/2 (3.5)

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

Siraj bowls one outside off stump to Stokes and the latter punches it from the back foot for a four.

ENG 20/2 (3.3)

IND vs ENG: WICKET!

This is magical bowling from Siraj. He has got the big man, Joe Root! It was bowled on a good length and the ball straightened beautifully with some good bounce. Root could do nothing but edge the ball to slip fielder Rohit Sharma.   

ENG 12/2 (2)

IND vs ENG: WICKET!

Mohammed Siraj strikes in his first over. The ball straightened a bit after pitching and Bairstow got an edge to hand a dolly to mid-off fielder Shreyas Iyer (substitute). 

ENG 12/1 (1.3)

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

Another boundary for Roy. He failed to get his bat properly on the ball but it still ran for a four. 

ENG 8/0 (0.2)

IND vs ENG: FOUR!

Oh, early sign says that this is a batting paradise. Roy drove it from the front foot for an easy four. 

ENG 4/0 (0.1)

IND vs ENG: It’s Game Time!

Mohammed Shami is ready with the new ball in hand. Jason Roy will face him, Jonny Bairstow is at the other end. Here we go!

ENG vs IND: Can India Repeat The Oval’s heroics?

India had bundled out England for a paltry total of 110 runs bowling first in the game. But in that match, they had Jasprit Bumrah, who had returned figures of 6 for 19. Can India put a similar effort today without Bumrah?

ENG vs IND: Virat In Spotlight!

This match holds a lot of significance for Virat Kohli, who is having a lean patch with the bat. Notably, he is already out of the West Indies tour and he would like to utilize today’s opportunity to score big. Have a glimpse of how Virat practised his shots today:

ENG vs IND: Series Hangs In Balance

While they were India, who started the three-match series with a dominating 10-wicket win, England bounced back in the second game with a 100-run victory. It will be really intersting to see how both the teams perform with the series in line. We are around 40 minutes away from the toss.
