Buttler, Stokes rally England
July 12, 2018
Another good over from Kuldeep, who gives away just four singles in his seventh over.
Pacer Umesh comes back as India look for a breakthrough with both Stokes and Buttler looking to bat sensibly and preserve their wickets for a dash at the end.
Stokes picks one before Buttler steers a wide delivery through the covers for a couple and takes one from the last ball.
It has been a contrasting approach from the two England batsmen with Stokes content to play cautiously, scoring 31 from 67 balls at a strike rate of below, while Buttler has stroked his way to 34 from 29 balls.
Pace from both ends as Kaul comes back from the other end. He sends down a decent over, giving away just six runs in his fifth over.
