England off to a steady start against India
July 12, 2018



England 26-0 (5 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Umesh gets one to bounce more than expected as Roy gets a thick outside edge which falls safely for a single on the off-side.

Umesh pitches the next one right up as Bairstow slaps it down the ground for a four past mid-off. The next ball is short of good length as Bairstow punches it through the covers for another boundary.

Nine runs from the over as India reach 20 for no loss in three overs.

Kaul sticks to a good line and length, bowling to his field on the off-side and ends up giving away just a single in his second over.

Roy, who has struggled to seven from 14 balls, drives uppishly straight back at Umesh, who fails to hold on to the sharp chance on his follow through.

A good over is spoilt by a poor delivery from Umesh as he slips it down the leg side with Bairstow glancing it fine for a four as England reach 26 for no loss in five overs.
