Ishant's triple strike leaves England in a mess

Eng 173-4 (60 ovs) vs India 457 | Scorecard

Ishant is all charged up at the moment. He is bowling full and getting the ball to dart in sharply. Joe Root is tentative to come forward and nearly drags one back on to his stumps as it goes on the leg side.

The pacer then leaves Root hanging as he gets one to move away, missing the edge of the bat by a whisker.

Meanwhile, Bell hits Bhuvneshwar for three boundaries in the 59th over as England look to settle down after those two quick wickets after the lunch break.

Bell looks in good touch as he flicks Ishant through the leg side for his sixth four to take his score to 25.

However, against the run of play Bell loses his wicket to Ishant after being caught in two minds. The right-hander initially decided to steer the ball to thirdman before deciding to let it go but it caught the bottom part of the bat on the way to wicketkeeper Dhoni to fall for 25.

Ishant has been wonderful with the ball after the lunch taking three for 23 in six overs post the lunch break. His total figures read three for 57 in 17 overs.
