Root, Broad help England avoid the follow-on

July 11, 2014 21:22

Eng 271-7 (83 ovs) vs India 457 | Scorecard

Jadeja bowls the 81st over giving away two singles before Ishant continues with the old ball, which goes for six runs.

Dhoni finally decides to take the second new ball and Bhuvneshwar comes back into the attack. Broad slams the first ball over the point region for a boundary as England avoid the follow-on.

Three balls later, Broad lofts it over mid-off for another four before Root plays a splendid drive through the covers to make it three fours in the over.
