July 17, 2014  21:48
India 196-7 (75 ovs) vs Eng | Scorecard

Rahane smashes a short ball from Plunkett over the cover region for a boundary to bring up his half-century in some style, from 101 balls. A very good innings from the youngster under the circumstances on a wicket offering a lot of help to the pace bowlers.

The last ball is again short and wide and this time Rahane hammers it through point for the second four of the over.

Bhuvneshwar is proving to be effective with the bat yet again as he survives 50 deliveries at the crease without looking in any sort of problem.

Rahane is lucky to survive as Plunkett nearly gets the edge with a perfect outswinger which moves away.

Bhuvneshwar gaining in confidence as he flicks Stokes fine on the leg side for a four. In the next over, Rahane pulls a short ball from Plunkett through the square leg region for a four and the next ball is also pulled but this time for a single with three men on the boundary now.

After 75 overs, India have reached 196 for seven with Rahane on 61 and Kumar on 18. The duo have so far put on 51 runs from 106 balls for the eighth wicket to rally India after the flurry of wickets.
