Ishant triggers collapse as India close in on victory

July 21, 2014 18:44

Eng 2nd inns: 201-8 (82 ovs); Target: 319 | Scorecard

India decide against taking the second new ball as Jadeja continues, bowling on the rough to new batsman Ben Stokes, who watchfully plays out the over.

England are falling into India's short ball trap and this time it is Stokes, who top edges the pull and is caught on the leg side for a duck, his third in a row in the series.

Ishant claims his fifth wicket to get his name on the Lord's honours board.

England are reduced to 201 for seven, with 118 runs more needed for victory as India close in on victory.

And Root also succumbs to the bouncer as he holes out to Stuart Binny at deep square leg to be dismissed after a wonderful innings of 66 from 146 balls.
