Vijay hits half-century to put India on top
December 09, 2016  15:42


India 104-1 (35 ovs) vs England 400 | Scorecard


Ben Stokes comes into the attack and starts with a maiden to Puarja, who has once again looked in complete control. In the next over, he cuts Rashid for two runs to the point region before Stokes bowls another tight over, conceding just a single to Vijay.

Vijay then turns Rashid through the leg side for two runs before he hits a full toss over mid-off for a four and then takes one to close in on his half-century.

The ball was changed after 31 overs with the umpires unhappy with the shape.

Rashid has been pretty disappointing and has struggled with his line. He bowls another on the leg side which Vijay turns fine and urges Pujara to come back for three runs.

Double change for England as Moeen and Anderson come into the attack, replacing Rashid and Stokes.

While Moeen concedes just one in the first over of his new spell, Anderson is hit for a couple of boundaries by Pujara.

The first ball of Anderson's fifth over is steered through the vacant thirdman region for a four before he cuts a short ball past point for another boundary to take India past the 100-run mark, in the 35th over.
