Captain Kohli hits century as India stretch lead
December 10, 2016  16:26


India 450-7 (140 ovs) vs England 400 | Scorecard


Jayant looks to drive Moeen through the off-side but gets a thick inside edge which misses the bat and goes past the wicketkeeper, fine on the leg side for a four. He does get the next ball through the gap in the covers for a couple and then picks one.

After a brief rest, England's marathon man Rashid comes back into the attack. Jayant drives the third ball through the covers for a four and repeats the shot off Moeen in the next over for the same result to take his score to 28.

Kohli continues his superb shot making as he flays a full delivery from Rashid straight down the ground for a four and then takes a single as his score advances to 143.

Jayant gets a lifeline as the England players appeal for a catch down the leg side off Moeen but umpire Oxenford turns it. And interestingly, replays show Jayant had got a fine tickle before wicketkeeper Bairstow caught it but England have no reviews left to challenge the on-field umpire's call.

India have taken their score to 450 for seven in 140 overs, stretching their lead to 50 runs.

Kohli is looking in total control on 146, while Jayant is batting on 30 with the partnership worth 86 runs now.
