Openers Cook, Hameed stretch England's lead

November 12, 2016 15:46

England 70-0 (20 ovs) & 537 vs India 488 | Scorecard

Five overs for Ashwin in the opening spell before Kohli brings back pace in the form of Umesh Yadav. He attempts a short ball at Cook, who pulls it comfortably through square leg for a four to take his score to 27.

Meanwhile, Jadeja continues his long first spell as he bowls his ninth over on the trot but still no signs of leg-spinner Amit Mishra despite the good showing by Rashid earlier in the day.

A desperate Kohli has now brought on fast bowlers from both ends with Jadeja also taken off the attack after nine overs.

England have progressed nicely to 70 for no loss in 20 overs to swell their lead to 119 runs with all 10 wickets in hand.

Hameed has been positive from the start, to score 46 from 68 balls, while Cook has grown in confidence after a nervy start to make 29 from 52 balls.
