England off to a good start after India elect to bowl

January 15, 2017 13:54

England 28-0 (5 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Roy on fire as he cuts a short ball from Yadav over the point region for a four. But the pacer soon gets his revenge as Roy is given out leg before wicket as umpire CK Nandan upholds the appeal.

After a brief consultation with his partner, Roy takes the DRS. The ball tracker shows that the impact was on the leg stump and the ball would have slided down the leg side and missed the stumps.

So, a reprieve for Roy as he makes good use of the review system.

Pandya bowls a near unplayable delivery to Hales, good movement and some extra bounce as Hales is beaten all ends up. He has settled into a good rhythm after being hit for two fours in his first over.

Hales looks to pull a short ball but gets a top edge which falls safely on the leg side as Ravi Ashwin stops inside the ropes and Roy keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Yadav looking to keeping it on the stumps and not give any room to the two batsmen. Hales again misses the pull, as he ducks under bouncer before looking to pull the next which he mishits on the leg side for one.

England off to a good start, as they reach 28 for no loss in five overs.
