Root and Bairstow perish; England 5 down

August 01, 2018 21:29

England 223-5 (66 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

The struggling Umesh comes back into the attack. Is it the right time to bring back the wayward Umesh especially with a new batsman out in the middle in Ben Stokes?

Bairstow punches the second ball down the ground as Murali Vijay makes a diving stop to keep it down to one.

New batsman Stokes is content to play it safe as he watchfully sees off the remaining four deliveries of the over.

In the next over, Bairstow turns Ashwin on the leg side for one before Stokes also clips the off-spinner on the on-side for a single to get off the mark.

Another single for Bairstow as three runs come from the Ashwin over.

Umesh makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Bairstow as India continue to chip away at the wickets.

Bairstow chases a wide delivery but only manages to drag it back on to his stumps to be bowled after a fluent 70 from 88 balls.

Two big wickets -- that of Root and Bairstow -- in the space of 24 balls as England slip to 223 for five after 66 overs.
