Root hits half-century; England on top

August 01, 2018 19:53

England 153-3 (49 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

The struggling Umesh starts his new over with a poor delivery. A full ball angled on the pads as Root flicks it through square leg for an easy boundary.

Root has got atleast a half-century in each of the 12 Tests against India. What a player!

Another delivery on the pads is clipped through midwicket for a couple as Umesh continues to struggle.

India will need to keep things tight with another 20-25 minutes for tea and not allow England to seize back the initiative after a couple of quick wickets by Shami earlier in the post-lunch session.

Ashwin comes back and Bairstow immediately targets the spinner, swinging the second ball over midwicket for a four to take England past 150.
