Ishant leaves England in shambles

August 03, 2018 17:30

Eng 86-6 (30.4 ovs) & 287 vs India 274 | Scorecard

Bairstow looks to force a wide delivery from Ishant through the off-side but gets a thick inside edge for a boundary past the wicketkeeper.

He gets an outside edge off the last ball but this time it falls short of the fielder at first slip.

Ben Stokes, who was dismissed by Ashwin in the first innings, is quite watchful to start off with. He turns the off-spinner square on the leg side for two runs and repeats the shot two balls later for the same result and then takes one on the leg side.

India keep chipping away at the wickets. This time Ishant claims the wicket of Bairstow who gets the edge and Dhawan takes a good low catch to send back the right-hander for 28.

Two balls later, Ishant claims another big scalp, that of Stokes. The ball again moves away enough to take the edge and Kohli takes another sharp catch at third slip to send back the left-hander.

England in complete shambles on 86 for six in 30.4 overs at lunch on Day 3, with an overall lead of 99 runs.
