Ishant's triple strike leaves England in a mess

August 03, 2018 18:40

Eng 103-7 (36 ovs) & 287 vs India 274 | Scorecard

Ishant continues his wicket-taking run after the lunch break. He makes it three wickets in the over as Jos Buttler is caught behind two balls after resumption.

Buttler walks back for 1 as England slip further to 87 for seven, with an overall lead of 100 runs.

Three big wickets in an over for Ishant, including Bairstow, Stokes and Buttler, as England suffer a batting collapse on Day 3.

Left-hander Sam Curran, who played a good hand with the bat in the first innings, starts off well. He drives a full delivery from Ashwin straight down the ground for a four to get off the mark.

Ishant continues as Adil Rashid taps the third ball on the off-side for a single and Curran turns the next ball on the leg side for one.

A break for Ashwin as Shami is called back into the attack but no signs of Umesh Yadav yet in the second innings.

Curran pushes the second ball for a single before Rashid steers the fourth ball square for two runs.

Ishant loses his radar as he bowls a few down the leg side to left-hander Curran, who crashes the last ball, a wide half-volley through the covers for a four to bring up England's 100, in the 35th over.

In the next over, he drives Shami again through the off-side for a couple but is beaten off the last ball playing a loose shot outside the off-stump.
