Kohli, Karthik steady India

August 03, 2018 23:14

India 105-5 (34 ovs); Target to win: 194 | Scorecard

Karthik slowly getting a bit more solid and is looking to follow his captain's example by taking singles whenever possible to keep the scoreboard ticking.

The play has been extended for another 20 minutes to make up for time lost to bad light earlier in the day.

Stokes tests Karthik with a couple of bouncers but Karthik is happy to duck under it with around 15 minutes left for stumps.

The beauty of the pitch is that at no stage can the batsmen afford to relax. Kohli who has been at the crease for 66 balls pokes at a wide outswinger and nearly ends up edging it.

He realises his mistake and allows the next ball to sail through to the keeper.

Karthik and Kohli look to have shut shop and are just playing for stumps as the England bowlers also seem to have tired out.

India are 105 for five in 34 overs, needing another 89 runs for victory.
