Rahul out for 13; India in trouble

August 03, 2018 21:56

India 46-3 (15 ovs); Target to win: 194 | Scorecard

Ben Stokes comes into the attack in place of Anderson, who bowls just six overs in his first spell this time around.

Kohli has a misunderstanding with his partner after he taps the ball near the pitch and sets off immediately before deciding to pull out of the run.

The next ball bounces high as Kohli opts to leave but is hit on the arm before he drills the next ball through the covers for three runs as Buttler does well to pull it just inside the ropes and Rahul gets a single courtesy off an inside edge.

Another change as Sam Curran comes in from the other end. Rahul is hit on the pads as Curran goes up in appeal immediately but yet again the inside edge saves him.

Kohli constantly chatting to Rahul, who is on strike, advising him before every ball followed by praises after he successfully keeps it out.

Stokes is finally rewarded for his persistence. He again bowls the perfect delivery which comes in with the angle and moves away late as Rahul is committed to the defensive poke and gets the edge to be caught behind for 13.

India in trouble on 46 for three, needing another 148 runs for victory.
