Pope, Root steady England

August 11, 2018 17:05

England 70-2 (20 ovs) vs India 107 | Scorecard

Hardik gets some movement as Pope chases a wide one and is beaten before he clips the next ball through midwicket for two runs.

Kuldeep bowls a beauty to Root, turn and bounce, as the England captain plays off the backfoot and is beaten all ends up.

No signs of Ravichandran Ashwin yet, one of India's best performers with the ball in the first Test.

India would do well to get their premier spinner into the attack soon before the two batsmen get more confident with their footwork and the behaviour of the pitch.

A single each to Pope and Root before the former clips the medium pacer off his pads for two runs.

Root sweeps Kuldeep for a single to the man in the deep before Pope steers a wide delivery from the spinner to thirdman for two runs followed by two more singles as the scoreboard continues to tick.

A single off Pandya's last ball to Pope as England reach 70 for two in 20 overs, with Pope on 21 and Root on 11.
