Pujara, Kohli extend India's lead past 300

August 20, 2018 16:27

India 147-2 (44 ovs) & 329 vs Eng 161 | Scorecard

A change in the bowling as Ben Stokes replaces Woakes. Kohli guides the first ball to thirdman for one before Pujara plays a loose shot, chasing a wide delivery, but is beaten.

Stokes then drifts on the pads as Pujara clips it through square leg for one and Kohli does the same off the last ball to keep strike.

Anderson beats Kohli with the incoming delivery but the confident shout for leg before wicket is turned down. Three balls later, Anderson beats Kohli with one that leaves him, narrowly missing the edge before he sees off the rest of the over.

Stokes produces a beauty to Pujara as the ball moves away quite a bit to beat the right-hander all ends up. Two balls later, Pujara again flirts with a wide delivery to get beaten again before he edges the last ball but it falls short of the slips for another maiden over as England look to build some pressure with some tight bowling.

Kohli looks content to defend with India aiming to play out the first hour and tire out the pacers.

Kohli picks a single off Anderson before wicketkeeper Bairstow is struck on the fingers off the last ball and needs some treatment.
