Buttler hits century; England continue to defy India

August 21, 2018 21:47

Eng 223-4 (80 ovs); Target to win: 521 | Scorecard

The new ball is not far away as Ashwin continues with Stokes again content to defend against the off-spinner.

India are trying everything possible to get that elusive breakthrough which could result in a few more wickets but so far Buttler and Stokes have held forte quite strongly.

Hardik Pandya comes back into the attack. He picked up five wickets in the first innings but has been used sparingly in the second innings, bowling just six overs out of 77 of the second innings so far.

Buttler turns the third ball down to fine leg for one and Stokes is easily able to keep the remaining three deliveries.

Ashwin rushes through his 19th over as India look to race towards the 80th over mark and take the second new ball.

A single off Pandya's eighth over as England reach 223 for four in 80 overs, still needing another 298 runs for victory.
