Root falls for 13; England in trouble

August 21, 2018 16:50

Eng 62-3 (25 ovs); Target to win: 521 | Scorecard

A full delivery from Bumrah as Root flashes at it but is beaten. The next ball comes in as the England captain plays and misses. He then miscues a full toss on the leg side but luckily for him it falls short of mid-on.

Shami bowls a good over to Pope, sticking on a good line and length outside the off-stump.

Bumrah is finally rewarded for his good performance with the ball. Root throws his bat at a wide delivery which moves way to take the edge and Rahul takes another sharp catch at second slip.

England's captain walks back for 13 as the hosts slip to 62 for three, in the 25th over.

Bumrah, who has bowled non stop since the morning session, is finally rewarded with a wicket he so deserved, after beating the bat countless times.

With Jonny Bairstow sustaining a finger injury, Ben Stokes comes in to bat at No. 5 and he watchfully defends the last three balls of the over.
