England struggle after early wickets

August 30, 2018 16:38

England 26-2 (12 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bumrah bowls a full toss as Cook slaps it through the off-side for a four before the pacer bowls a beauty to beat the left-hander off the last ball of the over. That was so close to the edge!

Ishant troubles Bairstow with the incoming delivery as the right-hander gets an inside edge on to his pads. Two balls later, Ishant produces another cracking delivery, as he goes through the gap between the bat and bad as Bairstow is beaten and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant does well with a flying take to his left as the ball keeps rising after passing the stumps.

In the next over, Cook clips a full delivery from Bumrah to midwicket for a single. Another overpitched delivery is driven through the covers by Bairstow for three runs before Cook has to keep out a yorker and is beaten by the last ball.

Cook has a close shave as he drives uppishly on the off-side but it falls short of Rahane who is standing square close-in.

The first hour has gone to plans for India as England are reduced to 26 for two in 12 overs, with Cook on 15 and Bairstow on five.
