Root dismissed cheaply; England in trouble

August 30, 2018 16:18

England 17-2 (9 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

A tidy over from Ishant as he sticks to the the line just outside the off-stump and the left-hander is happy to see through the over.

Bumrah seems to have struck again as Root is hit on the pads by one which comes in sharply but the leg before appeal is turned down. India take the DRS but the fast bowler has overstepped and the visitors end up losing their review.

That was dead in front but Bumrah, like he did in the last Test, overstepped and cost India a wicket and this time it is the big scalp of Root.

Surprising that the on-field umpire didn't give it out!

The next ball again comes in as Root clips it square for two runs and he defends the rest of the over.

In the next over, Cook chases a wide delivery from Ishant, hitting it square on the off-side for a four.

Bumrah misses his radar as he bowls it down the leg side to Cook, who flicks it fine for a four.

Root is unable to make most of the earlier lifeline as Ishant gets him dismissed in a similar fashion. The full incoming delivery has the England captain in trouble as he looks to play it across the line but misses and is trapped leg before wicket.

Root walks back for four as England are reduced to 15 for two.

Jonny Bairstow, who is playing as a pure batsman, after his finger injury in the previous Test gets off the mark with a single after defending the first three balls and Cook also picks a run off the last ball.
