Pandya fails with the bat; India 6 down

August 31, 2018 20:49

India 194-6 (60 ovs) vs England 246 | Scorecard

It will be interesting to see Hardik Pandya's approach with the bat. He watchfully defends the first ball from Moeen, who has three deliveries left in the over.

But Pandya wastes no time as he sweeps the next ball for a four through midwicket to make his intentions clear and blocks the last ball.

India need their lower order to replicate England's last few batsmen and put on around 100-150 runs to help them take a sizeable lead.

With the pitch offering some help for the spinners, Ashwin will play a major role for India in England's second innings.

Pujara steers Anderson through point for two runs and then takes a single off the last ball to retain strike.

Moeen makes another breakthrough with the wicket of Hardik Pandya, who looks to flick it through the leg side but is caught at midwicket.

A loose shot from Pandya, who went with hard hands and played it uppishly to cost India an important wicket at a critical juncture.

Quite a good fightback from England after being bowled out for 246.
