July 12, 2018 22:56

India 169-1 (25 ovs) vs England 268 | Scorecard

Rohit takes on Rashid as he sweeps the leg-spinner for a four through square leg. He then turns the next ball on the leg side for a couple before hitting the fifth ball over mid-on for a four and keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Spin from both ends as Moeen comes back and he bowls a tidy over, giving away just two singles.

A double change as pacer Wood comes into replace Rashid. Kohli hits the first ball for a cracking boundary through the covers to raise his half-century in style, from 55 balls.

A single off the next ball bring up the 100-run stand for the second wicket between the duo from just 99 balls.

Wood attempts a short ball which Rohit ramps fine on the thirdman fence for a four and then pulls the last ball, which is again short, for a four through square leg.

Wood goes for 15 in the over as India cruise to 169 for one in 25 overs at the halfway mark, with Rohit on 75 and Kohli on 52.
