Bairstow, Roy give England a good start

July 14, 2018 16:18

England 69-0 (10 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

After a shaky start, Roy looking to break the shackles as he smashes Pandya over the off-side and it goes all the way over the cover boundary for a six.

Pandya drops short as Bairstow slices it over short thirdman for a four before he smashes the next ball through the off-side for the same result.

Pandya tries the slower ball as Bairstow turns it on the leg side for one and Roy takes one from the last ball as Pandya goes for 17 in his second over.

Roy is nearly done in by the knuckle ball from Kaul, as he goes for the loft over the off-side and is foxed by the change of pace but somehow manages to clear the fielder in the covers for a four.

A couple of singles before Roy chances his arm again, whipping it uppishly over the leg side only for a single to deep square leg.

Two overs for Pandya with the new ball before India introduce spin as Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack, to bowl the ninth over.

He makes a tidy start, giving away just four singles in his first over.

In the next over, Bairstow has a mighty across the line swing against Kaul but fails to make connection.

But he manages to clip the next ball over midwicket for a four and gets a single from the next ball.

Kaul bowls a poor delivery, full on the pads, as Roy clips it past short fine leg for a four.

England have made a good start to reach 69 for no loss in 10 overs, with Bairstow on 38 from 29 balls and Roy on 30 from 31 balls.
