July 14, 2018 18:28
England 228-5 (40 ovs) vs India | Scorecard
The fall of wickets have charged up the Indians. Raina at point makes a full length dive to stop a certain boundary from Root as he goes after a wide delivery from Pandya.
Pandya doing an excellent job with the ball, giving away four runs in his ninth over.
Umesh also follows up with a tidy over, conceding four runs in his eighth over as India continue to build the pressure with some tight overs.
England caught in a dilemma on whether to take a few risks or keep their wickets for the end, when they can attack the bowlers.
Chahal, who has two overs in hand, comes back. Two singles from the first three balls before Root goes for the slog sweep but is beaten as Dhoni whips off the bail but the right-hander's backfoot hasn't moved out of the crease.
He gets a leading edge off the next ball trying to turn it on the leg side but it falls just short of the bowler.
Root sweeps the last ball behind square for a couple of runs as just four comes from the over.
England have stuttered in the last few overs, to reach 228 for five in 40 overs, scoring just 43 runs from the last ten overs, while losing three wickets.
