Dhawan, Kohli rally India after early wicket

July 17, 2018 18:04

India 67-1 (15 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Spin introduced as off-spinner Moeen Ali comes into the attack, replacing Willey, who bowled an excellent first spell of one for 20 in six overs.

Dhawan and Kohli easily collect five singles from Moeen's first over.

Plunkett is taken off after an expensive second over as he makes way for all-rounder Ben Stokes, who has so far struggled to impose himself in this series.

Kohli taps the second ball on the off-side for one before Dhawan clips the next ball over midwicket for a four to raise the 50-run stand from 53 balls to lead India's superb comeback after a slow start and an early wicket.

Dhawan pulls the last ball to deep square leg for one as India recover to 67 for one in 15 overs.

Dhawan has been instrumental in India's comeback, stroking 40 from 44 balls, laced with seven fours, while Kohli has made 22 from 28 balls.
