Shaw, Pujara hit 50s; India off to a good start

October 04, 2018 11:25

India 1st inns: 121-1 (23 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Gabriel oversteps as he gives away a no-ball as Shaw and Pujara raise the 100-run stand for the second wicket before Pujara takes a single from the fifth ball.

Pujara has kept a small bottle of water in his trouser pocket to keep himself hydrated, with the umpires getting strict recently on batsmen asking for drinks at regular intervals.

Chase then gifts him a full toss which Pujara clips through midwicket for a four and then takes one before Shaw also picks a single.

Pujara clips the last ball square on the leg side for two more runs to get eight from the over.

Sherman Lewis comes back into the attack. And he makes the mistake of bowling short as Shaw who enjoys playing on the backfoot slashes it behind point for a four.

The pacer tries another short ball as Shaw tries the ramp shot but fails to make connection before he picks one on the leg side.

Pujara slaps the last ball down the ground for a four to bring up his fifty in some style, from 67 balls.
